The reason is obvious – plastic will protect your papers from discoloration, liquid and odor damages.  

 

One of the specialty protectors I came across was from the brand Iris. They make a lot of plastic bins and this is just one of the many I like. The reason I like it is it has a snap down buckle and a handle. So I can take my work portfolio and other paperwork with me where I go. It isn’t too oversized so I can put it the bookshelf when it is not in use and it keeps the corners of my papers and folders from folding and creasing.

 

As I stated before, any plastic bin will work to protect your papers and documents, this one is just a more portable option.
