If you got one for sale, feel free to drop me a line.

Problem with that would probably be postage costs, so maybe ordering comes cheaper in the end?

I just bought these on the weekend, but am still figuring out how to store the sleeves. They do NOT fit in the A0-boxes (Thor Zeichenmappe) they are selling! I will know more on Wednesday and will drop you a PM.

I'm interested as well. Murdock if you find a portfolio for them let me know as well

These guys make the A0 sleeves and portfolios to order, very helpful and good prices.
They made me a AO portfolio for about £90 a few years back, i have about 10 sleeves in it and it keeps them safe but remember an AO portfolio is a huge thing and weighs a ton, so its not very portable.

I have just purchased some 32inch x 42inch archival pint sleeves from selwyns.
That work out at about £22 each inc shipping and vat.
Give them a ring they are very helpfully.

Are they based in the UK? Is shipping based on that?
Where can I see prices on their website?

Do you just stash the sleeves under your bed?

I am looking for a folder to put them into. Yes, the folder will be heavy as hell, but way easier to handle that the individual sleeves (I think...). Problem so far, is to find a folder that is BIGGER than the sleeves, which be themselves are already bigger than A0...

I too would like a A0 Folder but cant seem to find one, Bought myself an A1 one

All of selwyns products are made to order an you can have any size you
want. If you give them a ring they will give you a quote over the phone
They are based in Wales and the shipping costs to London were only £20
the sleeves have a insert and are quite ridgid they will stand behind a large piece of furnature
out of sight.

Hi All - Mapac do do (sic!) a AO portfolio. See link here - just under £80.00. I think mrrp is c£145.00 and some places will charge you that! They do not hold vast quants, but will get them in.

I picked one up, not from above, but from Atlantis Art in East London vg art 'warehouse' and they do acid free/lignin tissue paper + they have a car park. (Google!) I would phone them first though to see if they have one in (+ check cost) before making a journey, although it is not far from Brick Lane and Spitalfields...

Ok so I went to (German art supplier) Boesner yesterday and found an easy solution to my problem:

Since A0 sleeves do not fit into A0 folders, but I only really needed sleeves to hold 70x100 cm of art, I got A1 sleeves and put therm into an A0 folder (two strong card sides that are bound together at 4 points). Also this was the cheapest solution, while the sleeves alone were 10€.

This takes care of carying around the sleeves by themselves and adds an extra layer of protection to the artwork. They did not have any A0-box-folders, btw.

The Selvins from above do look great and seem to be more sturday than the Phoebe sleeves from Boesner, but I guess shipping makes this less attractive for me.

Hope this helps
