Flip bins - where to purchase?

Posted by Mark Anderson on June 28, 2010 at 2:08pm
So I'm looking at setting up a tent at some shows next summer and I'm looking at getting some of those art flip bins for prints.

I've tried any number of Google searches, but no luck.  Where can you purchase those?

    Jerry's have both wooden and cloth bins in various sizes. I use gridwall for my panels, and I have some baskets that hang on the gridwall that I use for 11 x 14 and small bins. My normal setup is to put 3 pieces of gridwall together in a triangle and hang baskets on two sides. I hang pictures above and below the baskets. I also have baskets in 3 sizes that I got at Michaels. I put smaller prints in them on a table in my booth.

    Ditto on the Jerry's Artarama suggestion. They have nice, lightweight wooden ones that regularly go on sale for $35.00. I'm lusting after some of the Pro Panel bins that mount directly to the panels, but they're not in the budget this year. I have been very happy with the cheap one I bought from Jerry's. It doesn't fold completely flat, but if I wrap it in a sheet it seems to travel well.

    I got my last set (before I went to the propanel bin) from Artarama. They were free standing and held quite a bit.

    You're right, "rack" makes all the difference.

    I'm still having trouble finding exactly what I want (and maybe it doesn't exist).

    I'm looking at displaying smaller prints ( 8 x 10 and 11 x 14), and I'm looking for something tall enough, but not so big that it seems too big for the prints.

    Does that make sense? Am I over thinking this?

    Also use the word "rack" in your Google search. For some reason everyone other than art show people call them print racks.

    As usual Larry has some terrific advice. You can also look in art supply catalogs such as Dick Blick--

    How professional do you want it to look? ProPanels sells print bins that match their carpeted walls. You can get something from Jerry's Artarama.

    My favorite is from Selwyns and it looks like it belongs in a gallery but breaks down easily and doesn't require tools. I use model # 2130 on this page:
