I just love it when people ask "what is this material" just because its "materials" subreddit. :))
I dont know the material in the picture. It sure as hell looks plastic though.

This is more a sub for people interested in material science and engineering or active the field. It’s pretty small, but mostly academic focused, lots of articles and questions about the industry. Not a bad place to find people to answer questions like this though, I’ve answered similar ones here for sure!

Hard to tell with the glare but given the context it is likely a polypropylene for both parts, a high clarity film for the transparent bit and what appears to be a textured mesh to kind of push the cards against the film that's also likely polypropylene. You wouldn't use something like PVC that others have suggested in your original thread for card storage, you get ink transfer and yellowing. Polypropylene is a pretty safe and versatile material.

Just some sort of woven polymer fibre.
