Side loader that can close all four sides: top, bottom, left, and right!!

Answer Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Yuji Arimura), a manufacturer of game peripherals and trading card supplies, announces that it will begin selling the "Lidded Four-Sided Side Loader for Regular Cards," which closes all four sides (top, bottom, left, and right), can store official character sleeves, and prevents foil card warping, from late June at the official Answer Store, nationwide electronics retailers, general retailers, specialty stores, and online shops. Pre-orders are also being accepted starting today at the official Answer Store.

Product Details

Four sides are uniform, ideal for display!

This product is a side loader that adopts a structure where all four frames (top, bottom, left, and right) close. By simply placing a sleeved card onto the dedicated lidded storage tray and sliding it in from the side, it can be protected as a hard loader with all four sides uniformly closed.

Unlike typical side loaders where one side remains open, this design prevents cards from falling out and dust from entering. This structure is registered as a utility model in Japan.

The internal size is designed to fit official sleeves (67mm x 92mm), minimizing excess space and reducing rattling during storage.

Furthermore, by inserting the tray, the internal clearance is compressed, which also has the effect of reducing card warping. Since the opening can be closed, it is suitable for protecting collections by preventing cards from popping out during storage, transport, or mailing.

Place the card and slide it in for storage!

Unlike side loaders with one open side, the opening can be closed, preventing cards from popping out during storage, transport, or mailing of the loader.

*Since the lid does not completely seal, if there is a concern about strong impacts or water exposure, please wrap the loader in a transparent bag.

Comparison with other products

Normally, when storing cards in a side loader with one side open, there is a concern about "card slippage" or "dust intrusion." However, this product improves these issues by introducing a structure where a "lidded storage tray" is inserted into the side loader.

Official character sleeves can be stored!

The sleeves that can be stored inside the side loader are perfectly compatible with the size of officially sold sleeves (67mm x 92mm), designed for a snug fit. With less excess space, rattling inside the loader during storage is also reduced.

(When storing, it is recommended to use hard-type sleeves with a thickness of 0.1mm per side)

Prevents foil card warping!

By inserting the tray into the side loader, the internal thickness clearance is compressed, minimizing excess space and designed to reduce the warping of stored cards. This creates an environment suitable for card storage.

(Can store cards and sleeves with a total thickness of up to 1mm)

Insertion order

Remove the lidded storage tray from the side loader, place the sleeved card on the tray. Gently slide the tray into the loader in this state to complete the four-sided closed side loader.
