How to pack a print - Shagga's Step by Step guide w/pictures, by ap0 on Sept 4, 2020 11:37:40 GMT 1, Thank you for the very detailed guide! Extremely useful for somebody like me who is just starting to get into collecting art.
I have a general question: how long would you say is the maximum time a print could stay in a tube until the paper looses the ability to flatten?
My situation is that I am starting to collect prints that I can't yet put on a wall and I'm not sure which ones I will chose to put up when the time comes. Ideally I would want to store my prints for a minimum of 6 months up to until an undetermined amount of time... What would you suggest?
In case keeping prints on a tube isn't good after a certain amount of time (say maybe a month) which would be the cheaper, less space consuming, solution?
I know I'm asking a lot but bear with me, I'm just starting...
Thanks!

How to pack a print - Shagga's Step by Step guide w/pictures, by fonebone45 on Sept 5, 2020 0:15:58 GMT 1, Just found this thread today. Great info in here! I pack the same way, and wanted to mention also roll a touch smaller than tube so if there's a dent it doesn't hit the print inside. A bit of a buffer just in case.
Just looking at the pics though, and looks like you roll the print long-ways? I've only ever rolled as the shortest edge, and only ever received prints that was as well. Curious if that's how people are doing it, or if I'm interpreting the photo wrong.

Iโd recommend getting them out of the tubes and storing them flat. At least a few members (including me) use one these portfolios: www.baroqueportfolios.com/
Works well and can be stored standing up in a closet or flat under a bed.
