Digital BW, The Print

most presentation/portfolio/storage boxes i've come across are made 
for traditional photo paper sizes (8x10, 11x14, 16x20 etc) - has 
anyone sourced good boxes at good prices for printer sizes (8.5x11, 
11x17, 13x19 etc.) ?
thanks
Frank

Frank,

You could make your image size 1/4 inch smaller.

no, it'd have to be bigger than the paper size
- the mat opening is the paper size

According to a post on the LF List;

"1: Light Impressions, a division of Centis is in Bankruptcy."

which isn't to say they aren't still operating....

Depending on your printer, you would use the next largest paper size.  So, 
you would use 13x19 paper and print your image 1/4 inch (or whatever) smaller 
than an 11x17 window opening.  It's the same issue for photographic paper.

Holinger Corp does boxes for Museums, custom and standard. Same 
thickness as Light Impressions and I think a tiny bit cheaper even for 
custom. Check that out. and you get to choose the style, which side 
drops down if any, etc. Your limited by Light Impressions. Also you 
have four materials to choose from, with two colors.

For boxes to hold 81/2 x 11 I think Light Impressions sells a better 
box (I think it's their "film box").
