How do you lot handle large prints when they arrive?

[BlueMR2]

I have had a few photos printed, some are 30x20 inch, A2 and so on (couple of 45x30 inch beasts as well) what is the best way to handle them.

When they arrive in the post in the tube they are always trying to curl themselves up and quite hard to handle.

I put the 2nd lot i got on the side board with a heavy book on each corner for a few days and they are flat now, but still quite awkward to handle.

How do you all handle prints so they don't crease etc?

I think i am going to look for some artists sleeves/slip cases to keep some in, is there any sort of material i should avoid?

Thanks.

Roll them up the other way or draw over a table edge.

It seems to be hard to get them rolled the other way without bending them but i will give it a go with a couple of the big ones as all the others are flat now.

Cheers.

Keep them rolled up till I take them to the framers..

Only roll them if you have something to roll them with or you're very likely to add dimple creases at any point of contact with your thumbs/ fingers.

I assumed the OP has a competent level of dexterity.
