I've seen pics-for-sale at fairs and such -- really nice original pictures that are encapsulated in a 4x6, 8x10, etc. - in a matte finish (sans frame) that has celophane around it (to prevent finger prints, etc.)

Where does someone buy these ?

Thanks

You're welcome!

They have two different types of bags. On the regular bags the re-sealable edge is on the flap which is great because you can fold the flap down over the print/mat so it doesn't slide around inside. Problem is the print can get stuck to the sticky edge when inserted in/removed from the bag. The "PC" bags have the re-sealable edge on the bag and the flap folds over. no way the print will get stuck up on it but you can't fold the bag snugly around the print.

I find I need both for different applications.

Maybe a stupid question, but let me try to ask it.

So, for each picture you sell, you have to buy a MATTE, a Backer Board, and a celophane "bag", right? How do you attach the picture to the matte? Glue? or do you just press the backing board againt the matte/picture to hold it in place?

Thanks

I usually use hinge tape across the top edge of the print to secure it to the matte then slide it into the bag. The matte helps keep it flat. I don't use the backer board when bagging prints because it adds bulk and takes too much room.
