Just got a new conditioned 97 SVX brochure.

I have to figure out a way to preserve it.

Plastic

Go to your local comic book store, and get a bag that is made for comics, and put the brochure in it.

Some of the brochures are oversize. For my pristine duplicates, I just take them to Staples or Kinko's and have them shrink-wrapped. About .50 each.

I suspect you'd be much better off putting them into archival-quality sleeves. The chemicals in that shrink-wrap material will surely do more harm than good over the long term.

I have since bought archival shrink wrap and taken it to Staples to heat seal the edges. I then use my own heat gun to carefully shrink it, just enough where it is smooth and not too tight.
