Hi EBers,

I am a new collector and I am in search of a storage method as I won't be able to frame all my prints/pieces at once.

I was wondering how many of you guys and girls use an A1 portfolio with plastic sleeves, something like to two item/s below?

eBay 280406799579
eBay 280656500403

Bearing in mind I am limited of space and would much prefer a flat file but there isn't any available where I live.

Thanks,
Meng

Just realised that some of my prints are slightly bigger than A1, looks like I need to go with the foamboard and glassine paper method, unless if anyone know where to get A0 portfolio and sleeves? Tried looking but doesn't seem to be many around...

sounds like the OP is international. probably not going to be an option.

Yeh I am located in UK, finding it difficult to find decent value for money portfolio and acid free sleeves.

In regards to poster sleeves (poly), bagsunlimited has a suitable size for my prints at 30x42” which im looking to purchase. It comes in 2mil or 4mil thick. Can anybody recommend a thickness? I assume the 4mil is better but it also costs more. Worth the extra coin?
