Ambasador Two-Pocket Pages 38×25 cm – MasterPhil – Pack of 5

The Ambasador two-pocket pages are MasterPhil’s solution for collectors who want to store and browse folded newspapers, magazines, official decrees and large-format documents in a neat, transparent binder.

❓ How to store newspapers and posters in your collection

How do you stop old newspapers and magazines from yellowing?

Yellowing is caused by light, humidity and the inherent quality of the original paper: no binder can reverse the process, but you can slow it down considerably. Keep newspapers away from direct light and damp environments, and always handle them with clean hands. Slipping them into transparent pockets such as those on the MasterPhil Ambasador pages protects them from dust and abrasion, so you never need to handle the items directly during browsing.

How do you store posters, bills and large-format documents?

Posters and bills suffer most from creases and dog-eared corners. If a document folds neatly in half, it fits comfortably into a 38×25 cm pocket like the ones on these Ambasador pages; for full-size formats, the range also includes the single full-pocket page measuring 38×50.5 cm (art. 285/B1). In either case, storing the binder upright inside the Ambasador slipcase gives the edges extra protection.

How do you store Italian telephone tokens without damaging them?

Italian telephone tokens are small but susceptible to knocks, scratches and surface oxidation. Ideally they should be housed in firm pockets that prevent direct contact between individual pieces. If you also collect period newspapers or magazines relating to the history of the public telephone, the Ambasador two-pocket pages let you file the paper documents alongside your other material in one well-organised binder.

How do you catalogue a newspaper or document collection by date or series?

Attaching a visible label to each spine edge — showing the year, publication title or subject — makes browsing straightforward without having to leaf through the entire binder. The Ambasador two-pocket pages lend themselves naturally to this kind of arrangement: one document per pocket, with the option of mixing in full-pocket pages for larger formats within the same binder cover.

✨ Ambasador – Two-Pocket Pages 38×25 cm (Pack of 5)

Each page in this pack is divided into two independent pockets measuring 38×25 cm, each with a top opening. This format is designed for anything that is already folded in half or has naturally similar proportions: a folded newspaper, a magazine, an official decree or a large administrative document. The two pockets let you display two items side by side on the same page, keeping both visible without removing anything from the binder.

The material is K211, plasticiser-free and extra thick: the pockets hold their shape even with a rigid document inside and do not stick together during use. The top opening keeps contents securely in place even when the binder is stored upright.

This pack contains 5 pages. The Ambasador binder cover (art. 285), slipcase (art. 285/C) and full-pocket pages (art. 285/B1) are separate items and must be purchased individually. Within the same binder cover you can mix two-pocket pages and full-pocket pages to suit the different formats in your collection.

❓ Questions about this product

What exactly does this pack contain?

The pack includes 5 transparent two-pocket pages, each measuring 38×25 cm with a top opening. The Ambasador binder cover and slipcase are not included: they are separate items in the same MasterPhil range and must be purchased individually (binder cover art. 285, slipcase art. 285/C).

What is the difference between pages 285/B2 and pages 285/B1?

Pages 285/B1 have a single full-size pocket measuring 38×50.5 cm, suited to newspapers or posters in their open format. Pages 285/B2 have two pockets measuring 38×25 cm, better suited to folded newspapers, magazines or half-size documents. Both fit the same Ambasador binder cover and can be combined within the same binder.

Do these pages work with binders from other brands or in different formats?

The Ambasador pages are designed by MasterPhil for the Ambasador binder cover (art. 285), which measures 42.5×53 cm with a 6 cm spine. We do not have information on compatibility with binders from other manufacturers or in different formats.
