Sheet protector LEITZ 56171 for A4 (210 x 297 mm), transparent, pack of 100

LEITZ sheet protector 56171 is a transparent polypropylene sleeve sized for A4 documents (210 x 297 mm). Supplied as a pack of 100, these clear sleeves are designed to protect single sheets from dirt, moisture and wear while keeping documents fully visible. The sleeves are compatible with standard ring binders and provide a lightweight archival option for offices, schools and home filing.

Advantages

These transparent sheet protectors offer reliable protection against fingerprints, spills and surface abrasion while allowing printed text and images to remain clearly readable. The polypropylene material resists creasing and yellowing over time, maintaining a neutral appearance. Because they are thin and light, they add minimal bulk to a binder and make it easy to flip through pages. The punched edge aligns with standard binder rings for secure storage.

Suitable for

• Storing single A4 sheets in ring binders
• Protecting certificates, photos and printed materials from handling
• Document archiving in offices and schools
• Home filing and recipe or manual protection

When it may not be suitable

These sleeves are intended for single-sheet protection and are not designed to hold thick documents or multiple pages at once. They do not provide heavy-duty waterproofing or rigid support, so for long-term preservation of delicate originals or highly valuable items you may prefer archival-grade, acid-free folders or rigid sleeves.

Key specifications

• Format compatibility: A4 (210 x 297 mm)
• Material: transparent polypropylene
• Pack size: 100 sleeves
• Design: punched edge for standard ring binders
• Finish: clear, non-coated surface for visibility

How to use

Insert a single A4 sheet into the sleeve from the open side, ensuring the document sits flat and aligned. Place the punched edge over the rings of a standard binder and close the rings to secure the sleeve. To remove, open the binder rings and slide the sleeve off; handle by the punched edge if frequent access is required to reduce fingerprints on the main surface. When storing multiple sleeves in a binder, avoid overfilling to prevent creasing at the edges.

What to consider before purchase

• Quantity required — pack contains 100 sleeves
• Compatibility with your binder type and number of rings
• Need for archival-grade or acid-free protection for valuable documents
• Whether you require printed or matte finish for anti-glare handling

Usage recommendations

For routine document protection and frequent handling, use one sheet per sleeve and store in appropriately sized binders. Keep sleeves in a dry, cool environment to maintain clarity and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to reduce potential fading of stored print.
