I have no personal experience with the brand, but I can say that "archival safe" is meaningless, and holds as much weight as a restaurant that advertises "world's best coffee."

The other variable is that what made now may be fine but not what is made later as production materials and techniques change.

For example, there has been a noticeable drop in the quality of binders. I have Avery binders made 15 to 20 years ago that are much better than new "heavy duty" Avery binders made now. They changed the design likely to reduce cost. The same can happen with something like protective sheets or anything else.

Use Marbig Heavyweight 75 microns.
20 years so far
No noticeable (visable) damage as yet.
Under lock and key in stable environment.




Similar here in Oz, Marbig no longer in stock from major supplier,
The new option (J Burrows) lopped 10mm from the width of the front and back covers, leaving ones sheets open to damage.

C-Line Heavy Weight Sheet Protectors are high quality, sturdy and durable. They are archival, acid-free, and come in clear or non glare options.
