Plastic sleeves for wax boxes?

natsturner · 05-12-2021, 09:36 PM

Looking to protect the shrink wrap around 90's boxes in particular by wrapping my boxes in a temporary plastic sleeve (BBCE doesn't wrap modern boxes). Kind of like an oversized protective soft plastic sleeve people use for graded cards. I've seen a few boxes I've purchased have a similar sleeve that is giant and fits around the box, and works great.

Anyone know where I could purchase some of these?

I did not realize that BBCE didn't wrap modern boxes.

With the way the market has moved upwards recently, that seems like a no brainer area to move into.

I'd look into Gusseted polypropylene bags personally.

Here are some resealable poly bags but I don't think they'll be wide enough for boxes.

They don't wrap factory wrapped boxes. They will wrap factory sealed cases though.

All I can come up with are comic book size bags from Ultra Pro. Most slim modern Topps Chrome/Prizm boxes should fit inside them. The largest Ultra Pro has available aren't resealable but most are.

Comic Preserve (7" x 10-1/2") *Cardboard insert on this one
https://www.ultrapro.com/product_inf...97aa13eq8riuc1

11" x 17"
https://www.ultrapro.com/product_inf...97aa13eq8riuc1

Magazine size (8-3/4" x 11") (Resealable)
https://www.ultrapro.com/product_inf...97aa13eq8riuc1

Comic Book Size (7-1/4" x 10-1/2") (Resealable)
https://www.ultrapro.com/product_inf...97aa13eq8riuc1

The only issue I can see is that using comic book plastic doesn't allow for clean stacking as they become pretty slippery.

Hope that helps!
