Metal Portfolios Cases Provide Style and Security

By Shannon Hilson


After all the time and effort it takes to create a work of art, the last thing you want is for all of your hard work to be ruined by being bent and mangled inside your portfolio. It only takes one bump or spilled drink to undo hours of hard work. While soft sided portfolios do provide some protection fro your work, if you want the maximum protection you should consider using metal portfolios for your artwork or presentations.

Why should you spend the extra money for a metal portfolio cases? There are several very good reasons: style and security.

The security

It is very crucial that your artwork or presentations come out of your portfolio in the same condition they went in. When you present your art or presentation to a buyer or a client you want it to be in the best shape possible. Plastic, leather, and vinyl portfolios are acceptable to a point, but they fall way short of the protection a metal case provides.

Even though you may attempt to protect your portfolio from damage while you are out, accidents do happen eventually. Typically these accidents happen at the worst possible situation. You are on your way to a huge client for a job that could lead to a large payout, and that is when the guy walking by you on the street trips and falls right into your portfolio.

If you are using one of the less expensive soft cases, the art inside could get badly harmed. However, if you were willing to pay a little extra to get a quality metal art portfolio, the contents inside would be kept safe from harm in any situation.

It is also possible that the day you have to meet with the client for your big presentation is the day of the heavy storm. Even though some of the inexpensive cases may give you some limited protection from the weather it may not be enough when you face a stronger rain. You are left with the option of risking to ruin your presentation, or trying to reschedule the meeting for a another day. Either option is not acceptable when dealing with a client. You can improve the weather resistance of your case by using a waterproofed metal case.

Reason two: Style

If you want to make a good impression even before you open your case then you should consider showing up with a silver portfolio case in your hand. It effectively provides the statement that the contents are worth to protect, and that they are not the usual presentation.

Competition is hard in business nowadays. Some clients see a lot of different presentation every week, and unless yours stand head and shoulders above the rest, it could get lost in the crowd Sometimes it is the appearance of the presenter as much as the actual presentation that wins the big job. One way to stand out from the crowd is to carry a portfolio that is more stylish than the usual case that gets toted around by applicants.

When you wish to show your presentation with safety and sty;e, the best option you have is to use a metal art portfolio.
