Lay-flat archival polyester pocket
A polyester pocket with a clear front and back is provided. A spun-bonded polyester strip is positioned near the open end of the polyester pocket to prevent atmospheric contaminants from entering the polyester pocket. The spun-bonded polyester strip also allows the polyester pocket to lay flat when multiple polyester pockets are stacked upon one another. The thickness of the spun-bonded polyester can be made to roughly correspond to the thickness of documents inserted into the polyester pocket.
1. A polyester pocket, comprising:
a top layer of polyester;
a bottom layer of polyester, non-unitary with respect to said top layer, adhered to said top layer of polyester, said top layer of polyester and said bottom layer of polyester forming a pocket;
a document within said pocket;
a spun-bonded polyester layer, adhered to said top layer of polyester or said bottom layer of polyester;
said spun-bonded polyester layer is positioned at an open end of said pocket such that said spun-bonded polyester layer is configured to create an atmospheric seal for document within said pocket;
said spun-bonded polyester layer having the same thickness as said document; and
said top layer of polyester, said bottom layer of polyester, said spun-bonded polyester layer and said document forming a flat pocket;
said document inserted between said top layer of polyester and said bottom layer of polyester via said open end such that said spun-bonded polyester forms an atmospheric seal via static cling to prevent pollutants from entering said open end and also to allow for flatness.
