portfolio presentation binders?

[JoeFriday]

I need to find a presentation binder to hold 8x10 prints.. something that will impress clients and suitable for job interviews

it should be durable, have removable inserts.. the usual stuff

anybody know of a good online source, or a retail chain where I could see them in person?

Check out http://www.houseofportfolios.com/ before you turn Japanese.

If you are in NYC, they have a storefront- I think it's on 21st. St. Prolly about half the pro NYC photo community uses them for portfolios. I have one from them that's about ten years old, and it still looks pretty good.

lost luggage portfolios are very nice as well. We see alot of those in the ad agencies here in Chicago.

If you're going for the "just out of school - but I did well" look - there's always the classic Pratt portfolios. But lots of people don't like having to look at prints behind a plastic sleeve.

My "Go-To" answer is try Calumet...they should have something that will work...

thanks for the many excellent suggestions.. I'm on the Calumet website right now and I see many options.. and the Lost Luggage site is very cool.. the House of Portfolios is also a great resource.. this might take some time to figure out

here's another off the cuff thought.. digital picture frames.. are any available in a battery-operated form? and would anyone here consider that as a 'cutting edge' alternative (or maybe supplement) to a printed portfolio?

No, no, noooo....

I guess you might not want to ship from the UK, but Silverprint in London do a great range of portfolios too. Andy
