Product: Dick Blick Metal Edge Archival Clamshell Box 22''x30''x2''
Purpose: print storage
Price: $16.28

Great box for storing prints and large enough for most prints. Acid free, which is a plus. I currently have about 20 prints stored between acid free paper, and I think you could easily store double that number in it. Not very expersive either. I used the cardboard box that it came in and cut out a 22''x30'' piece to use as a press in the box when flattening posters to put books on. The gray box is also a good background on which to take pictures of your prints.

Grade: A

Thanks. This could be handy. What I really would prefer is an inexpensive portfolios that were this size. Aside from mylar sleeves, how do most people store larger prints?

My girlfriend just picked me up an acid free 24x36 portolio. It has no sleeves, but I already own poly bags this size (actually a little bigger) so I plan to store them inside - should not be a problem. I'll give feedback when I have time to set that up...

Sounds good. If you do like the way it all works out, could you post some pics and specs on it too? Thanks.
