Glassine Envelopes

Description

Glassine Envelopes

These glassine envelopes are designed specifically for entomological collections, providing protection for specimens in both fieldwork and storage. Crafted from 30 lb. glassine, the envelopes are lightweight yet durable, ensuring maximum safeguarding of insects with delicate wings, including moths and butterflies. The smooth, non-stick surface of the glassine allows the specimen to remain flat and prevent damage to the wings or rubbing scales off, while offering excellent resistance to moisture and humidity, which is essential for preserving the integrity of your specimens.

The envelopes feature a convenient V-shaped flap for easy, one-handed use, making them ideal for collectors on the go. Free of adhesive and with strong seams, these envelopes are designed to securely hold specimens without the risk of sticking or tearing, even in challenging environmental conditions.

Each envelope is pH balanced and acid-free, ensuring long-term protection for specimens without compromising their condition. Sold in packs of 100, these envelopes are a must-have for professional entomologists, hobbyists, and collectors who seek both reliability and convenience in specimen storage.
