Great Heavy Duty slide pages that protect my slide accumulation of 40 years (20,000). I used a lighter weight product before but it did not hold up as well. I'll buy these again.

4.0 out of 5 stars 35mm Slide Pages, August 11, 2009

I am, like many long-time photographers, in the position of having a life-time of 35mm slides in boxes that I rarely look at due to the inconvenience. As a part of a retirement project of scanning the important slides into digital files so I can distribute CD copies to ungrateful relatives, I needed a way to have easy access to the slides. The transparent slide sheets are the answer. They hold 20 slides per page and fit perfectly into three-ring binders. I would have given the product a five-star rating but I found one minor glitch -- the slide pages are formed from two sheets of plastic, thermo-formed into pockets and slits cut so you can put in the slides. Not all of the pockets on my slide sheets were cut open and I have had to do that with an X-acto knife. Not a 'show stopper' but something to note.

On the positive side, the slide pages are robust, very clear, and are supposed to be of archival quality -- meaning they won't contritbute to slide deterioration from any chemical emissions from the material they are made of.

Overall a great product at a great price. The company who makes the product sent an email when they were shipped giving tracking info which is a nice gesture.

Great stuff.

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.
