About 40"x60" Portfolios & Art Cases

What types of cases and tubes are available for 40"x60" artwork?

The X-Port 41"x61"x6" Oversized Expandable Portfolio — the largest case in the catalog — carries 40"x60" work flat. It ships folded flat rather than as an oversized-freight package and sets up in minutes: standard 40"x60" foam boards (not included) slide into the side-wall lining compartments to give the case rigid, self-standing structure, and when the load itself is rigid and near full case size, no stiffeners are needed at all. Two vertically spaced front handles let you carry with the bottom elevated to whatever height clears the ground, end-panel zippers convert the front into a clamshell lid for flat loading, and the six-inch gusset holds up to 24 standard 1/4-inch foam boards. For rolled work, four tubes cover the size: 6" and 8" diameters in 45" and 50" lengths, each a rigid paperboard liner in water-repellant 600-denier polyester with a zippered end, detachable shoulder strap, and shipping label window.

Who uses 40"x60" art cases and tubes?

Trade show and display professionals moving printed banners, large display graphics, and foam-mounted presentation panels are who the X-Port 41"x61" was built for, along with exhibition-scale fine artists and muralists. The typical rhythm is written into the case: boards stay in for local use, the case folds flat between shows, and the foam goes back in on arrival. The tubes carry the rolled version of the same material — banners, oversized prints, and graphics headed for installation or a show floor, tough enough to check through as luggage.

How do I choose between a flat case and a tube for 40"x60" artwork?

If the piece is mounted, foam-backed, painted, or layered — anything rolling would damage — it goes flat in the X-Port, and at this scale the case's details matter: the elevated dual handles keep a five-foot case off the ground as you walk, and clamshell mode means you load it lying open rather than feeding work down through the top. If the piece rolls safely — printed banners, posters, prints on flexible stock — choose tube length by the width of the finished roll: a 40"x60" piece rolled along its 60" edge makes a 40"-wide roll that fits the 45" tubes, while wider rolls take the 50". Diameter follows the roll: 6" for a piece or two, 8" for heavy stock or multiple sheets nested loosely.
