FAQs
Are these pockets acid-free?
These pockets are designed for standard document protection; please check the specific packaging batch for archival-grade certification if intended for long-term historical storage.
Do they fit A4 binders?
These are A5-sized pockets. While they may physically fit inside a larger A4 binder, they will not align with the rings of a standard A4 binder.
Can I use these with lever arch folders?
Yes, the multi-punched strip is compatible with most standard lever arch folders and ring binders.
How many sheets can fit in one pocket?
It is recommended to insert up to 10 sheets of standard 80gsm paper to maintain the structural integrity of the pocket.
Are the pockets recyclable?
Most polypropylene pockets are recyclable, but you should check with your local municipal guidelines regarding soft plastic recycling.
Troubleshooting
Pocket edge tearing at the punch holes
Avoid placing too many sheets of paper in a single pocket; limit to 5-10 standard sheets to reduce weight strain.
Static cling making it hard to insert paper
Gently rub the outside of the pocket with an anti-static dryer sheet or simply pull the opening apart and blow a small puff of air into the pocket to break the seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the pockets is straightforward: simply align the multi-punched strip with the rings of your A5 binder and press the rings through the holes. For longevity, avoid overstuffing the pockets, as this can strain the punched edge. If the pockets become dusty, wipe them down with a dry, soft microfiber cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials which could scratch or cloud the surface.
