Clearbags (www.clearbags.com) will probably hold up with frames. You
could also use cardboard framers corners (http://bit.ly/dS8fJH) or try
your local framer or art supply house.

Larger bins are available from Armstrong Display (http://www.armstrongproducts.com/print-bin09.htm
) and ProPanels (http://www.propanels.com/stands.html).

Folding bins are cheaper, but may not hold much framed work well.
Check Jerry's Artarama or Dick Blick.

Or you can build your own. See these blog posts for some examples that
I've made over the years:

Larry Berman has an article on the artshowphoto.com website detailing
how to build a small (16x20) standing bin.
