Maybe it's just a US term. Glassines

Found a supplier that is waiting for an order of 200K of them before the do a
run. Ummm....not gonna happen. But they did direct me to one of their
distributors so an order of 1K is possible.
When you have 20-30 rolls of film to do a week, sliding strips into archival
pages of whatever brand is unappealing time-wise plus the headache of keeping
rolls collated. I put the entire roll into one of these, write the twin check
# on it and I'm done. When proofing, the entire roll comes out, gets proofed
and is put back quickly and easily. Also they are 1/2 the price of archival
pages.
These are good for production situations but not for long term keeping in my
opinion.

Sorry to be even more ignorant than usual, but: what are glassines ?
Here you can still buy large flat "tubes" of clear flexible plasrtic to
put the entire film into. Then you can cut this.
The tube has a slit at the back, you can open the tube from the back to
get the film out, without pulling it lengthwise (which scrtches the film).
Is that any help ?
Love
