Gonna be pre-ordering one of these very soon as I can't find anything that matches it
What's your recommended time frame on flattening them out Mate?

depends how long they have been rolled. Like if you get a poster from a gallery mailed and you take it out of the tube the day you get it, within a few hours it will almost be ok for a portfolio, within a day it would pretty much be OK

if it's been rolled for a few weeks/months then you may need a good week or two to get it flat enough

if longer then untube it, and unroll it from the fraft paper but let it sit rolled for a day or so to let the paper breath, then after a day or three then start flattening it, it may take a few weeks to flatten

also by flatten i mean mostly flat, once it's been rolled you may always see a bit of curvature at the ends but basically you are looking for it to mostly lay flat without rolling up. like you may see the ends flare up a bit, at that point you should be OK to store in the portfolio.

once it it in the portfolio the weight of the other posters will also help flatten

No longer shipping internationally.
I have an order pending with them that said it would ship in September but no movement on it. Hopefully they'll be able to honor it.

I received my portfolio (24*36) including sleeves and poster weights back in may, at last after waiting for months. Must say it was worth the wait though

 

[mllNY]

@Strangerbyday were they shipping internationally before, I was not aware they ever were. I would say reach out to them and confirm.

If not I thought at Vice Press they were selling some too but also in an extreme scenario if you wanted to use my address to ship to, but I have no clue how expensive it would then be to ship over to you, I could imagine it being quite a bit

Yeah previously they were shipping internationally, there was a section in the FAQ on their site that mentioned international orders & there was a full list of countries in the drop down when checking out.

I emailed them earlier & they confirmed I’ll still receive mine but international orders ship a few weeks after domestic so probably won’t ship till the end of October. They also confirmed they’ve stopped international orders for now, presumably due to the changes in VAT & tax for EU countries.

Oh, bloody shame.
Really wanted to be picking one of these up soon and last I checked they were still shipping over to the UK, **** that they are no longer Worst thing is that I cant seem to find anything else of this size Gonna have to hope that they start to ship back over here soon.

 

[Robles]

Finally managed to pick one up Well chuffed that I got one

So now I've just got to flatten them all out so I can put them in

 

[mllNY]

glad you got one. I'll say if posters have been sitting for a while in tubes then take time flattening them and they most likely will never be truly flat. If some posters have been in tubes for a while then I would take them out and let them breath a bit, then you want to have those posters laid flat for a good two weeks before putting in the portfolio

i'm close to needing to order a third portfolio

Thanks for the info mate.

When it comes to the posters is it ok to put posters on top of others when laying them flat or is it best to have them laid out on their own?

Have a couple laid out at the moment but would be handy if I could lay a couple more on top as don't really have the space the lay many more out, especially if your recommendation is to have them out for a couple of weeks.

 

[mllNY]

I mean for a few weeks I personally believe it is OK, I do it though I do make sure there is tissue paper between the posters. I am sure others would say don't but for a week or two unless you get extreme weather I personally think it will be OK.

One thing I do for flattening is to get two acid free foam boards, usually you can get these at art supply stores, and sandwich the poster between the boards

I ended up getting the regular edition - ordered back in Dec 2022 and just got it a few weeks ago.

With my old one, always thought the 24x36 felt too tight, so this time I opted to go with 27x41

Throughout the past few years Baroque has collaborated with some of their favorite artists on customized portfolios that combine their unique aesthetic with our archival portfolio creation. Today we're honored to announce their newest artist portfolio collaboration with the legendary Shepard Fairey and OBEY!

Since its inception in 1989, Shepard's OBEY campaign has been a subversive street art juggernaut gaining momentum, power, and further meaning as the movement has evolved. Using brilliantly bold imagery, such as the OBEY Icon Face logo and slogan, Shepard has grown into a worldwide giant in both the art and activism realms.

Baroque worked alongside Shepard and the OBEY team to create a 100% archival portfolio that incorporates OBEY's distinct design sense and Shepard's ubiquitous art totems. Their portfolios offer collectors a safe and stylish way to store prints and paper originals, and we use the highest quality materials available.

