About 24"x36" Portfolios & Art Cases

What types of cases and carriers are available for 24"x36" artwork?

24"x36" work can travel flat or rolled, and there's a case for each. Flat: the X-Port 25"x37"x6" Expandable Portfolio — it ships folded flat to avoid oversized-freight charges and sets up in minutes by sliding standard 24"x36" foam boards (not included) into its side-wall lining compartments, after which it stands rigid on its own; carrying rigid materials near full case size, it works without stiffeners at all. Two vertically spaced front handles let you carry with the bottom elevated at whatever height clears the ground, and end-panel zippers convert it to clamshell mode, opening the whole front for flat loading or flipping through prints in place. Also flat: the 25"x37"x3" hard-sided shipping case — foam-lined polyethylene with metal-reinforced corners, fitting work up to 25.25"x37.25"x3.5". Rolled: the 6"x37" and 8"x37" Art & Poster Tubes, each a rigid paperboard liner wrapped in water-repellant 600-denier polyester, with a zippered end opening, detachable shoulder strap, and a window for a shipping label — sturdy enough to ship or check through as luggage.

Who uses 24"x36" art cases and tubes?

24"x36" is one of the most common large-format print sizes, which makes the X-Port 25"x37" the go-to for architects, engineers, and large-format photographers, and a good fit for trade show professionals carrying foam boards and presentation panels — the case is sized so the same standard 24"x36" boards you're already carrying double as its stiffeners. The tubes carry the rolled side of the same world: posters, blueprints, drawing sets, and prints on their way to clients, job sites, and shows.

How do I choose between a flat case and a tube for 24"x36" artwork?

Let the artwork decide: if it can be safely rolled — posters, blueprints, prints on resilient stock — a tube is the lighter, more compact carry, and the diameter is the real choice: the 6" tube suits a document or two, while the 8" lets you roll heavier stock without excessive curling or nest several sheets together. If it can't be rolled — mounted or matted work, foam boards, mixed loads, anything with a surface that rolling would crack — the X-Port carries it flat with a six-inch gusset of room. And if it's shipping rather than riding with you, the hard-sided case is the one built to be handled by someone else.
