3×5 cello bags for mini prints, photos & small cards
3×5 cello bags are a compact format intended for mini prints, small cards, tags, labels and compact paper goods. The usable internal area is 76 × 127 mm, plus a separate 20 mm self-seal flap. Because a nominal 3×5-inch item is approximately 76.2 mm wide, do not assume an untrimmed 3×5 photo will fit. Measure the actual finished item in millimetres and allow clearance. The bags are made from crystal-clear 40 micron OPP.

SIZE & FIT
3x5 size & fit
The usable internal size is 76 × 127 mm, plus a 20 mm self-seal flap outside the usable area. The 3×5 inch name is approximate, so use the millimetre dimensions when checking fit.
A nominal 3×5-inch item is approximately 76.2 × 127 mm, while the usable bag area is 76 × 127 mm. An untrimmed 3×5 photo may therefore be too wide. Check the actual finished dimensions in millimetres and leave enough clearance to insert the item comfortably.
- Nominal 3×5: about 76.2 × 127 mm — do not assume it fits.
- Best approach: measure the actual item in millimetres.
- Flap: the +20 mm self-seal flap is additional.
3X5 CELLO BAG HELP
3x5 cello bag FAQs
Answers about 3x5 fit, usable dimensions, 40 micron OPP, self-seal closure, retail pack sizes and UK delivery.
Visit the Help CentreWill a 3×5-inch photo fit these bags?
Do not assume it will. A nominal 3×5-inch item is approximately 76.2 × 127 mm, while the usable bag area is 76 × 127 mm. An untrimmed photo may therefore be too wide. Measure the actual item in millimetres before ordering.
Why is the usable width 76 mm?
The published product measurement is the usable internal size of the bag. For this compact format, use the stated 76 × 127 mm dimensions rather than relying on the nominal 3×5 name.
What can I use the 3×5 cello bags for?
They suit mini prints, small cards, tags, labels and other flat paper goods that measure comfortably within the 76 × 127 mm usable area.
Should I choose 5×7 instead if I need more room?
If your item is wider than 76 mm or needs more handling clearance, compare the 5×7 cello bags and check their 138 × 185 mm usable dimensions.
Are these 3×5 cello bags the same as 3×5 cellophane bags?
“Cello bag” and “cellophane bag” are common names for clear presentation bags. These bags are made from 40 micron oriented polypropylene (OPP), rather than cellulose cellophane. Read the material comparison.
What does 40 micron OPP mean?
40 micron refers to the film thickness: 0.04 mm. OPP means oriented polypropylene, the clear film specification used across the CelloBag range. Learn more about 40 micron OPP.
How does the self-seal / peel & seal closure work?
The flap has an adhesive strip protected by a removable backing. Peel away the backing, fold the flap over and press to seal. No separate tape is needed.
Can I buy 100 or 200 3x5 cello bags?
Yes. 3x5 is available in dedicated 100 Pack and 200 Pack options. Select the pack size at the top of the page before adding to basket.