As collectors ourselves, we're thrilled to see Baroque team up with Shepard and OBEY, and we're excited to think about all of the art that will be filling these portfolios!

Each portfolio is designed to hold prints up to 18 x 24 inches and comes with 40 refill sleeves, enough storage for up to 80 prints! The front cover is screen printed and embossed with the classic OBEY Giant logo and the rear is embossed with the iconic OBEY wording. A contrasting red trim accents and completes the design.

Portfolios are available for preorder by clicking here.

This first batch of preorders will ship in September. In order to guarantee being part of this first batch, your order must be received by 5/31!

They are also are making these available to their UK & EU customer base!

Our good friends at Baroque are proud to announce their newest collaboration in their Artist Series with the legendary EMEK!

If you’ve spent any amount of time collecting cherished gig posters from some of your favorite bands, you’ve no doubt come across an Emek. For 30+ years, Emek has stood at the forefront of both gig poster creation and experimental screen printing. Emek’s art is bold, subversive, playful, and often synergizes the band’s aesthetics with his own unique sensibilities and world views.

Baroque worked alongside Emek to create a 100% archival portfolio that features Emek’s art and general aesthetic incorporated into our portfolio creation process. Their portfolios offer collectors a safe and stylish way to store prints and paper originals, and they use the highest quality materials available.

In addition to Emek’s portfolio, they're releasing an exclusive signed and hand-numbered embossed print "Surfing Skeleton" based off of the art used on the portfolio itself!

Plus, if you purchase the portfolio & embossed print combo, you'll save $25!

This timed edition release is available NOW through Tuesday, February 13th @ 11:59PM ET by clicking on the button below!

It’s time to shake things up a bit with a true force of nature, Zoltron!

Baroque portfolios continues their Artist Series continues with another gig poster legend, and somebody we’ve looked up to forever, the enigmatic Zoltron. Zoltron’s work is synonymous with gig posters, and the rock ‘n’ roll art scene as a whole. For their first portfolio project together, they wanted to spotlight Zoltron’s iconic character, the lovable and apocalyptic Sue Nami. If you aren’t familiar with Sue, take a trip down memory lane with this wildly cool blog post from Zoltron himself, The Story of Sue Nami.

Baroque worked alongside Zoltron to create a 100% archival portfolio that features new, embossed Sue Nami art on the front and back of the portfolio. Working off of the idea of having a large, leather bound fairytale storybook starring Sue, we’ve incorporated Zoltron’s general aesthetics into the creation of this dark storybook, including a custom enamel zipper pull in a high contrasting black and white color-way. Portfolios offer collectors a safe and stylish way to store prints and paper originals, and they use the highest quality materials available, so the entirety of your Zoltron print collection can safely rest in the protective portfolio.

In addition to Zoltron’s portfolio, they are releasing an exclusive Sue Nami print based on the artwork used on the portfolio itself.

"Sue Nami; An Apologue of the Apocalypse” The holographic print was designed as the cover page of Zoltron’s giant vegan leather-bound poster story book.

Don’t sleep on this one. Both the portfolio and print are available as a time edition for one week only!

Baroque is proud to present our newest collaboration with the gods of heavy metal, Metallica!

Metallica have been rocking stages, stadiums, and everything in-between for our entire lives, and we’ve spent decades worshiping at the altar of their music. We’ve always admired their music and showmanship; their candidness throughout their many years regarding every topic, taboo or not; and their dedication to every aspect of art, including the band’s continuous support of other artists worldwide through gig posters.

We worked with our production staff and designers to create a collab worthy of the band, and we’re stoked to release our 100% archival portfolio that features Metallica’s iconic band logo embossed on the front and James Hetfield’s beloved “ninja star” logo on the back. For color palette, we Fade(d) to Black, for the ultimate heavy metal storage for all of your gig posters and prints. Available in two sizes, 18x24 and 24x36 inches, you'll be sure to have plenty of storage space for your collection!

The Baroque x Metallica portfolios are available for purchase as a timed-edition release through Sunday (11/24) @ 11:59PM ET by clicking on the button below!
