Sheet protectors FAQs

Are sheet protectors the same as plastic sleeves?

Yes. Sheet protectors, plastic sleeves, binder sleeves and plastic pockets all mean a clear punched sleeve that holds a page inside a binder.

What does micron mean?

Micron is the film thickness, one thousandth of a millimetre. A 35 micron sleeve is light and economical; 70 micron and above is heavy duty.

Which sheet protector suits a thick document?

Use an expanding or gusset sleeve, which has extra width at the edge to hold brochures or several pages together.

What else do I need for a binder?

See binders and binder dividers, or display books if you want the sleeves bound in.
