Abstract: A passepartout for articles, such as photographs, films, pictures or the like, comprises a closable pocket receiving the articles. The passepartout is formed by two layers (2, 3) of a transparent plastic material which are welded together on three (1a, 1b, 1c) of four outer edges for forming an envelope (1). The envelope is divided by at least one further weld seam (4a, 4b) extending parallel to an outer edge into a plurality of pockets (4, 5, 6) and the object (7) is disposed in a first (4) of said pockets while inscription strips (8, 9) are disposed in the other pocket or pockets (5, 6).
