Clear File pages have passed the Photographic Activity Test (PAT) and are recognized by photographic professionals and archivists as the finest available. From The Library of Congress to The Tate Gallery, Clear File products are used all over the world to provide safe, long-term protection for valuable photographic materials. Clear File ArchivalCLASSIC Transparency & Negative pages are manufactured from the Original Polyethylene Formula. They feature translucent clarity, but are recommended for contact prints over their polypropylene counterparts because their lower gloss and page reflectivity enable a sharper image to be produced. All Clear File ArchivalCLASSIC pages feature printed data panels on each page for notes.

Clear File archival pages feature "rip-resistant" seals, a stitched sealing method that allows each seal to work independently to resist tearing, unlike straight line seals that continue to separate completely once the rip begins. A stitched seal also provides greater airflow between pockets to protect against ferrotyping, moisture and mildew.
