Fitting a A1 paper sheet, in to a folder, so the sheet is accessible (not in a Plastic pocket)?

Im doing a portfolio on a building, and i have loads of Drawings on A1 sheets, the thing is that i need to fit the A1 sheets in my portfolio folder (Normal Folder size) and the sheets need to be accesible, ie, They can be folded and need to be attached to the folder ring, and you must b able, to simply pull a side of the sheet for it to open alll of it, then it should easily b collapsed back, while still being attached to the folder ring.





What im really wondering is if there is a way that i can fold the sheet, so i can punch two holes at a side, and it would be still accesible, without having to take the sheet out of the folder?





I CAN NOT USE PLASTIC POCKETS.





Sorry if this is REALLY confusing, and if im making it hard to understand, but really need a solution to this problem.

There is a standard way to fold drawings. For A1 in landscape fold vertically five times, first 210mm from left second 190mm from first fold, third 190mm from right, the last foold is central between fold 2 and 3. Make this look like a harmonica ( I have no better description) and fold in the middle. To be able to put punch holes in unfold this and fold inwards a triangular section from the horizontal fold to about half the width of the first top section.


Good luck. I usually need the picture for it.Fitting a A1 paper sheet, in to a folder, so the sheet is accessible (not in a Plastic pocket)?
Could you attach a strip of card to the botttom lefthand side of your sheet of paper? The strip of card would be the length of the folder and could have the holes punched in to slot into your folder and the rest of the sheet of paper should then fold up without getting creased over the rings of the foldrer.





(I think that if the holes are in the paper it will not fold up properly and will get creased, am guessing this is the problem?)





Hope this makes sense!
we all see that you do not get many big problems if this at the top of your agenda
bit hard to explain but you can fold 1bottom corner in at 45deg then fold it up, then fold it in the 45deg leaves 1 side to punch holes and allows you to open it without removing it, most engineering drawings are folded like this
