Why would I need a four-flap enclosure?
- Four-flap enclosures provide even pressure across the item, minimize handling, protect the object from light and dust, and can be stored upright or lying down. If an item has loose pieces or pages, the four-flap enclosure will keep everything together until the item can be repaired.

What size items can be stored in a four-flap enclosure?
- Four-flap enclosures are ideal for flat or thin objects up to 3/4" thick.
