Artcare Mapac Quartz Portfolio A1, Black

Very poor quality. Avoid. Only given one star as zero stars not allowed by Amazon. On unpacking disappointed to see a large crack on interior plastic lining with very sharp edges. Need the portfolio for work next week so have had to tape it up, rather than sending back for a refund. One of the two zips is also very fiddly to re-zip and feels flimsy. I don't expect it to last for long. Considering the price it's extremely poor value but one of the very few A1 sized art portfolios available on Amazon so thought I'd bought the best of a very limited bunch. And only then because my first choice, Ryman, didn't have any available online.

The A1 portfolio is great: it's big enough for nautical charts without folding or rolling.It has a handle in a silly place: no-one wants to carry this with their arm bent up: the handle should be half-way down one face.But the shoulder strap is OK.Reviews for the inserts are terrible (generally flimsy and ruined by folding), so I bought mine from a local craft shop: they, too, are flimsy.

Bought this for my diamond paintings, mainly due to reviews in here saying it comes with 5 A1 ring pockets to store your work in.Unfortunately, when it arrived that was not the case and I had to pay another £15 for the 5 A1 plastic pockets to put my art work in.

Great portfolio for me to submit my art work in with. Feels strong and durable, has a good handle and carry strap. is quite deep so can fit lots of work in there too! it comes with 5 plastic sheets in so if you are buying extra bear that in mind...

Good quality product
