About 30"x40" Portfolios & Art Cases

What types of cases and carriers are available for 30"x40" artwork?

The full transport-and-display system exists at 30"x40". Carrying flat: the X-Port 32"x42"x6" Expandable Portfolio — exhibition print scale, architectural E size — which ships folded flat and stands rigid once standard 32"x40" foam boards (not included) slide into its side-wall lining; two vertically spaced front handles and clamshell end-zippers handle the loading and carrying at this scale, and the six-inch gusset holds up to 24 standard 1/4-inch foam boards. Shipping: the 33"x42"x3" hard-sided case, foam-lined polyethylene with metal-reinforced corners, fitting work up to 33.25"x42.25"x3.5". Storing: acid-free sleeves in 32"x40" (fits prints up to 31.5"x40", including standard 27"x40" posters) and 32"x42", each with a removable acid-free stiffener insert and two-sided display. Displaying: a commercial-grade powder-coated steel rack sized for all three sleeve sizes, on four casters (two locking) and holding up to 50 sleeves. Rolling: four tube options — 6" and 8" diameters in 37" and 45" lengths — in water-repellant 600-denier polyester over rigid paperboard liners.

Who uses 30"x40" art cases and carriers?

Fine artists moving exhibition-ready pieces and large-format photographers are the X-Port 32"x42"'s stated audience, along with display and signage professionals whose transport need recurs show after show. The sleeve-and-rack system serves print sellers and galleries — 27"x40" is the standard poster size, and a caster-mounted rack of 50 sleeved prints is a browsable sales fixture, not just storage. The tubes carry rolled drawings, posters, and prints for architects, engineers, and anyone moving 30"x40"-class documents without the bulk of a flat case.

How do I choose the right carrier for 30"x40" artwork?

Four jobs, four answers. Carrying originals and mounted work flat: the X-Port 32"x42", whose foam-board stiffening system means the boards you carry are also the structure of the case. Shipping: the 33"x42"x3" hard case — foam lining and reinforced corners for transit you don't supervise. Storing or selling loose prints: sleeve them (32"x40" for prints and standard posters up to 31.5"x40"; 32"x42" for slightly larger work), and put the rack under them if customers browse — it rolls on casters and holds fifty. Rolling posters and drawings: pick tube length by the work's long edge — 45" tubes take a full 40" sheet, 37" tubes suit shorter work — and diameter by the roll: 6" for a document or two, 8" for heavy stock rolled loose or several sheets nested.
