CANSON drawing folder STUDIO CREATIV model C40006545700, cardboard cover, 320 x 450 mm, white acid-free interior paper, pack of 10

CANSON drawing folder STUDIO CREATIV model C40006545700 is a pack of 10 cardboard folders sized 320 x 450 mm designed to store and protect finished drawings, sketches and studies. Each folder includes white acid-free interior paper, offering a neutral surface that helps preserve artwork created with pencil, charcoal, pastel and many mixed media. The rigid cardboard cover provides mechanical protection during transport or portfolio storage while the slim format fits standard document racks and shelves.

Advantages

The folders combine a stiff cardboard cover with white acid-free internal leaves to reduce long-term discoloration and paper degradation. The 320 x 450 mm format accommodates common sheet sizes used by students and practicing artists. Supplied as a pack of ten, they offer a cost-effective way to organise, separate and archive multiple pieces. The lightweight but firm construction balances portability and protection for day-to-day handling.

Suitable for

• Storing and transporting pencil, charcoal and pastel drawings
• Organising student coursework, sketch studies and practice sheets
• Temporary presentation or portfolio storage for galleries and classes
• Protecting mixed-media works that do not require heavy interleaving or varnish

When it may not be suitable

These folders are intended for flat storage and light transport; they are not rigid cases or boxes and do not provide full protection against strong impacts or moisture. Works that are heavily layered with wet media, thick impasto, or sprayed fixatives may require additional interleaving or specialised archival sleeves.

Key specifications

• Quantity: pack of 10 folders
• External format: 320 x 450 mm
• Cover material: stiff cardboard
• Interior: white acid-free paper leaves
• Suitable media: pencil, charcoal, pastel, dry mixed media

How to use

Place each finished sheet inside a folder leaf so the artwork lies flat against the interior paper. For fragile or smudgable media, insert a spare sheet of acid-free paper between works to prevent surface contact. Store folders upright on a shelf or flat in a portfolio case to avoid bending. Label the outer cover or add a small adhesive note to identify contents without repeatedly opening the folder.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 320 x 450 mm format suits your artwork dimensions
• Decide if cardboard-covered folders provide sufficient protection for transport needs
• Consider adding extra interleaving for pastel, charcoal or works with loose media
• Check storage conditions to avoid exposure to moisture or high humidity

Usage recommendations

For archival storage, combine these folders with acid-free interleaving sheets and keep them in a dry, temperature-stable environment. When transporting, place folders in a rigid portfolio or flat box to minimise pressure and bending.
