Hi Julie, you can look for some pictures of different films at Long Life for Art (from Germany)

What material are the barrier bags made of? I did a quick google search and see that term used fairly loosely. Is there a manufacturer you go to?

We've been sealing objects in barrier bags, either with a heat sealer or a dead-fold as you've described. The barrier bags don't allow the odour to escape, making the object 'invisible' to bugs, or those pests relying on smell anyway.

I am beginning a project of adding an extra layer of protection between pests (specifically moths) and our high-danger collections. Storage boxes are generally made of corrugated plastic sheeting, and historically we have taped the seams. However, this is time consuming and creates a messy looking box after repeated opening and sealing. Now, we are looking at placing these boxes inside of large plastic bags, and rolling the open end tightly up against itself, then clamping, to create a hopefully insect-proof seal. Is this a technique anyone here is familiar with or perfected? I'd love to hear advice. Is anyone making the bags (sealing their own with heat perhaps) to custom size? Is there a retailer of plastic bags (square bottomed preferred) in various sizes that can be recommended? Any tips or suggestions appreciated. Feel free to reach out directly.
