Portfolios & Carrying Tubes to Protect Your Work
Artwork deserves proper protection in transit. DeSerres offers a wide range of portfolios in mesh, nylon, cardboard, and kraft, available from compact 5x7" formats to large 23x31" student sizes. Carrying tubes in fixed and expandable diameters complete the selection for rolled prints, posters, and oversized drawings. Whether you are a student heading to a critique or a professional transporting finished pieces, there is a format suited to your needs.
Choosing the Right Portfolio or Tube for Your Work
Format and material are the two key decisions. Rigid cardboard and kraft portfolios offer firm protection for flat works and are a practical choice for studio use or short trips. Nylon and mesh portfolios are lighter and more flexible, better suited for frequent travel or larger formats. Expandable tubes adjust to different lengths and are ideal for rolled canvases, architectural drawings, or large prints that cannot be folded. For oversized works, a carrying tube paired with a cart makes transport significantly easier. Browse our Bags, Backpacks, and Carts for additional carrying solutions.
