Encapsulation

I am in the process of encapsulating several manuscripts dating from
the 12th and 13th centuries.  A few have cotton ties attached to
the manuscripts. And, the ties have ceramic disc-shaped tokens
attached to them.  The ceramic tokens make encapsulation difficult
since they are so bulky.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Would
you leave the ties hanging out?
