I am a solo practitioner and travel quite a bit for work, finding myself on the road once or twice a month. With this comes the fun of
packing up everything I need and prepping for upcoming meetings. I use
11x17s for a lot of design presentations or even reduced size drawing
sets. ( I would do 12x18 but that is a discussion of what simple
printers are capable and a tangent conversation). I find that I have my
laptop bag and a slew of folders holding the 11x17 drawings. 
One day as I was packing, I started wondering if there is a good professional bag that would work for holding drawings and taking to
meetings. I could not find anything specific to fit this criteria. Yes,
there are workarounds of people finding bags large enough to stow away
drawings into something that fits into the luggage category, or the
commentary of why can't you just roll your drawings. 
So my question is two-fold. 
1. Is there such a bag on the market for an architect to transport 11x17 or even 12x18 drawings flat, along with the other meeting
essentials?
2. Assuming there is not: Is there a demand for it? Do you find yourself or someone that you work with in need of such a bag?
