Portfolio boxes are used to display work to a profession standard for clients. The boxes come in various aspect ratios, from 4x6 all the way up too 20x24 and beond. The difficulty when it comes to purchasing a folio box is getting the right ratio for you and your work. A choice between printing your work to fit the box or printing your work out to a size that looks best for that piece of work is a hard desicion to make, my initial thought was to prioritise the work. for instance print the work to a a good size but then analysing that further, I came to the conclution that i would end up buying different sized print boxes for different series of work. Although that sounds ideal, the price is against me! The prices range from £15 to £140 without postage and although on first hearing this doesn't sound bad, the process of buying more and more will become ridiculous.
After looking into sizing and getting some advise from my tutors, I now know that a decent sized folio box ranges from A4 to A3. A3 is a good size to be able to carry around without too much hasstle and also a good size for most of my prints.
