Storing Art - advice please, by kaos on Feb 26, 2016 15:23:33 GMT 1, Can you wonderful people please advice on storage of art prints.
I have bought a large art folder and sleeves from an art shop and placed my precious collection in the sleeves having wrapped them first in acid free tissue paper.
My question is: will this suffice or should I have got acid free sleeves?
Thank you all.

No need for all that, just give them to me, I will store and keep them safe for you and charge you only a very small fee for my service.......Oooh, now there's an idea

I try and get as much on the wall as possible really. Such a waste hiding them away.
To answer your question. Acid free all the way if can.

however, in general..... just use archival, acid free materials for anything in art storage. mylar sleeves are good too. i have a 24x36in portfolio but use 32x43in mylar sleeves for larger prints. anything larger than that, acid free foamcore board may be your best option.

You're suggesting just wrapping them in acid free paper is not enough?

No idea what the portfolio is made of, it doesn't say. Some sort of synthetic material I guess and no the sleeves are not acid free I don't believe. They are just standard sleeves available in art shops. You're suggesting just wrapping them in acid free paper is not enough? |
