Hi folks

I'm going on a plane journey and I'l like to brin 10 prints with 20x 16 mounts.

Probably have to go in the hold.

Anyone suggest a good storage method for transportation?

Lots and lots of bubble wrap. Put all 10 prints together wrap in paper and tape well. Then wrap the whole thing in a lot of bubble wrap and put it in the box. I have shipped prints like this without problem.

By mounts, I asume framed? If so, you can get a box from someplace like Kinkos ot the UPS store.

Probably metal material best.

That looks like a pretty good case to me. I am assuming that they can not be rolled up.
