Learn the correct way to use Horizontal Booklet ONE-TOUCH Resealable Bags to protect your trading cards from scratches and damage during storage or transport.
Quick answer
Place your card in a ONE-TOUCH holder, then slide the holder into a Horizontal Booklet ONE-TOUCH Resealable Bag for a snug, scratch-free fit.
Why use a resealable bag over the holder alone
A ONE-TOUCH holder offers rigid protection, but the clear plastic surface can still pick up micro-scratches from dust or friction against other holders. Adding a resealable bag acts as a soft barrier that keeps the holder pristine and prevents the card from shifting during transport.
These bags are specifically sized for horizontal booklet ONE-TOUCH holders, so they fit without excess material that could crease or bunch. The acid-free, PVC-free material ensures no chemical damage over time.
When to skip the bag
If you display cards in a binder or frame and rarely move them, the bag may add unnecessary bulk. For long-term static storage in a box, the bag is still useful to keep dust off the holder surface.
How to store cards in Horizontal Booklet ONE-TOUCH Resealable Bags
- Insert the card into a ONE-TOUCH holder: Open the ONE-TOUCH holder and place your card face-up in the recess. Close the holder and ensure the magnets or snaps are fully engaged. The holder provides rigid protection against bending and impact. Check that the card sits flat and does not slide around inside the holder before sealing.
- Slide the holder into the resealable bag: Hold the bag open by the zip seal and insert the ONE-TOUCH holder horizontally (the booklet orientation). Gently push the holder all the way to the bottom of the bag so it lies flat. Avoid forcing it if it resists—the bag is designed for a snug fit. Do not fold or crease the bag to make it fit; if the holder does not slide in easily, you may have the wrong bag size.
- Seal the bag and remove excess air: Press the zip seal closed from one end to the other, listening for the click. Gently press the bag flat to push out excess air before fully sealing. This reduces bulk and prevents the bag from puffing up in storage. Leaving too much air inside can cause the bag to bulge and take up extra space in a box or drawer.
- Store the bagged holder in a safe location: Place the sealed holder in a storage box, drawer, or shelf away from direct sunlight and moisture. The bag protects the holder from scratches and dust, but the card itself remains protected by the holder. Stack holders vertically (like books) to avoid weight pressure on the card surface. Do not stack heavy items on top of the bagged holders.
