Utilizing specialized internal covers alongside standard outer sleeves is a proven method for preventing expensive edge whitening.

From tight Precise Fit Inner Sleeves designed for a glove-like first layer to high-clarity Standard Card Sleeves built for reliable outer deck protection, this lineup delivers specialized choices for active card decks.

Precise Fit Inner Sleeves: The Foundation for Double-Sleeving

Frequently Asked Questions About Deck & Inner Protection
Do your inner card protectors fit standard size games like Pokémon and MTG?
Yes. Our Precise Fit Inner Sleeves measure exactly 64mm x 89mm, making them perfectly sized to fit standard 2.5" x 3.5" trading cards smoothly without pinching borders or warping your card corners.
What is the benefit of using an inner sleeve layout?
An inner sleeve shields the card face directly from dust particles and environmental factors. When used as a primary layer inside an outer standard sleeve (double-sleeving), it forms an airtight seal that acts as a comprehensive barrier against moisture and accidental spills.
Are these clear deck protectors safe for archival long-term storage?
Yes. Our Standard Card Sleeves and Precise Fit Inner Sleeves are manufactured from 100% archival-safe, acid-free polypropylene. They contain no chemical additives that cause material clouding or ink transfer over long periods.
How many sleeves are included in each pack?
Our Standard Card Sleeves and Precise Fit Inner Sleeves are packaged in uniform, high-value 100-count packs to supply a full active gaming setup or competitive deck with plenty of spares.
