About 16"x20" Portfolios & Art Cases

What types of portfolios and art cases are available for 16"x20" artwork?

Three different jobs are covered at this size. For presenting, the binder-style options are built at 17"x22" so 16"x20" work fits with margin: textured hardcover, recycled paperboard, and matte black multiring portfolio books (10 archival pages expandable to 30), the zippered Professional Art Portfolio Case and Premium Zippered Presentation Case, and a Presentation Easel Art Portfolio that opens into an upright tabletop stand. The 17"x22" Lightweight Artist Folio takes a gentler approach — recycled paperboard with elastic securing straps, art-safe internal pockets, and traditional tie closures that are easier on delicate artwork edges than a zipper.

For transporting and protecting, the X-Port 16"x22"x6" Expandable Portfolio carries 16"x20" matted prints with room to spare — top-loading, rigid-sided, expanding to a six-inch gusset. The 16"x20"x2.5" Hard Portfolio Case is a wood-core case with keyed latches whose bottom folds flat so it opens completely, and the 16"x20"x3" Artwork Shipping Case is a foam-lined polyethylene case with metal-reinforced corners built for shipping and storage. Acid-free print sleeves protect loose prints up to 15.5"x20".

And for picture framers, two purpose-built carriers: the 16"x22"x8" Moulding Sample Case, whose interior is lined for hook-and-loop mounting of corner samples and holds up to four insert display boards, and the 16"x22"x8" Rolling Sample Case with built-in inline wheels and a telescoping handle.

Who uses 16"x20" portfolios and art cases?

Photographers working at 16"x20" print scale use the X-Port for client consultations and portrait sessions — its own design brief — while illustrators and designers at standard art-board sizes carry it daily. The 17"x22" books and zippered cases serve anyone presenting 16"x20" work in a binder format, and the artist folio suits artists who want their larger works held by straps and ties rather than zipped against a case wall. The two sample cases serve a different professional entirely: framing and moulding sales reps carrying corner samples and display boards to client consultations.

How do I choose the right 16"x20" portfolio or art case?

Decide first whether the job is presenting, transporting, or protecting. Presenting in a binder: pick among the 17"x22" books by cover, add a zippered case if the portfolio travels with you, or the easel portfolio if it should stand upright at the table; the artist folio is the presentation-and-carry option gentlest on fragile edges. Transporting loose or bulky work: the X-Port's top-loading flap and six-inch gusset take mixed loads — matted prints, boards, work of different thicknesses — and it stands upright on its own while you load. Protecting work in transit or storage: the wood-core Hard Portfolio Case gives keyed-latch rigid protection for daily use, the foam-lined shipping case is built for actual shipping, and the acid-free sleeves store loose prints archivally, displayable from both sides. If you're a framer, skip all of the above — the Moulding Sample Case and Rolling Sample Case are made for your samples, not artwork.
