Drawing Folder Pelikan Color Edition DIN A3, black/white, sturdy cardboard, 3 flap pockets

Pelikan Color Edition drawing folder for DIN A3 sheets is a robust storage solution made of sturdy, high-quality cardboard in a black and white colour scheme. The folder includes three internal flap pockets to secure loose drawings, sketches or prints and is designed to protect A3-format artwork and documents during storage and transport. Its flat format allows easy stacking and compact filing while the durable cardboard construction provides surface protection and light resistance for everyday use.

Advantages

The folder combines a rigid cardboard construction with a simple monochrome design that suits educational, studio and office environments. Three internal flap pockets hold multiple sheets without adhesive or clips, reducing the risk of creasing or edge damage. The size and flat profile make it convenient for carrying or storing larger sheets while keeping them accessible. The materials are lightweight enough for transport yet strong enough to offer basic protection against bending and surface wear.

Suitable for

• Students carrying A3 drawings, school projects or portfolios
• Artists and illustrators storing sketches, ink or pencil work
• Offices and studios organizing A3 prints, diagrams and presentation materials
• Exhibition preparation or transport of flat printed materials

When it may not be suitable

This cardboard folder provides basic protection from bending and surface wear but is not waterproof and will not protect contents from heavy impact or compression during long-distance shipping. It is not intended for archival long-term storage of moisture-sensitive or highly valuable originals without additional protective sleeves and climate-controlled conditions.

Key specifications

• Format compatibility: DIN A3 (landscape and portrait depending on placement)
• Material: sturdy, high-quality cardboard
• Design: black and white colour scheme
• Internal organisation: three flap pockets for securing loose sheets
• Profile: flat, stackable for compact storage

How to use

Place A3 sheets or prints inside the folder and fold each flap over the edges to secure the contents. For best protection, lay heavier or larger items flat and distribute sheets evenly across the three pockets to avoid bulging. Store the folder horizontally or vertically on a shelf; when transporting, keep it between other flat surfaces or inside a bag to reduce bending. If storing valuable or moisture-sensitive originals, add protective sleeves before placing them in the folder.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: basic protection and transport versus archival storage needs
• Volume of sheets: how many A3 sheets you need to store in one folder
• Environmental exposure: not waterproof—consider additional sleeves for moisture protection
• Weight and stacking: cardboard offers limited impact resistance compared with rigid plastic or clamshell cases

Usage recommendations

Use the Pelikan Color Edition drawing folder for everyday storage and transport of A3 drawings, sketches and prints. For long-term preservation of originals, combine the folder with archival sleeves and store in a dry, stable environment.
