What are the best products/ways to store flat files? I'm a newbie and would love to hear how the pros store their un-framed posters. TIA

Please reword your question.

some use mylar corners and attach the poster to backer board and then slide them into the bag.
if you are using corners and board, bump up the size of bag. if you arent using them, then the 24 7/16 x 36 1/4 will be fine
also, this could all depend on what the dimensions of your flat file are

I used to just stack them but now I have everything seperated by some kind of protector. Plus I added a dehumidifier in my basement which has made a huge improvement in minimizing the right of ink transfer due to stickiness.Kerrick wrote:Do you guys ever put prints on top of each other with no protection between them?
Been considering doing that on the less expensive prints but I should probably stop being lazy and put some acid free paper between them.
