Folio research

Print boxes & Portfolio boxes

The next section of research I have done, is on portfolio presentation options. Namely; print boxes and portfolio boxes. Our tutors suggested print boxes, which is the first area I have investigated.

The website I have looked at to begin my research is Silverprint. It is a well known company that supplies many items for photographers to display and store their work in. The above boxes vary in size and price, the smallest being 5 x 7" for £6.79, and the largest being A2 for £23.29. These boxes don't come in the size I'm thinking of which is 10 x 12", and I want to use this because it is the size of the paper I own and the original size of the prints for my narrative project.

Another option for displaying my portfolio, is a portfolio box. This is much thicker than a print box, and also quite more expensive. But these boxes are likely to last a long time, so will be very worth the price. They do have my preferred size in this box too, so I'm looking to buy one of these I think.

As well as the box, I need sleeves to keep my prints safe while they're inside it. Polyester sleeves are my best bet, and Silverprint sell them at the right size for my box.
