Anyone got any suggestions of where best to get premium quality A3 portfolio cases? I'm looking for online stores, by the way.

Ta!

Nope, but any good art/design store should stock some portfolio cases and photo boxes... write down the manufacturers name of the one you like and order it directly from them (Google it) for a discount.

Cheers guys, ordered the PRAT Siva "Classic" Press Book last night, £55 incl delivery.

That's the one I've got

Looking for a change of scenery Jack?

Dusteh · 08-05-2008, 11:47

Damn I need one of those as well. Got a meeting in London tomorrow, think I'll pick one up.

jack · 08-05-2008, 18:56

Na, nothing like that Sean, just a handy thing to have!

For anyone searching in the future...

I bought an agency range folio. Sleeves bolt together.

£40

Simple, no fuss, nice glossy sleeves.

ATLANTIS ART MATERIALS

I got the buckram folio.

p.s. Never go for fake leather.

JonoMarshall · 09-05-2008, 05:36

I'd avoid sleeves personally... a nice photo/portfolio box with various A3 boards inside - all tab cut for easy access to the different projects, etc.

Mitch · 09-05-2008, 05:41

So Jono did you get yours sorted?

Any pictures?

allgiggles1984 · 09-05-2008, 05:44

You might want to get a portfolio box. Its better. That way, the interviewer cant flick through your portfolio and have to look at every piece hehe.

Don't they dog eared after a few flicks?

CharmingMan · 09-05-2008, 05:53

I got a pina zangaro screwpost folio

It has a semi-opaque perspex front and brushed aluminium hinges.

I had an patrick bateman moment when I first saw it.

One think to remember though folks, it doesn't flod flat - which is super gay

and also not sure whether the pockets are based on american sizing but the a3 pockets are in fact not a3 slightly smaller so sheets require trimming.

That said, it looks the bollocks and u got alot of oohs and ahhhs when you show it about

Pina Zangaro

Yeah all sorted, bough a Canon ix4000 A3 printer (the ColorSync between a Dell 2407wfp and it using OS X is awesome), printed everything on high quality A3 matte stock which was mounted on US imported 100% cotton board (a picture framer mate picked this up for me for free). Everything then slides into a portfolio box. (I wanted a vertical one for tabbed access, but couldn't find anything in the 24 hours I had to sort everything, ah well.)

No pictures as yet, my camera's broken, joy.

Where do you put samples, with the book folios?

CharmingMan · 09-05-2008, 06:12

^^^^

If you have a modular folio you can buy whats known as hinge strips or hinged pages where by you attch the brochure or folding item with and adhesive strip which allows you to fold up and out ur printing samples -easy
