18"x24" Portfolios & Art Cases

18"x24" is, as the X-Port's own description puts it, the standard for a huge range of prints, drawings, and presentation formats — so this page serves three audiences at once. Photographers, designers, and architects with smaller drawing sets present from the books and zippered cases; artists preparing gallery submissions carry loose and mounted work in the X-Port; and artists and shops that sell prints use the sleeve-and-rack system, where customers flip through sleeved prints on a rack the way they'd browse records.

Match the product to the job. Presenting a curated set: a multiring book for desk presentations, a zippered case when it travels, the leather case when the meeting warrants it, or the easel binder when the work should stand on its own. Moving loose, mounted, or mixed-thickness work: the X-Port 20"x26" — top-loading, self-standing, six-inch gusset — is the purpose-built carrier at this size. Selling or storing prints: sleeve them acid-free (the 20"x26" sleeve is the one sized to give an 18"x24" print breathing room; the 18"x24" sleeve fits work up to 17.5"x24") and choose a rack by floor space — table-top for a counter, single or double floor rack for a shop or fair booth. Sleeves display from both sides, so a rack of them works as browsing inventory, not just storage.
