Non-glare polypropylene can also be incorporated into archival enclosures that double as display enclosures. This is a very useful combination enclosure, especially for classroom demonstration materials, not to mention the more universal situation of table-top research use of multiple items. The non-glare feature prevents the distracting reflections of overhead lighting and greatly eases examination of the document without requiring removal of the item or lifting of the protective film.
