| ★★★★★ | Easy, Efficient, Practical Family Slides Archive | | Verified Purchase | My family slide collection dates back to 1959. My sister had them scanned (volume of slides, not ideal quality, and over-priced). As I’m a creative professional and own a high res scanner, I wanted to rescan as necessary when used. I used about 3/4 of the package of 100 sheets to organize and protect the entire collection. The individual pages enabled me to organize by date and subject which made the organization very practical for future use.
I found the slide collection in a pile without any protection after commercially scanned. After several days/many hours I now have the collection in binders and organized chronologically. Very happy each slide is protected from scratches, dust and mishaps! The top loading sheets are especially user-friendly too. | | | | ★★★★★ | Great storage solution with easy access | | Verified Purchase | | Used this product to store about 4,000 slides from the past 50 years. Considering how many there were it doesn't take that long to get them into the pockets, and it made it a whole lot easier to look at a series of pictures on a light table, and easy to remove to scan and get prints. Very clear, no distortion on the light table, and much more efficient storage. Got all those slides into one Tote box, down from about 30 trays. | | | | ★★★★★ | Archiving, storing, making available -- all possible using these. | | Verified Purchase | The slides stored in their boxes for decades, in a bin in the basement, are finally available for viewing and sharing by my family across the country.
It took some effort to empty those bins, insert the sildes, number the sheets and scan them, but the result is the pictures are available for everyone rather than waiting for a flood to ruin them in the basement.
Without these archival sheets, the basement bins would still be full. | | | | ★★★★★ | Great Quality for the Price | | Verified Purchase | I bought this because I have been working on archiving all my photo negatives and Slides. It has taken me a few years to go through all my negatives and archive them. Now I needed to start on the slides.
To explain my project a little, I am putting all my negatives and slides into protective sleeves. I have put all these sleeves in a binder that can zipper close (to prevent things from falling out). I also put in several index dividers and created a table of contents in the front. It was important that I organize the negatives as much as possible to find them later.
First thing I noticed when I received this item was that the package is pretty heavy duty. There are a lot of sheets inside and it was nice to know that the company wanted to protect them. I have gotten slide and negative sheets that were folded in the past. These were not.
Another thing is that these are slightly wider than index dividers and will cover up any dividers below it. If this is a problem you can purchase adhesive dividers that can attach to the edges of the sheets.
The plasic they used to make this was pretty heavy duty. It actually feels thick in your hand. Not thin and cheaply made. This means that your seams and openings for putting in and taking out the slides will withstand a little beating.
Another thing that I like is that I can put the slide in the pocket either up and down, or side ways. This allows me to always orientate my picture in an upright and viewable position. I have some other slide holders that are a bit narrow and are difficult to get the slides in and out. This product does not do that.
I also like that each picture, or slide position has a place to record what the picture is. There is also a space at the tope of the page to put the date, assignment, and file number. Having the ability to identify the individual slides makes it easier to retrieve them later.
Anyone that is archiving some slides should consider ordering this item. Getting it in the pack of 100 really saves on ordering more later. If you have a lot of slides 100 sheets will really help too. | | | | ★★★★★ | Perfect, archival 2X2 inch storage | | Verified Purchase | | Great pages! Print File is THE company for all of my archival needs. They offer high quality, completely archival enclosure items, etc. These pages may be a tad pricey, but they offer something that most of them do not... a fantastic small write-on strip that is so convenient for identifying, classifying, or dating what you use them for. They were delivered as promised and came nicely packaged. | | | | ★★★★★ | Great way to store slides! | | Verified Purchase | | I really like using these! I had a box of old slides that had old rubber bands around them and it's so much better having them in these sheets! You can view the slides through the plastic without handling them - very helpful. These are then put in a big 3 ring binder and can be stored for future prints or generations! They're all scanned! | | | | ★★★★★ | Does the Job | | Verified Purchase | | I needed to get 2,000 old slides out of Carousel trays and reclaim that shelf space. I've read dozens of reviews of digital slide scanners from people across the country with the same need and motivation, and none right now stand out as the perfect solution. At the very least, even if the technology was flawless, I could see hours upon hours evaporating as I fed slides into the scanner, adjusted for exposure or color balance, and finalized the copy. So I decided that instead of scanning the whole collection, I'd put them all in archival sleeves, keep the sleeves in a binder, and as needed pluck out specific slides for digitizing on the best, simple, low-capacity digitizer I can find at the moment. After all, most of these I'll never look at again--I just don't know which I will want to use for some purpose or share when nostalgia moves me. These sleeves seem to be the most commonly used, and I'm hoping they are sufficient protection for the next few years--after which, I suppose, no one will care. I did have a few slides stored already in older, heavier plastic sleeves that seem to have hardened a bit and turned somewhat opaque over the past 30 years or so. I've transferred those, too, and trust the new ones are of a material that is truly more "archival." | | | | ★★★★★ | The recommended way to store slides | | Verified Purchase | The only proper way to store photographic 35mm slides is in slide pages like these. The slides are well protected from dust and oxidation, yet able to breath. The plastic file pages are safe (PVC free) for film storage and will not damage the emulsion over time, as many cut-rate storage pages will.
