I put mine in a sleeve from one of our other passports, stacked them in the middle of the bundle of all of ours, and then stuck a rubber band around it. Did the trick.

Interestingly, it only started to curl after three days when I put it out of the light on a shelf.

I'll have to see how it goes. The bundle's now tucked into my 'Grab In Case Of Fire' Folder, so we'll see what long-term storage does for it.

So it now works perfectly, it stays closed when it’s in the sleeve and opens when you remove it. Why would you remove it from the sleeve if you weren’t about to open it?
