Drawing Portfolio CANSON Annonay 810 x 1,210 mm — sturdy cardboard cover, white acid-free inner paper

CANSON Annonay drawing portfolio sized 810 x 1,210 mm provides a protective solution for large-format artwork. The portfolio combines a sturdy cardboard cover with white acid-free inner paper to preserve drawings and reduce the risk of discoloration or deterioration. It is designed for storing, transporting and presenting sheets such as sketches, pencil and ink studies, and watercolour works in a large format.

Advantages

The rigid cardboard cover protects artwork from bending and external pressure while remaining lightweight enough for transport. The white acid-free inner paper offers neutral colour support and archival properties that help preserve original tones and prevent paper yellowing over time. The single-piece supply makes it simple to add or remove sheets and to present work in a professional manner.

Suitable for

• Large-format pencil and ink drawings
• Watercolour studies and washes on light-weight papers
• Sketching and presentation of architectural or design sheets
• Temporary storage and transport of flat artwork up to 810 x 1,210 mm

When it may not be suitable

This portfolio is intended for flat storage of finished or in-progress sheets and may not be suitable for three-dimensional works, heavy mixed-media pieces with thick buildups, or canvases. It also does not provide rigid archival sealing or climate-controlled protection, so for long-term conservation of delicate or highly valuable works additional archival enclosures or climate control should be considered.

Key specifications

• Format compatible with sheets up to 810 x 1,210 mm
• Sturdy cardboard outer cover for impact and bend resistance
• White acid-free inner paper to reduce ageing and discolouration
• Single-piece supply for straightforward use

How to use

Place individual sheets into the portfolio ensuring edges align with the inner paper to avoid rubbing. Close the cover gently and store the portfolio flat or upright supported to prevent warping. When transporting, carry the portfolio flat or in a wide support bag to minimise bending; avoid exposure to direct sunlight or excessive humidity to preserve paper quality.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your artwork dimensions do not exceed 810 x 1,210 mm.
• Consider whether additional archival sleeves or interleaving paper are required for delicate media.
• Decide if a hard case or climate-controlled storage is needed for long-term conservation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, insert a clean sheet of interleaving tissue between wet or tacky works and the portfolio inner paper; store the portfolio flat in a dry, temperature-stable environment and handle by the edges to reduce fingerprints and abrasion.
