To be serious about storing Horkey prints, you need a bigger FF.....or a big print box under the bed

I got 3 really long pieces of acid free foam core from Michael's and make a club sandwich out of them and the prints. Then hold the thing together with binder clips. Works great as long as you have a safe place to store it. I've stored mine both vertically and flat, depending on the space I had at the time.

I got a 41" by 28" print box from Bags Unlimited for all of my oversized prints - works like a charm and it was less than $20 shipping included.

The cardboard one may cause discoloration over long periods. You may consider foam core + binder clips for long-term.

Looking back to this thread. Don't really wanna use the foam boards just because the display of having giant foam boards is ugly.. And these boxes aren't good because of discoloration.

What are my options?


Buy the box and put the foam inside?

Or...

Bags Unlimited also has acid free movie poster sleeves with archival backing that will fit inside the box.
That what I'm using. One print on each side of the sleeve. Pricey, but solid. :pint:
