Ha anyone ordered multiple baroque portfolios? Are they stackable or does one need to build like a giant magazine rack for them? I am interested in switching out of flat files and going to portfolios but haven't seemed to find anyone's advice on owning mult portfolios and how they store them

They're pretty stackable. I have the 24x36 and 18x24 and a 13x19 (made by someone else).

The Baroque ones are very nice, the outside isn't hard plastic. They have a nice soft touch to them like there's foam under it.

My 24x36 one I have around 80+ prints in so it's like a giant 50 pound magazine that I store atop of the thick foam packing they send with the portfolio. It slides nicely underneath a piece of furniture.

Basically there's no reason you can't stack them IMO. I highly recommend the Baroque portfolios.

Their order time is weird. I think it means they will ship it April (or May if they're busy),

Last one I bought one it took I think an extra month to receive it. I believe they get very very busy with the influx of orders.

You'll be happy with it.
Its honestly customs + ports. Want to say for the last 6 month it's hasn't been the best. Usually tacks on another month or two.
It's been over a year I think since I got my 18x24 portfolio, shipping wasn't bad. When I got the 24x36 shipping was on point. You all even hooked up up when some sleeves came partially torn from the rings. Great portfolios :pint:

Okay. Thanks for your reply! I haven't received a shipping notice yet, but no worries, I'll be patient. :D
I've seen a lot of positive reviews about this portfolio. I look forward to getting it (and the refill sleeve sizes I ordered too)! :D

Hi.

Do people with Baroque portfolios use any kind of backing board in the sleeves? Is it needed?

I tried searching the topic but didn't get any good results and Im old and tired and I gave up.

I was looking on the Baroque Portfolio site and now they don't ship outside the USA. I was thinking about getting the 18x24 portfolio.

Does anyone know if there are any that are similar to this that I could get in the UK, preferably with the ring binder as I already have the sleeves? Thanks in advanced for any recommendations.

With the Baroque portfolios, any issues with the corners hitting the sides/zipper? Is there proper spacing to avoid accidental corner denting?

Thanks!

With my 24x36 portfolio it’s fine there is sufficient space. I just use it to store my prints, I would recommend it if you are looking to get one. Also I had posted a discount code on the forum somewhere it might even be earlier im this thread too

Thanks, darkninja1985 ! I could not find the discount code you are referring to, could you post it here or pm me.

Thanks again!
