A flat article carrying case includes corrugated sheet materialwhich substantially wraps about the entire case with the exception of the lateral sides of the case. A handle is attached to the front side of the carrying case. Two frame members, forming the lateral sides of the carrying case, are provided for providing stiffness and rigidity to the case, when covered with corrugated sheet material which is flexible along a direction parallel to the frame members but substantially rigid or stiff in the transverse direction extending between the frame members. However, it will be evident that different covering sheet materials may be used, in which case different numbers of frame members may be needed to provide requisite stiffness or rigidity to the resulting carrying case. VELCRO or other suitable detachable fastener is used for selectively attaching the sheet material forming the top and bottom sides to the frame members to permit selective opening of the case to provide access to the interior thereof and to permit insertion and removal of flat articles to or from the case. A storage system utilizing such carrying cases includes vertical support members which are maintained substantially vertically by a base or the like is provided with shelving runners on which one or more pairs of shelf brackets may be mounted configured to be received within the rear sides of the carrying cases to provide a permanent storage for the carrying cases and the relative flat large articles contained therein.

[ What I claim is:] [1.]1. A storage system for storing at least one carrying case for flat articles comprising support means which includes at least two spaced substantially horizontal brackets supported in a common horizontal plane;at least one flat carrying case having top and bottom, front and rear and lateral sides, said top and bottom sides having width dimensions, between said lateral sides, and depth dimensions, between said front and rear sides, which are substantially greater than the dimensions of said front, rear and lateral sides, between said top and bottom sides, at least said top and bottom sides being formed of a relatively thin, lightweight sheet material, a handle on at least one of the sides between the top and bottom sides for carrying the case; and at least two elongate substantially parallel rigid frame members arranged along said lateral sides of the case for stiffening the case and preventing twisting and warping of said top and bottom sides; and attachment means for selectively attaching said sheet material forming said top and bottom sides to said frame member to permit opening of the case and provide access to the interior thereof to insert or remove a flat article to or from the case;said rear side of said at least one carrying case being provided with openings, aligned with said generally lateral frame members, configured to receive said brackets to engage said frame members to thereby support the case on said brackets.
