Item Description
E. Gerber Mylites 2 Mil Mylar Bags - Large Comics, Magazine, and Letter Size (50 Sleeves)
This product provides premium archival storage for oversized collectibles, including standard-sized magazines, current graphic novels, European albums, and large-format Golden Age comics that are slightly smaller than the "Super Golden Age" size.
Product Overview and Specifications
Product Line: Mylites 2 (M2)
Quantity: 50 Sleeves
Material: 2 Mil thick Mylar (Polyester Film)
Size: Large Comics, Magazine, and Letter Size (Item Code is often 875M2 or 88M2)
Approx. Dimensions: 8 5/8" x 11"(Bag size, plus a 1 1/2"fold-over flap).
Intended Use: Magazines (e.g., Savage Sword of Conan, Wizard), current graphic novels, standard letter-sized documents, and some oversized comics.
Archival Quality and Protection
Mylites sleeves are constructed from Mylar D, an inert, chemically stable material trusted by major archives for long-term preservation.
Non-Degrading: Mylar is acid-free and will not yellow, cloud, or degrade over centuries. This eliminates the need for future re-bagging.
Clarity: The film is crystal clear, providing excellent visibility for display.
Environmental Barrier: Provides a robust shield against oxygen, moisture, fungus, mold, and environmental acids. The material is hundreds of times more resistant to gas diffusion than typical poly bags.
Physical Strength: The 2 mil thickness offers reliable structural integrity for heavier magazines and graphic novels.
Usage and Recommendations
The sleeves feature a fold-over flap that can be secured with archival-safe tape (not included) for a complete, dust-free enclosure.
For optimal protection of magazines and comics, these Mylites 2 sleeves should be paired with the corresponding E. Gerber Magazine or Large Comic Backing Boards (Full Backs or Half Backs).
