For the other people here who have a baroque portfolio: how do you store it? At first I stood it up on its side, w/ the handle on top, but the sides couldn’t support the weight. After a day or two it started buckling / getting wavy. Ever since I’ve had it laying flat, but it takes up too much space to store it like this long term.
I did put some cardboard inside the covers to add some support, but that only does so much.

I have the larger portfolio designed for movie posters and ended up putting a piece of foam core board on each side of the case. They're quite a bit stronger than standard cardboard and can handle the weight of it being on it's side while stored behind my living room couch.

This will likely be my course of action... thanks for the tip.

Do you know how thick of a piece you used?

Not 100% certain, but it was most likely 3/16" thick.

Awesome, thanks.

I'd love to find one of those old poster display units like at the stores that sold posters: https://www.triodisplay.com/catalog/images/S2418-1_t.jpg

Yes! Me too! If you’re able to find them, let me know please.

cool. the search function DOES work.

HughFreakingDillon · July 2020

so i have a bunch of concert posters and one movie poster, which is an odd 27x40. the rest are mostly 18x24, some 24x36. if i buy the 24x36 one, would the 18x24's fit as well? or do i need to get some type of insert to keep them steady?

HughFreakingDillon · July 2020

and a whole whack of 11x17's. not sure what to do with those either.

I have the 24x36 and put 18x24 refills in it and it worked fine. Since then, I've gotten a 18x24 for all those size prints and have the other for the larger prints.

i see my question has been answered. so you need the exact size of sleeve for the print or it will shift around i assume, @ski-bum?

I have the 24” x 36” portfolio, and it accommodates the 18” x 24”s, but it needs the reinforcement. Truth be told, I would imagine the smaller size would also need the reinforcement if you intend to stand it on its side (which is the only reasonable way to store it if you don’t have room to lay it flat.) The portfolio isn’t firm, and the posters alone won’t provide enough support.

Your 11” x 17”s will also fit... the sleeves will be oversized for them, but at least you’ll have all your posters in one spot (with the exception of that 27” x 40” movie poster... there’s no squeezing that into the 24” x 36”.

I haven't had problems with smaller prints sliding in the baroque sleeves. I have a bunch of itoya 18x24 books with the sleeves already installed and then I put everything larger in the baroque 24x36. I only have a very few that are exactly 24x36 - - many are 12X36, 20x26, 21x31, etc. I haven't had any problem with excessive sliding of prints that don't fill the sleeve entirely.

Thank you all for the helpful information! I have 64 posters with 41 of them 18x24 and 23 with one or the other (or both) dimensions greater than 18x24.

At first I looked at getting the Itoya 18x24 for ~$40 which holds 48 prints and the Baroque 24x36 for $149 which would hold 40 prints.

I would like to keep them in one portfolio so now looking at getting the Baroque 24x36 portfolio plus the $49.99 15 18x24 sleeve refill pack (since it"s compatible with the 24x36 portfolio) and use the refills for 30 18x24's and some of the extra 24x36 sleeves for the remainder.

Any suggestions are very welcome!

That’s what my wife got me for my birthday, except she got me the extra 24” x 36” sleeves... I’m very happy with it.

Thank you!

Has anyone purchased the baroque 18 X 24? I am wondering how the 18 X 24 prints fit in this portfolio?

EF11 · March 2021

I have two of the Baroque 18 x 24 portfolios, and the 18 x 24 posters fit in the sleeves perfectly. There is just enough wiggle room that you can get the poster in and out without getting frustrated and mangling them.

Thank you. That is helpful! They are telling me that the pages are a little bigger than the 18 X 24 size. Is this true?

EF11 · March 2021

Glad to help! And yes, that is true with both of mine. I just checked one, and there seems to be a good quarter of an inch buffer vertically and horizontally.

Bob Mayo on the keyboards Bob · March 2021

are you guys going one poster per side or doubling up if 2 smaller ones would fit together?

EF11 · March 2021

I do one poster per side of each page, but that is because the Baroque portfolios include a thin divider within each page that separates the two.
