I am looking for a way to carry 50 holders on an upcoming road trip.
I would prefer one bag or one "something".
I have a smaller bag to carry 15 holders but I am looking for something bigger.
Any suggestions ?

Ice chest...put in one layer, standing up right, then a layer of closed cell foam, then the next layer.
Or two smaller ice chests, then as you use one ice chest full, use that one as the 'Exposed" chest.
Helps keep the film at a more constant temp, hard-sided to protect from impacts.
I do this with 8x10's on road trips...don't have 50 of them, though!
Merry Christmas
... or the bag you already have, 15 holders, a changing bag, and a couple of empty film boxes. (That is what I do and it works just fine for me).
A mule.
Seriously, get a 3-wheeled jogging stroller so you don't have to carry all that weight.
Put it all in a large Lightware case, or similar product.
One thing not to do is put them in a cooler or hard case that has room to spare around them. I did with 8x10's about a dozen. The first time I went to get them out the dark slides had shifted out about an inch on most of them. Be sure to put in a towel, and don't trust the slide lock pins either.
Just 50? and 4x5? Weenie! I carry about 75 5x7 holders in felt-lined old cases, but of course I don't take the whole couple of boxes out from the car. I remove just a few to carry to the photo site.
It's always a good idea when carrying a large number of holders to put a rubber band around each one. Bands that are about 1/4" wide and about 3" long unstretched work well for 4x5. You can remove and replace the rubber band each time you photograph with the given holder.
Quickload or Readyload!
I have 3 large luggage stlye camera cases, 1 Tamrac and 2 Kipling. I never liked them for my roll film cameras but they make great soft side filmholder cases. Seems a little spendy but I already had them..EC
Mido. You can carry a couple hundred. If you can get em. What ever happened with their "rebirth"?
