Hello, we are trying to strengthen the clear paper made of cellophane - types 165 (uncoated and thinner) and 180 (coated to increase impermeability and thicker). We want to keep it flexible and foldable, while preventing ripping. We also want it transparent.

These are our initial findings in the PDF but we would like additional comments and feedback to help guide us.

We are not experts, so we need your help.

Thank you!

P. S. Is there any other archival material(s) (we recently found out that cellophane is not archival) that is pliable/foldable, resistant to tearing, and transparent?

Define "archival material".

For storing old postcards (and other paper memorabilia) mylar envelopes are often used.

P. S. We did not synthesize the material. Therefore, we do have control over goes in and cannot subtract materials.
