Question about protection for steelbooks - Blu-ray Forum

GoldenCobras · 02-10-2013, 08:41 PM

Hello everyone!
I was looking to protect my Disney steel book/viva metal pack and was hoping someone can tell me if these bags are good.

I searched on Ebay

I asked the seller if they are acid free and they responded: This is acid free, BOPP plastic bag.

Size: 7.5" x 6" w/adhesive seal on flap to close (flap depth 1.5")

I read some threads here discussing rust on some steelbooks and also saw some talk about mylar bags. Any idea if the ones I posted would be ok or if there is a site that offers mylar bags which are the ideal size for steelbooks?

Thank you very much in advance!

***Edit*** I am sorry for posting an eBay link I must have looked over that in the rules, my bad. If you search "400 - 7.5 X 6 " BLU-RAY DVD CASE POLY SLEEVE BAGS JS84" those are the ones I am talking about.

Hey thank you jw for the response. I am aware of that site and also have a pack of 100, but do you know if those contain acid in the plastic? I saw numerous posts and threads on this site to stay away from plastic sleeves that contain acid as they will degrade over time and can potentially cause harm to steelbooks. I pointed the ones out above and was wondering if anyone has these or may have used them and also what they think about them. Im looking for something that is a step up from the shop4tech ones, i know about the 3 sided hard cover ones and dont personally like them because one side is still opened.
If anyone knows something that is mylar and the ideal size for steels, or if someone knows about the ones I posted please help me out. Thank you in advance.

Both Bill Cole and E. Gerber sell archival quality mylar (acid free) at various shapes and sizes. One of the 1 mil Arklite size is for DVD.
