I saw a recommendation for these online from one of the most highly-rated cardmaking crafters on You Tube. I have a lot of cardmaking stamps and dies, and wanted to organize them. And especially -- for the stamps -- to keep them dust-free. The quality of these are great -- I cut some white cardstock to fit inside the sleeves -- so it would show more clearly the stamps inside. You can also put any dies that coordinate with your stamps on the other side of the cardstock. And I've recently removed the rubber stamp images from my wood-mounted stamps and am going to use them on acrylic blocks. I stamped those images on white cardstock and mounted the rubber stamps on EZ mount cling sheets, and put them into these envelopes as well. Better organization, the stamps are kept cleaner, and the space needed to store them is SO much less. And the quality of these is great -- not flimsy plastic. Sturdy, with a flap to tuck in when your stamps/dies are inside, and strong enough that they won't tear with normal use.
These are fairly sturdy and do a good job holding my clear stamps, they're a tight fit for my foam backed rubber stamps. And, they tend to rip at the seams if you're not careful when you remove the stamps from the pockets.
You can never go wrong with Avery Elle storage pockets. Always a good product and a great way to store stamps and dies.
I don't know if this is a knock off product or not. There were a few things that made me suspicious. The Avery Elle envelopes I've purchased in the past have the following measurements right on the envelope: 5 5/8" x 7 3/8", these had 5 1/2" x 7 3/8" on the envelope. I compared one of these to one of my older ones and they were the exact same size. Also, the ones I already had on hand had a cardboard insert over the top, this one didn't. I don't know if another company is using their logo, name etc. and selling these as "dupes" or if they really are made by Avery Elle. This set of pockets seems slightly thinner, but not by that much. They seem to work just fine. I am hoping the quality is the same, ie. they will be durable and long lasting as I take stamps and magnetic die sheets in and out of them.
They worked perfectly, pairing with magnetic sheets. There is plenty of room to add the magnetic sheet, a set of cutting Dies and a set of rubber stamps on the back side. When storing stamps only, I just add a piece of cardstock cut to fit for stability. There’s a flap at the top that could be folded over. I leave them standing up so I can add a label, helping me to find what I’m looking for more easily.

Description
Avery Elle- Stamp & Die Storage Pockets: Large. These are perfect for storing all of your stamps and dies. This package contains fifty 8-1/2x5-1/2 inch clear stamp and die storage pockets. Imported.
These are great but sometimes hard to get as they run out of stock fast. Check out Jennifer McQuire's youtube channel for great organizing using these bags.
The package arrived are very fast two days before is estimated date. I love the storage envelope for my scrapbooking dies. With cutting a sheet of magnet to fit the inside the envelope it serves well to keep my dies in. The envelope is clear being able to see the dies placed on the magnet.This is my 2nd set of envelopes I have purchased thus so far.
My unmounted stamps are now well organized and on my shelf. These clear packets are
light and thin, yet very strong. With white cardstock as a background, I can easily see what I have.
Nice pockets for storage. I use them to store dies and stamps, it saves me tons of space and it’s easy cleanup. I can place the items inside and lose them. I do use cut paper inside with a label to keep me organized and this allows me to see what’s inside better with a white backfound. I also cut a magnetic piece to keep my dies together.
Great pockets for storing dies and clear stamps in.
