Art Prints Packaging, but Live Customers too!?! | Selling

I sell a lot of art, prints, ephemera, paper, OR at least I would like to.... My business is selling rare books, and a few prints or paper items, here and there; however, I have thousands more, ready to go (almost), and currently unlisted. My problem is that I have been buying plastic sleeves in packs of 100 (think comic book protectors) but the large sizes (over 20") are so expensive, and when you factor in a large mat board, and sometimes a mat frame it really adds up fast, and as a result I only end up packaging small batches--instead of knocking out the 5,000+ pieces as one huge project. I need to protect them, as my shop is not exclusively online, and I get many people going through my prints and paper, but since I have all these unprotected ones, I just don't show them. I know there has to be a more cost effective solution out there!? Maybe someone knows a wholesale option, or a different method all together? I'd love to hear any and all solutions--no idea is a bad idea! ðŸ˜„ This is not a shipping issue/question. Only protection for display and handling.
