Seals were used to seal historical documents of great importance, such as a countries constitution, but also ancient books and historical boxes and packagings, to guarantee the authenticity of the official documents they contained and protect them from being opened by unauthorised persons or their contents being falsified. Weakened by the past centuries they have witnessed and to the historical events to which they were exposed, they indeed deserve special care and attention to preserve them for future generations.
Discover our range of protective seal bags for pendant and hanging seals. When consulting historical documents, hanging seals inevitably suffer damage when handled. Developed by qualified conservators, our seal coverings provide maximum protection against damages caused by pressure implementation, due to wear and tear, scratches, dirt and other kinds of impurities.

KLUG seal sprotective bags are complemented by our range of attachments for appendix seals. Mounting corners, circles and circle segments (made from archival board) are often used to mount documents with appendix seals. They are glued flat or offset one on top of the other. This makes it possible to protect loose and hanging seals attached to documents without haveing to touch them. Read more here.
