Poster Storage

[Grimtale]

Now that you guys/gals have me collecting a few posters could you help me with proper storage techniques.

I've got plenty of basement storage space that is humidity controlled with a/c and heat. It's more around
how do I store them. Laying flat? On top of each other? In something to protect them? Rolled in a tube?

I ran out of wall space a long time ago as my wife loves to put out pictures of our three children leaving no
room for me to hang stuff like w/s posters So I'll be forced to store some of them until my kids move out
and go away to college in a few years when I can then turn our dating/tv room into a collection room for me.

Just looking for some help from all you experts, I'm sure you know way more than me about this stuff.

This is what I use and I think a few others on here have bought one as well...7th son and anonymousbrunette I believe. I like it a lot, but it's always good to get second opinions.

If you want a case/portfolio, check out these two options. I've heard good things on both. Mine is the first one, 24"x36".

Second Opinion: I love these portfolios. Gawk at your posters in complete safety. The sleeves are drool & margarita resistant. I'd recommend a large one and something smaller for handbills, etc.

Sign up for the Art Supply Warehouse mailing list and get discounts by e-mail. I've gotten two 20 - 25% off coupons in the last two weeks - they last 24 to 48 hours. If you find the portfolios somewhere cheaper online, send them the link and they'll send you a code for $10 off your order (see their home page.) Lastly, you'll find a hard time beating the flat $6.95 shipping charge for something so large.

I just realized that those are my posters pictured in the portfolio! (If I'm not mistaken.)

Thanks again Matt. They are in a good home

Grim, I'm in agreement with these fine folks, this portfolio is really top quality stuff. Just make sure you get one of those sales to save yourself a few bucks.

Any European fellow found any sites selling these lovely portofolios?

I usually buy portfolio's A1 and sleeves from UK seller via ebay.co.uk. His name is "Myriorama".

Do the sleeves meet the safety standards? Acid free etc?
Do they smell bad? (Well sorry to ask but I have bought some mylar kind of thing accessories for my collection and some had a bad smell of plastic)

The portfolio with rings is really perfect - hard, solid, without smell. They have archival sleeves - acid free, crystal clear, no smell. One portfolio can keep 25-30 sleeves. If you want I can send you some photos of mine
