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.

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.

I've just finished scanning about 5000 slides into my Mac Pro and this is the perfect home for them. The slides have had many hiding places over the last 40 years, but I'm sure they are happiest in these slide pages. I have them in a drawer of a file cabinet in wide 2" folders which is ideal for going back for a repeat scan if necessary - I couldn't be more satisfied. Out of the 3 packs I bought, only one page was not useable - highly recommended.

Excellent product at a good price. Slides can be easily inserted and removed yet securely hold them better than other manufacturer's products I have used. The Print File also provides ample space to annotate pages.

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!

I'm very satisfied with the "Slide Pack"

The pages are well constructed and 35mm slides fit easily into the pockets.

Brief notes may be written on specially treated surfaces located adjacent to each pocket.

25 filled pages fit comfortably into a 3" ring binder which provides for ready access and saves considerable space over other slide-storage methods.

Finally able to organized years of slide in separate boxes into the sheets then into a binder. Local photo shops either don't have them or charge a lot higher.

The top of the slide pocket tends to tear if you are not careful how you insert the

slides. Other than that it would be a 5 star rated item. I will buy them again.

Since I am scanning and organizing my collection of slides anyway, I thought I'd pick these up to replace some of the beat-up boxes some of my slides live in now.

Using these to store slides in binders will be more economical than archival file boxes, and makes them easier to view with less handling. Slides fit snugly, and the sleeves appear to be of very good quality material.

And my slides are happier!
