Ok, not 24x36 question but does anyone have a suggestion as to an 18x24 portfolio that has a little extra room? I have a couple where the prints don't quite fit.
you could get a 24x36 and have a "little" extra room. and by a little I mean a lot.

:D That is what I use for anything over 18x24 and under 24x36. I wish I could find a 19x25.

Surprised there isnt a 20X26 size to catch all of those in between print sizes. I have lots of 19x25 prints as well. Or prints that are just over 18x24 that dont fit in the Itoya

I bought my Baroque Portfolio (24x36) a couple years ago and just took it out of the shipping package earlier today. Slipped a few posters into the sleeves and I love the tight fit. However I also ordered a few packs of extra sleeves and they were not readymade to be quickly attached to the portfolio binder. Are we suppose to make our own holes for them? Just curious if anybody bought extra sleeves and what their experience was.

Anyone recently buy new portfolios for 18x24 and 24x36? I'm currently using Itoya and have read about some portfolios that have sleeves with wiggle room and so the prints aren't right at the top of the page. I'd love to find something like this. I noticed the artvault.co is not in stock for 24x36.
All help greatly appreciated!

https://www.baroqueportfolios.com/ is the best bet. you'll wait a bit but worth it. especially with the BNG crew handling orders, you are in good hands.

not even sure Art Vault is around anymore, but they had some production problems at the beginning with the portfolios not closing and the sleeves being too small. also recently saw some complaints of prints having a weird film on them... might have been due to the sleeves being used not being archival? not 100% sure.

Thank you very much for this information! This is a big help. Do you have any recommendations for smaller sized print collections including mini prints and handbills? I'm assuming it's probably going to be something resembling an office supply binder, but I'd like to make sure I use proper sleeves and protection.

small ones I'm not too familiar with as most of my small stuff is framed or tossed in a flat file drawer...

but I believe there are mini portfolios for sale on Amazon for things such as that.

just have to be careful and make sure they are "archival" or you run the risk of potential damage down the road.

I have a 13x19 itoya for letterpresses and it seems nicer than the larger ones I have

I actually just received a 13x19 Itoya yesterday to only find out I need something to cover 14x20 prints I have; my 18x24 is too large for those and I'd rather fill with 18x24 pieces. In the end, I think I am going to end up with probably 4-5 different books to accommodate everything, but I'll at least be comfortable with how everything is stored at that point.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations!

Oh my goodness, thank you for replying back with a clear answer. I checked my receipt from the original purchase and it says that I bought storage sleeves. Looks like I gotta hit up their store for the refills. Again, thank you so much for the reply. This was a tremendous help. Can't blame anybody else but myself for making that mistake.
