Hi, I have been looking for something to keep my larger A3 & A3+ prints in , prefer some kind of album structure but all I can find is the 6x4 sized ones.
Only for personal use so nothing fancy.
Thanks for any advice, Russ.

This perhaps is a starting point?


PS not from personal experience at as large as A3+ though I have paper that size but yet to print that large ;)

You are welcome and I look forward to learning what you chose and how you got on with it :)
 
Folders, portfolios, cases - are you bothered what they're made of, because some are more plasticky than others. I use card portfolio folders with flaps & tape ties. If you're getting serious, look at a used drawing office plan chest, with large format shallow drawers.

Not that I'm 'serious', but I use an Ikea "Alex" drawer set. They do a small one and a large (wide) one. The wide one takes A2 prints perfectly and I store all my prints in the top drawer.
 
Now that's a good idea. I just put the one's I like in frames and store them in piles around the house! Gonna have to check in that!

Hi, just bought cheap from Amazon (

eco-eco A3 Size 50% Recycled 20 Pocket Black Presentation Display Book, Storage Case Portfolio Art Folder with Plastic Sleeves)​

£7.25.
Not the best at that price but will keep all images in one place.
Russ.

My better work goes in acid free A3 sleeves and an A3 ring binder. My collection of prints kind of outgrew the West Design Course Books I used to use that I bought from Rymans and Hobbycraft, so I just use the latter now to slip a dozen or so prints in if I’m going somewhere to show a sample of my work.

Other stuff I print, I keep in Seawhite A3 archival boxes https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/seawhite-archival-box-a3/6348881000.html

As for A3+ - good luck with that. I bought a box of A3+ paper once and quickly realised the folly of my ways as no-one seemed to produce storage media for that size. That may have changed by now as this was a few years back.
