Lighthouse VARIO sheets

LIGHTHOUSE VARIO sheets are the brand trusted by experienced collectors all over the world. Why? • VARIO sheets are as versatile as no other system and they come in 18 different variations. Whether you have multiple stamp sizes, souvenir sheets, booklets, coil stamps or FDCs- there is a VARIO sheet that fits just right. Also suitable for postcards, banknotes, phone cards, hotel room key cards, casino slot cards and whatever the collector's heart desires. • Black VARIO pages are double-sided with crystal clear pockets or strips on either side for plenty of space. Clear VARIO pages are one-sided so that the item can be viewed from both sides. Black interleaves provide an ideal back drop or serve to separate chapters. • Different sheets can be mixed and matched to create an album that suits your needs. • Black pages are made of Hard PVC; clear pages of polyester. Both are 100% acid- and chemical softener-free, and have been chosen by experienced collectors time and again. • VARIO pages are made in Germany and have been for many years.

    • Vario Sheets/Pages: The core component of the system. These are clear or black sheets with various pocket configurations to hold different sized collectibles. There are five sheets in a package.
    • Vario Professional Packs: There are 25 sheets in a package.
    • Vario S: Refers to double-sided pages with a black background. Items can be inserted into clear pockets on both the front and back of the page for maximum capacity.
    • Vario C: Refers to single-sided pages that are completely clear (transparent). These are often used with black interleaves to separate contents visually.
    • Vario Plus: An extra-strong, stiffer version of the standard Vario S pages, designed for added durability.
    • Vario ZWL / Interleaves: These are separate black or white sheets of paper inserted between clear pages (Vario C) to provide a solid background and prevent items from touching on adjacent pages.
    • Vario Binders: The pages are pre-punched to fit specific Lighthouse Vario binders (such as Vario F, G, or Classic), which use either a 3 or 4-ring mechanism. The pages are also compatible with most standard 3- or 4-ring binders.
