Archival Solution of the Week: Onyx Portfolio Boxes
When it comes to presenting your work, a fine portfolio box is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL and, quite frankly, ULTIMATELY CRITICAL!!!
This applies to dozens of circumstances, with perhaps the most important including:
• presenting your portfolio at that crucial job interview
• your meeting with that gallery director you want to impress
• showing your work to demanding art department faculty members at your target college or grad school

Elegance & Sophistication: 1-3/8-Inch and 2-Inch Onyx Portfolio Boxes
If there were such a thing as a “standard” portfolio style, this would be it. Yet what makes the Onyx Portfolio Box ANYTHING BUT STANDARD is its elegance, sophistication, durability, and its extraordinarily high-quality construction—each box is carefully hand-built(!) from the finest materials available at Archival Methods’ dedicated onsite facility (in the USA!).
Sleek, slim and easy-to-transport, and with a convenient drop-spine that facilitates the safe removal of your matted or unmated images, the Onyx Portfolio Box is your ticket to success!
These stunning portfolio boxes are available in both 1-3/8-inch and 2-inch depths (3″ and 4″ depths are also available, click here for more information), and come with either a black or white interior. Each of these fine boxes is built from the ground up to be both a workhorse portfolio and an elegant statement that “you’ve arrived.” They are wrapped in a rich, water-resistant black fabric that will last for many years, all the while protecting and presenting your work in the BEST possible fashion. After all, presentation and archival protection is what it’s all about—so do it right!
Onyx Portfolio Boxes: Present & Store with Confidence and Style
The benefits of our Onyx Portfolio Boxes are endless. Aside from looking aesthetically pleasing for those important presentations, these high-quality portfolio boxes are also designed with archival storage in mind. Our boxes are ideal for matted or un-matted prints, and are therefore a great solution for BOTH storing AND displaying your portfolio and collections.
Our hinged-spine design allows the top to fold open and for the box itself to lie flat. This provides easy and safe access to your prints as your artwork can be edge-handled, meaning that fingers will never touch the delicate surface of your work. In addition, while many other portfolio boxes out in the world often have excess room—which can cause your artwork to rattle around—Archival Methods’ Onyx Portfolio Boxes are sized to ensure a snug fit, so you can always feel confident in the safety of your prints.
Onyx Portfolio Boxes: A Size for Your EVERY Need (with custom sizes available!)
While Archival Methods offers ALL the “standard size” portfolio boxes for photographs, artwork, collectibles and family artifacts, we also manufacture those hard-to-find digital print format sizes (please see the following list). In addition, if you need a special box size that you don’t see listed just contact us. We would be happy to provide you with a quote on all your custom sized (and imprinted!) portfolio boxes. It’s easy to do by clicking on this Imprints and Custom Products link.
