Scrapbook.com vs Amazon plastic storage sleeves

I haven't tried the Scrapbook branded ones, but I have the Avery Elle ones and the cheaper "CheckOut Store" version from Amazon.

I think the COS brand is comparable to AE. Although AE is slightly thicker. I rarely need to replace a pocket because of wear or tear.

If you want PM me your address and I can send you a sample of each to see.

I have a strange variety of storage pockets: Avery Elle, Simon Says Stamp, Gina K, Amazon, and Hero Arts. I think they are all different sizes. Actually, I also have some of the Altenew "no hassle" storage pouches, but I don't use them because I find them to be a big hassle, actually.

All the others I like fine. They are all at least slightly different sizes and I use them all for different things. The Amazon ones I have are a little thinner and less sturdy than all the others. I think the Avery Elle and Gina K might be a little sturdier than the SSS. The Hero Arts are very sturdy, stiffer plastic with magnet sheets for dies, so very special-purpose compared to the others.

Are you referencing these Scrapbook.com envelopes? If so, these are VERY thick & sturdy, not at all like the plastic sleeves.

I wondered the same thing, as all the stuff I listed I (mostly) use for stamps, stencils, and dies.

It also make me realize that I do have one or two of the SB.C pockets, because sometimes they're the free gift with purchase. They are very nice, similar to the Hero Arts offering in heft and sturdiness.

And I was doing some crafting and realized that I'm not sure my smallest pockets are any of the brands I listed....

For paper storage, go with the thickest you can find in envelope form. The Amazon ones are more pliable and great storage for items that aren't as thick. They will hold maybe 12-20 papers though.
