100 Pack Maxtek Premium Thick White Paper CD DVD Sleeves Envelope with Window Cut Out and Flap, 100g Heavy Weight.

Inferior quality,

Not as shown in picture. Very low quality plastic & thin papper.

Let me start by saying I used to buy only the 500 count of Kodak cd/dvd paper sleeves, that is until they quit making them years ago. I liked the quality as they were thicker than other brands and withstand the test of time. I am down to my last two boxes of sleeves and had to start looking around for an identical alternative as I will go through these fairly quick. I use the reference for Kodak as they were high quality and had more high reviews at the time they were made than the other brands.I saw the reviews of these Maxtex Premium White Paper cd/dvd sleeves and though priced a bit higher than the 500 count Kodak boxes (you can only buy these 100 at a time and not 500, so cost per 100 is higher), I thought I would give them shot. Since they were sold only in packs of 100, i've spent $6 or so in worse ways and i'd be able to use them for something if they turned out cheesy. Well, to my surprise they were very good quality paper sleeves and very comparable.How close in comparison? Well, I put them side by side and then mixed up a couple of them and showed my wife. I told her to pick the Kodak one. She said they were the same in looks and feel and both were Kodak. One was Kodak and one was Maxtek, that is how close they are in comparison. There is a slight cosmetic difference in the fold and the size of the little flap the holds the fold if you elect to use it. The differences are so minimal and you really have to look.If you want a thicker, higher quality paper sleeve, these Maxteks will make you happy. These are the 100 pack and not the 1,000 pack that seem to be a more generic and thinner paper according to many of the reviews I read here, though both are made by Maxtek. I'd much rather buy them by bulk but not through loss of quality so I will stick to these 100 packs.

I am a curator and manage multiple archives that has thousands of M-Discs and other optical discs to conserve. I had been using Walmart Onn sleeves, which were unbelievably the heaviest sleeves available I could find. Walmart discounted them so was looking for a new heavy sleeve. The Maxtek Premium sleeves are about the same in thickness as the Onn sleeves. Very happy with the Maxtek sleeves.Daniel D.Teoli Jr. Archival CollectionDaniel D.Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film ArchiveDaniel D.Teoli Jr. VHS Video ArchiveDaniel D.Teoli Jr. Audio ArchiveDaniel D.Teoli Jr. Advertising ArchiveDaniel D.Teoli Jr. Social Documentary Photography

So for the last 30 years, I've amassed several hundred CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays, all ripped to a home server. Instead of wasting valuable storage space by keeping them in their original cases, I decided for CDs I would keep the disc and the liner notes, and for the most part, these envelopes hold up wonderfully. I can fit two to three CDs, and their associating liner notes in one envelope, though normally it's just the one CD and its liner notes. For DVDs, I only keep the disc and toss the rest, and these work great for that too. This has reduced my overall storage needs by about 60%. I'm currently storing the envelopes on their sides (don't store optical media face down...) inside Sterilite 18 quart containers (the ones with the clear lid are best). These envelopes are a godsend.

I use them for the cds and dvds so I can take them out of the cases and save space. They didn't tear or break when someone threw them around in the car. If you have those "set" dvds, they're good, I have 2 or 3 discs together in some of these.

I can’t truly comment on adhesion as we utilize our sleeves for DVDs, and the seal remains open.My family and I have an extensive DVD collection as we haven’t joined the masses in digital movie watching.These fit the bill: simple, inexpensive and freed up a lot of clutter. I find the display of DVD’s to be unsightly, with the varying colors on the binding. We were able to toss out all of our cases and reduce our designated DVD storage to two rather small containers.The wanna-be minimalist in me is happy. I will update with a photo when I have labeled/alphabetized our movies.
