Looking for a way to store magazine clippings

[Cantavanda 141]

HIYA! It is me, CANTAVANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i are am loçoking for a way to store magazine clippings.

I have over 200 clippings of LAREINE from various magazines.

I don't want them all loose, so I wanted to put them in a folder with transparent plastic pages, so I can browse through them.

But........

Some pages are a tad larger than A4!! For example the SHOXX pages are larger so don't fit the A4 plastic pochettes.

 

I'm sure lots of you own clippings of VK magS, so you don't have to take up closets full of magazines full of bands you don't care about.

 

Does anyone know of a solution for my problem? I have tried lukin for folders with transparent plastic page-insert-here's that are a tad larger than A4... to no avail.

Or is there another solution?? ?

 

THANKSH!

Bigger  transparent plastic exsist (a3, a2) maybe ask in a office supply store. 

There are also  Art Portfolio Folders most disent  art or photography stores probably have theme.

Depending on the exact misures you need I'd take a look at something like this or this.

B4 format could be a good compromise between A4 and A3 if you can find sheets that format.

Same here... 

I still haven't found the magical solution...

I have seen Japanese fans that sell the magazine clippings put them in portofolios like the ones Arkady has linked.

 

According to google, Shoxx magazine paper size is called A4変形.

 

A4変形

 

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/レターサイズ#A4変形

A4変形[編集]

縦はA4の297mmで横のサイズを可変したものを「A4変形」と呼ぶ。横サイズの規定はないが、バインダーでA4変形対応と称するものは、レターの横幅215.9mmに対応させることで、A4と比較しての横の長さでレターサイズの紙があふれださないように配慮がなされている

Height is 297mm and width can vary.

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/判型

マガジンサイズ - 232×297　※「A4変形」とも　※女性誌、デザイン誌等

Here it says the size is 232x297 mm.

Can you measure the Shoxx magazine and share the width it has to see if the links I provided from Amazon would fit?

* I edited my previous post and made a more clear description in this new post about storage options and sizes.

 

******** Storage options **********

 

I am thinking whether to put them in ring binders (+ plastic protectors with holes) or in clear pocket binders.

 

In case you want to order them by yourself or through a Japanese friend:

The person writing in this blog explains that you can either buy them at the 100 yen store or at Kokuyo or Muji (stationary stores). He says in Kokuyo and Muji they call that size 「A4ワイド」. This is a Kokuyo A4 wide size clear pocket binder. I don't know if they have ticker ones, as this one has just 20 pockets.

Quote

そこでA4変形サイズのためのクリアブックを用意してみました。
コクヨや無印良品では「A4ワイド」というサイズで商品があります。
400円～500円くらいします。

He/she recommends buying the higher quality ones at Kokuyo or Muji rather than at the 100 store. You can also get them at Yodobashi Camera, Amazon.co.jp, Tokyu Hands, Loft or other places with a big stationary section.

 

I personally find it more comfortable to use ring binders because you can change the papers order, add more or remove them but I like clear pocket binders more aesthetically speaking.

 

 

You can buy different binder sizes for each paper size you have or buy the biggest size (A4変 and put all papers together no matter the size). Maybe it's easier that way.

 

********** Brands ************

I really like this stationary brand called Kikuyo because they have nice designs and good quality. They have a system called Novita which enlengthens the binder if you put more papers and if you have less papers the spine gets narrower. They don't seem to make Novita clear file binders for A4変 though, but you can get them for other sizes... * I don't get sponsored if you are wondering *

For archive quality clear files you can buy Maruman:

I haven't seen it being sold in Europe but it's a Germany brand...

*********** Paper Sizes **********

In Japan paper sizes are very clearly predetermined and classified and all magazines (most) of the same sort use the same size, as well with books, doujinshi, manga... Making it easier for people to store things (whether it be in binders, boxes or shelves). I have observed books and manga there have a few assorted sizes while here every publisher makes the magazine, book or comic in the size he wants... *_*
