Let me start by saying, these Golden State Art clear bags are a game-changer for anyone who needs to protect and display artwork, photos, or documents. I've been using them for my 12x16 matted prints, and they deliver exactly what they promise.

The clarity is impressive - it's like there's nothing between your artwork and the viewer. I love how professional my prints look when displayed in these sleeves. They make my amateur photography look gallery-ready!

Durability is solid for the price point. While they're not indestructible (and shouldn't be used for sharp objects), they've held up well to regular handling during art shows. The 1.57 mil thickness provides decent protection against dust and minor scratches.

The resealable adhesive strip works beautifully - I've opened and closed the same bag multiple times without any loss of stickiness. Though as some reviewers noted, you do need to press firmly when sealing to ensure a good bond.

One minor gripe: the sleeves can develop creases if not stored flat, and the occasional manufacturing inconsistency (like hole punch placement) can be annoying for perfectionists. But at this price point, these are forgivable flaws.

For artists selling their work or photographers protecting prints, these bags offer excellent value. They're affordable enough to use professionally yet sturdy enough that your work stays protected. After testing multiple brands, these have become my go-to protective sleeves.
