About Lightweight Artist Folios

What is a Lightweight Artist Folio?

A Lightweight Artist Folio is a clasically designed carrying solution specifically created for transporting and presenting flat artwork. Available in five sizes (12"x16", 14"x18", 17"x22", 20"x26", and 23"x31"), these folios are crafted from durable recycled paperboard with a natural finish, offering an environmentally responsible alternative to traditional portfolios. Each folio features art-safe elastic securing straps, traditional tie closures, and a black interior lining, providing the perfect balance of protection, presentation, and portability for artists working with flat pieces of various sizes.

How Do I Set Up and Use my Lightweight Artist Folio?

Using your Lightweight Artist Folio is simple and intuitive. Open the folio by undoing the traditional tie closures, which are specifically designed to be gentler on delicate artwork edges than zippers. Place your artwork inside and secure it using the strategically placed elastic corner straps, which accommodate various sizes within the folio's dimensions. The art-safe internal pockets can hold preliminary sketches, smaller complementary works, or documentation. When ready to transport, close the folio using the tie closures and carry it by the reinforced dual handles.

What can I fit in my Lightweight Artist Folio?

The Lightweight Artist Folio accommodates various artwork sizes depending on your chosen model. The 12"x16" size is perfect for smaller works and studies, the 14"x18" handles medium-sized artwork, the 17"x22" fits standard architectural drawings, the 20"x26" accommodates substantial fine art pieces, and the 23"x31" size manages extra-large artwork and architectural presentations. The elastic securing straps are flexible enough to hold multiple pieces or various material thicknesses, while the internal pockets provide additional storage for related sketches, documentation, or smaller complementary works.
