Default Sleeves for print protection

I have seen several people recently giving talks on their work, where their prints were protected in clear plastic sleeves. I wonder if anyone knows the right name for such sleeves and where they can be purchased?

I've used the Silverprint ones for about a year now and whilst the quality is superb the high gloss can make viewing difficult.

If you want to get the best print sleeves make sure they're from Secol.
That might sound like blatant biased advertising spiel, but at Silverprint in the early days we went all over the place to source polyester sleeves, including buying our own machine & welding them in-house.

We always came back to Secol, they're the best for quality of weld, cleanliness, consistency. Statement of fact.

Couldn't agree more. Personally I wouldn't use anything else.
