[PADG:1359] Re: seeking LARGE L-sleeves

[Shannon Zachary <szachary@xxxxxxxxx>]

Lisa, a number of the vendors will make special sizes of Mylar sleeves 
like this to order. Contact the company and ask for a quote. I've 
generally found the prices not out of line with the standard-size 
products--and usually cheaper than the costs of trying to make them 
in-house.

The largest L-sleeves I can find in the catalogs of "the usual suspects" are 38"x50". Have any of you found larger sizes from a U.S. vendor? All referrals (and replies from vendors) gratefully appreciated.
