you should build your book to suit the type of job you're after. for instance, if you want to work in packaging then you should package your folio creatively and with lots of care.

i got lucky on paper as i was living with a paper maker at the time and he gave me everything. lots of brands and kinds were used but i mostly stuck with mattes.

i have a typical carrying case with boards and handhelds though i do want to build a case to preserve the craft a bit better. my teacher had his in a opaque white plastic case with foam inside and he cut holding places in the foam for his boards and handhelds and gave enough room to add more over the years. i believe he also had his logo transfered onto the case. don't believe it took much time, effort or money and it looks really professional and clean.

I'm not trying to polish a turd. Just seeing what other people are doing. Specs, paper stock, handmade, etc.

i'm not a print designer, but surely worrying about what your portfolio case looks like is like dressing up you web portfolio in needless flash? if you have nice work, does it really matter? honest question, i'm not ripping the pish for once...

11 X 14 seems like the standard size.
I'm trying to make something that I could easily duplicate and mail out. I think my book could use some nice paper stock.

I don't know if I would go through the pain of making a nice book just to give away to assholes. I would do a website and 3-5 leave behind sheets that are really nice.

mine is 14" x 10". i had a buddy at kinkos print it on card stock and shear it. i had brushed aluminum cut by a sign company and bought some aluminum tape and binders glue from art mart. i clamped it all together and used a shit load of binders glue and then used the metal tape to cover it up. it's 36 pages and looks great.
*however i would not reccomend using the aluminum tape. it's a bitch. use vinyl instead.
