subject: Metal Portfolio Cases [print this page] Most of the first year art and design students have no idea regarding the details that they need to cover before entering school. If it is not the school fees that they need to think about, it is the boarding and lodging arrangements that they need to finalize before entering into the school of their choice. These decisions can distract or confuse them when it comes to buying supplies for art school, especially art portfolio cases. When such a situation arises, they not only get frustrated by the type of tools that need to work with, their school performance is also affected.
Many of the families are on a budget and they do not want to buy back to school supplies every semester. While most of the students feel like going to a new semester with everything new, this may not be feasible option especially for courses that are hard on the pocket. This is the reason why the portfolio cases bought by the students at the start of art school should last them until they graduate or even when they enter into professional life. Of all the portfolio cases available in the market, the only ones offering this feature are metal portfolio cases. Not only are the long lasting, they are shaped and styled to be elegant and protective and provide the kind of professional image that is needed throughout your life.
Unlike the zipper and two handle system that has been seen on a wide variety of art portfolio cases, metal art portfolio cases are made with latches to guarantee flexibility, protection and long lasting quality. This simply means that large pieces of work will not run the risk of being zipped and torn when the zipper is being locked. Apart from this, latches will not allow water to get into metal art portfolio cases in comparison to other locking systems.
Whether the user has sweaty palms or has a firm grip when carrying his or her portfolio case, a metal portfolio case can resist all of this without showing any signs of wear and tear. Leather on the other hand may lose its stitches and also lose its firm appearance after some months of use. People who have sweaty palms will begin to notice that the handle area is not as beautiful as it use to be due to the sweat and salt that has been passed off from their bodies onto the portfolio. These factors do not affect metal art portfolio cases and this is part of the reason why getting one pays off in the long run.
When it comes to grades, skills, appearance, coursework and dedication all play an important role. Most the professors do not accept art work that is either creased or seriously damaged and grade it according to how it has been presented. Depending on the given situation, traditional art portfolios become crumpled very easily and may damage the artwork that is stored inside them. On the other hand metal portfolios can stand impacts and bumps without showing any signs of damage and protect their contents even if they are damaged from the outside.
