I'm in the UK, and most of mine are stored upright in stiff card mailing
envelopes which are available in a wide range of sizes from:

promotional.pack...@btinternet.com
I don't know whether they sell outside the UK and in any case the cost of
freight might be prohibitive, but they might be able to suggest a similar
supplier Stateside. I used to get their envelopes about 200 at a time (because I
also use them for mailing music), which was more expensive per unit than buying
them by the thousand. Then I found a company that was buying larger quantities
and was able to come to an arrangement with them to add my more modest
requirements to their orders from time to time.
At one time Staples in the UK also sold box files suitable for A3 contents (A3
is a metric size, approx 11.7" x 16.5"), with internal sprung clips to hold the
contents in place so the boxes could be used vertically. It might be worth
checking whether there's a U.S. similar size available from U.S. Staples?
On a smaller scale, these days I also use the boxes in which A4 plastic pockets
are sold as storage for e.g. bigger sets of orchestral parts. I use quite a lot
myself and people who work in offices or schools can often bring me additional
empty boxes.
I hope you find something appropriate to solve your problem.
Greetings from England,
