These handle a lot better than the PrintFile ones. Tradeoff is that you need 8-1/2 x 11 paper for contact prints. They are not cheap, but they do not snag, either. But Printfile does make sheets that hold the contact prints. I use them for 120 film. But then, 35mm contact prints are of limited value anyway - have you tried scanning the sheets on a flatbed (with appropriate adapter)?
