Take a look at Mayline's steel plan files page for examples - I've had good luck with their Hamilton Unit System files:

They even have dealers in the Middle East.

>At Brown University we store maps in large acid-free folders (36 x 48
>inches) that are big enough to completely cover the maps, ten maps per
>folder. If the maps are of different sizes, we separate them with thin
>acid-free sheets of paper (32 x 40 inches). We purchase the folders and
>sheets from University Products. The folders are Item no. 701-00PDMP
>(see http://www.archivalsuppliers.com/prodinfo.asp?number=701-00PDMP).
>The sheets are Item no. 678-LGPD (see
>http://www.archivalsuppliers.com/prodinfo.asp?number=678-LGPD&variation=
>678-3240).
>
>This provides a reasonable level of preservation. For a higher level,
>each map would have to either be placed individually in its own folder,
>or encapsulated in a plastic sleeve (also available from University
>Products--see
>http://www.archivalsuppliers.com/prodinfo.asp?number=L738).

>In our center located in Isfahan, we're facing a situation which we'd
