Where did 13x19 come from?

[Paul Metcalf]

I just purchased some 16x13 sealable sleaves (actually 16.25x13.44) but I'm not aware of any 16x13 boxes so I'd be in the same boat. 15x13 also allows for 6 boards per 32x40 board with a bit more waste though but there is the ability to remove a little from each edge which quite often is the case because of rough handling on the bigger boards, at least in experience.

Paul,

Is this what you have? http://www.clearbags.com/13-7-16-x-1...r-341x413.html

Thomas - no, this one http://www.clearbags.com/13-7-16-x-1...e-341x413.html

You want the adhesive on the body of the bag, not the flap if you plan to reuse the bags because the adhesive on the flap will make it hard to remove/replace the art without it getting stuck to the flap. If no intention to remove/replace artwork then those you posted would be fine.

12 x18 is historically the right aspect ratio for 35 mm on a 16 x20 sheet of silver paper.

I believe the 13 x19 size was to allow for 12 x18 full frame digital prints.
I like the size .

I'm acquainted with Mark Rogers, who owns Frame Destination, here in Dallas. He told me years ago that he formed the company in digital's infancy, because he could not source 13x19 frames.