Easy to use, the slides slide in and out very easily. The thickness of the plastic makes these storage pages very durable and easy to handle. Made to fit a standard 3-ring binder, they are great for organizing your archives and still allow easy access. You can view the slides directly through the plastic, so you only have to remove or handle a slide when you need to.
There are also nice areas to write on the slide pages, so that you can catalog them for easy reference. If you are still storing slides in boxes or paper sleeves - I would strongly urge you to upgrade to this form of storage! | | | | ★★★★★ | Good quality slide pages | | Verified Purchase | | Perfect heavy duty, quality slide pages - perfect for archiving our 60-years worth of slides. Room for 20 slides per page - can view slides while in place in page - area at top for labeling dates/locations etc. Very happy with purchase - arrived quickly, good quality, easy to use - now if they only were able to insert the slides on their own.... | | | | ★★★★★ | So much better than storing in slide boxes. | | Verified Purchase | | They fit an Avery 1.5 inch binder I had on hand no problem. Took me a moment to figure out how to load them, but once I saw the opening, it was super easy. So nice to be able to see everything at once and enough pages to load the pages by category. | | | | See more reviews |

| Question: | Can these sheets be stored with a hanging bar for a file cabinet rather than in a 3-ring binder? | | Answer: | Not really, they have 5 holes along one side to be used in a standard 3 ring binder. I use a heavy duty 2 inch lay flat type 3 ring binder which holds 25 pages filled with slides. Then, I use an Excel spreadsheet to list all the slides on each page and the slide it in the front cover. Hope this helps.
Sheila | | | | Question: | "print file 2x2-20b archival storage page for 20 slides - pack of 25 - 050-0270" specifically stated "no pvc". is this product pvc-free?: | | Answer: | All Print-File merchandise is Archival quality, acid free, photo safe and PVC free. | | | | Question: | Are these pages 7-hole punch or 3-hole punch? | | Answer: | They have seven (7) holes. | | | | Question: | I have various sized negatives, some quite SMALL and some quite old and LARGE. I need something by which to SEE them. Help!!! | | Answer: | If you just want to look at one slide at a time there is a tool we use called a Photo Loop, or you can use a hand held magnifier. The Loop is a small one inch in dia. magnifier that sits on top of one slide. It is about 2" tall when open, and it folds up for storage. When using the Photo Loop you need a light source from under the slide such a light box or light table. The Loop is not much use without it. You should be able to find a Photo loop at a camera store or on line. I currently have a small light box and I use a hand held magnifier. Since you have various size materials to look at a hand held magnifier might be your soulution. But you need a light box or table. Hope this helps.

| | | | Question: | Is this 5 pages that hold 20 slides each = 100 slides or 100 pages that hold 20 each = 2,000? | | Answer: | As the image shows, 4 across * 5 down = 20 slides for each page. A package has 100 such pages. 100 * 20 = 2000 slides | | | | Question: | What is the style number on these? (Upper right corner of the page.) I cannot tell from the image preview. | | Answer: | They say "STYLE NO. 2 x 2 - 208". The are excellent for 35mm slides. | | | | Question: | My old slide pages are turning "liquid", they are slowly dissolving.
How many years do you think these pages will last? | | Answer: | If by "liquid" you mean sticky, get your slides out of them fast. I have non-PVC sleeves like this Printfile product that have held up fine for a generation. I'm not an expert in archiving, but before transferring your files to an archival box or non-PVC sleeves, you might want to let them air for bit (a few hours?) in case there's some gas on them.
| | | | Question: | How thick do 10 of these sheets lay when full of slides? i'd like to buy a clamshell 3-ring protector, but i don't know how big! | | Answer: | I put at least 50 filled with slides in a 3" binder so with 10 pages of slides you'd be ok with 2" binder | | | | Question: | I have various sized negatives, some quite SMALL and some quite old and LARGE. I need something by which to SEE them. Help!!! | | Answer: | I went with a Canon Canoscan 9000F to scan my slides and negatives. It takes various sizes of negatives, does a good job at color balance, saturation and contrast and is pretty fast. Plus it's inexpensive! | | | | See more questions |
