Are these acid-free for long-term protection of important papers?

I'm not entirely sure because it doesn't say. But as long as you don't cut the document after laminated, it holds up extremely well.

I don't know. I used them on paperwork the kids had in school growing up (certificates, awards, letters, etc. So I'm not sure how long it will protect important documents.

This is what it says on the front of the package, "Protect items from damage; Clear professional finish; Uses for: certificates, signs, awards, calendars, kids artwork. On the back it says, "Clear to let important information show through; Keep items clean; Use with Scotch Thermal Laminators; Photo safe* (*Photo safe determined in accordance with ISO Standard 18916); Other uses: Calendars, Schedules, Photos." I would assume that it is.

Not sure if the pages are acid free. The pages are paper with plastic sleeves. On the side of the sleeve closest to the binding there is a spot where you can write information about each individual photo.

Print File products repeatedly claim archival quality, acid free,etc. Unfortunately the slides themselves are not...I have dye failure on many slides, 60 to 70 years old, but those sealed in metal or tight plastic boxes have fared better. I would also suggest binders or sealed boxes.

They last a long time if you are careful - I only replaced my last one because I pushed on one corner too hard, bending it and stopping sand paper sticking properly. Would have been a few years old.

Have had no problems with acidic drinks. The grandkids have been using them for months. They are not made of the usual disposable straw material; they are more sturdy

I cannot verify that they are "archival quality" -- but did it not state they were acid free?

Yes, they are. They are wonderful. I use them for medicines, condiments etc. They last for a long time too, without staining and peeling.

Nope sorry, but just know (because I didn't) these are not an acid free, light fast, archival medium. They will fade and change with time.

I don't believe so. I looked at the package and it doesn't comment about that. You do need to be careful about using them around high temperatures. If you write something and laminate the page the ink will disappear.

No where on the package or on the inserted instructions does it say "acid free", so I am inclined to say these are not archival safe. I myself use them in multimedia art projects. They print up beautifully. I seal my images with Aileen's Matte spray sealer after printing.

I don't know about the acid-free thing, but I have been using them for my vacation photos for over 10 years and have not noticed any yellowing. I still use them today and just bought another album last year for our trip to Turkey. I hope I have helped some. So far, I think they they are a pretty good product and I particularly like the large size. H.S. Johnston

I can't answer for sure, but I have had some for at least a year that I have used without any problems. They are very well sealed and I do sort of shake them before using just in case the ink has settled.

I'm sorry, there is nothing on the packaging stating if it is 'acid free'. I checked closely and could not find it stated anywhere. I hope this helps.

To be very honest I have to admit that I do not know. My guess however, based on their intended usage (affixed to the exterior of vinyl/plastic notebooks) I would NOT assume that they are. Hope you are able to get an accurate response.

Yes, they are paper with no special lining. But I have not seen any signs of scratching.

Wouldn't know, it says "chlorine free" and "paper-please recycle" on the box, as for the rest of it, it's written in German so I don't know. I have been using them for over 15 years and never had a problem, if that helps at all.

I have no idea if it is acid free, but i do think this item is good for long term storage of Cd's or DVDs. It isn't the sturdiest case you will find, but should do a OK job for long term storage of items. Hope this helps you!!
