I only keep a few matted or framed prints around, the mats are bulky
and heavy, take up a lot of space which I don't have to spare. I
usually make prints to order when they need to be matted and framed.
I do print a lot, however. I've got a number of portfolio style books
for when I want to carry them around but I've come to hate looking at
or showing my prints through transparent plastic sleeves. Last year I
found the Century Boxes, archival print boxes available in a variety
of sizes. They're nicely made, not too too horridly expensive, and
are good for both storage and presentation. I found that ordering
direct from the company saves a good bit over buying locally:

There are other, less expensive boxes suitable for storing and
transporting mounted/matted work available. Light Impressions carries
some, other vendors have them too.
