Learn the correct order and technique to double sleeve your TCG cards using the Prime Double Sleeving Pack 100, including common mistakes to avoid.

Quick answer

To double sleeve your cards with the Prime Double Sleeving Pack 100, first slide the card into the inner sleeve upside down, then insert that sleeved card into the Prime outer sleeve right side up, pushing out trapped air as you go.

Why double sleeving matters

Double sleeving adds a second layer of protection against spills, dust, and wear, which is especially important for high-value cards or Commander decks. The Prime Double Sleeving Pack 100 includes both inner and outer sleeves that are designed to fit together snugly, making the process straightforward.

Common mistakes to avoid

A frequent error is inserting the card into the outer sleeve first, which makes it nearly impossible to add the inner sleeve later. Another is forcing the card into the inner sleeve with the opening at the bottom, which can damage the card edge. Take your time and follow the steps below.

Step-by-step double sleeving guide

Step 1: Insert card into inner sleeve upside down: Hold the inner sleeve with the open end facing downward. Slide the card into the sleeve with the top of the card pointing down, so the card is upside down relative to the sleeve opening. Common mistake: inserting the card right side up leaves the open end at the top, allowing debris to enter. Always insert upside down.
Step 2: Slide the inner-sleeved card into the Prime outer sleeve right side up: Now hold the Prime outer sleeve with the open end facing upward. Insert the card (still in the inner sleeve) with the card's top pointing up, so the card is right side up relative to the outer sleeve opening. The inner sleeve's open end will be at the bottom, sealed by the outer sleeve. Checkpoint: the inner sleeve should be fully inside the outer sleeve, with no gap at the bottom. If the inner sleeve peeks out, you inserted it in the wrong orientation.
Step 3: Remove trapped air: Gently press the sleeved card against a flat surface, starting from the bottom and sliding your thumb upward toward the top. This pushes any air bubbles out of the sleeve. Repeat a few times until the card lies flat. Common mistake: skipping this step leaves visible air pockets that can cause the sleeve to bulge and make shuffling difficult. Take a few seconds to smooth it out.
