PrintFile's website states that the PrintFile 35-7BXW Negative Pages (package of 100) has a 3 mil (76.2 µm) top sheet and a 1.8 mil (45.72 µm) bottom sheet, so the thickness of the whole file is 4.8 mil (121.92 µm).

A: Unfortunately, the ClearFile Archival Plus Negative Page does not have a place to label the page. If you need to label the negative page, I would instead recommend the Print File Archival Storage Page for Negatives, 35mm, 7-Strips of 5-Frames (Binder Only) - 100 Pack, B&H # PR3575100, which does have a strip on the top of the negative sleeve page designed for you to label the page.
