I'm looking for a Print Storage Portfolio at least 24 x 36 to flat store my new started collection.

I need a brand that deliver in EU for a fair price. Quality first. I don't mind to pay some extra but I want to store my print in perfect conditions.

Can you told me a good brand? / What do you use?

Thanks

you might wait a bit if there aren't any in stock, but these are top notch. don't forget to buy some extra sleeves too

This are really expensive compare to Amazon 20$. I can buy it if they are worth it but is there really much difference? Do you use them?

yes I use them.

it’s acid free and if you can’t fit a flat file, it’s a great option to hide under a bed, couch, etc.

The Amazon ones aren't portfolios with pages though - you're comparing something with an interior like this (from an Amazon 24x36 portfolio listing):

to a portfolio like Baroque, which holds pages that you can store prints in individually:

Thanks for the answers! Looks like Baroque is the best option.
