Whether you are a photographer, artist, graphic designer or another type of visual art professional, you know how important it is to make a good first impression when presenting your work, whether to a client or potential employer. One of the best tools for presenting your work is in an album, binder or portfolio. Here are some of the best archival products for making the most professional first impression possible. 

Archival binders that protect and present
Although your main priority is to present your work professionally, it's also important that your materials are protected and preserved. This is especially true if you travel to visit clients frequently. You don't have to sacrifice appearance to keep your work safe when you use binders that also act as archival albums.

The Accent Album is one great option if you are looking for a stylish, professional presentation that you can take on the go. This album has an integral tray that holds your work. The wrap-around edges have flap-style magnetic closures so the portfolio securely fastens but is also easy to open. Each of your documents can be securely tucked into the 10 high-clarity, polyester pages. 

Label your work 
Every artist has a signature, but when it comes to labeling your portfolios and binders, it's a good idea to err on the side of professionalism. Labels are important whether you are leaving your portfolio behind for a potential employer or submitting your work for an award.

The Adhesive Back Vinyl Labels are a perfect option for labeling professional works. With standardized sizes, you can be sure your presentation, no matter how many binders and portfolios you have, looks streamlined. This archival product comes with 20 label holders. You can choose from four different sizes to find the one that best fits your archival boxes, binders, albums and other products. 

Include your multimedia
Of course, very few portfolios are completely on paper these days. Graphic designers, videographers and many photographers may also have digital storage materials that should be included in their professional portfolios. When you purchase plain binders, there may not be enclosures for these materials. 

You can protect and professionally display these materials when you buy Eight Pocket CD Pages. These fit perfectly inside Binder Boxes, and are made from clear polypropylene, which will protect the disks during storage and presentation.
