Portrait presentation folders & supplies - 03-26-2009, 04:13 AM


I am looking for a good source to present/ship portraits. I've seen some portraits come in presentation folders and some come in poly photo bags. There are a million companies out there that have the "Olan Mills" style portfolio for 5x7 and 8x10's. I have seen a black folder that all four sides fold into the middle for both 5x7 and 8x10's. This type of folder is for one to multiple images rather than the "slip in" type of cardboard frame that I have seen too often. Unfortunately, I saw one in passing and wasn't able to get the name off of it.

Can anyone make recommendations for the types of presentation folders / bags / boxes you use and some sources you use to purchase these supplies?

Thanks,
Scott

Not sure who you use for a lab, but Miller's has some very nice Boutique packaging. Here is a link:

You can also try DNL Photo Packaging:

Scott, sounds like you're looking for what Rice calls an "Artist Portrait Case." I use those for my work.

Happy Shooting.
