20 gorgeous presentation folder designs

These beautifully designed presentation folders will give you a shot of inspiration if you're looking to strike the perfect balance between form and function.

Every business has its share of paperwork, but a stack of plain, loose papers just isn't very enticing when the goal is to attract customers. Pocket folders are excellent for presenting and distributing a business's marketing materials, invoices, or other vital documents. They work best, however, when the folder has a unique, eye-catching design.

We've assembled 20 of the best folder designs we could find to help excite your creativity, and then organized them by the four most popular imprint methods: embossed/debossed; foil-stamped; four-colour process; PMS (spot) colour.

Embossed/debossed folder designs

01. gnomon school of visual design folder.

This presentation folder was designed to hold tri-fold brochures as well as other important promotional materials for the Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood. Designer Bob Ward ran student artwork through an emboss/deboss treatment to sculpt the graphics, highlighting the many subtle textures in the lava creature illustration. Both the text and illustration were hit with a spot varnish to give the 'dark on dark' package a sleek yet elegant look.

02. Clay Street Project press kit folder

The Clay Street Project needed a press kit folder to contain various promotional materials. Studio Lin created this solution, which features an elegant cloth exterior and deep purple interior. A die-cut circle allows the purple to show through. The folder has long clasps which allow it to assemble without the need for glue.

03. Healing Center logo folder

The Healing Center is a place where people are helped and supported in all different facets of life: emotional, financial, physical, spiritual. Providing these services that "help the whole person", Ladd created an identity that is bright yet natural. The imagery and color schemes are hopeful and real, while keeping a modern appearance.

04. Island Conservation embossed presentation folder

This presentation folder by Company Folders for nonprofit group Island Conservation, features the company's logo twice on the cover: once in earthy green and blue PMS ink, and again with the embossed imprint method. Inside, the folder features curved pockets with both business card slits and a brochure slit so that users can insert additional information and media.

05. Nike Free media kit

Working with Fibre and PR Agency The Fish Can Sing, APE created a media kit for a new Nike product 'Nike Free'. This footware was all about simulating the sensation and benefits of running in bare feet. Using a bespoke fold and die cut technique, a booklet containing all the product information and photography opened out to an A0 poster. All packaged in a blind embossed folder containing the materials including a product DVD.

08. Lexmark Ryder Cup folder

This is a completely custom folder created for Lexmark by Nick Basham . It was used to send information to customers they invited to The 37th Ryder Cup, of which Lexmark was a sponsor. The wrap was printed in metallic silver ink and used to seal the folder. Using a wrap allowed the folder to be used for other events or as a standalone. The inside includes an expanding pocket sealed with a magnetic clasp.

09. MR Systems die-cut pocket folder

This double pocket, custom die-cut folder from Mighty 8th Media offers a streamlined, high-class design that carries the MR brand throughout. Utilizing various finishing touches including metallic foils, a custom die-cut pocket, and embossing/debossing techniques, the MR pocket folder really stands out as a showcase piece for the company.

10. House of Blues sales kit

This sales kit for House of Blues regional managers was created by Option-G . The two-color foil stamped folders feature a four-page insert.

Four-colour process folder designs

11. purite corporate presentation folder.

SWATT Design opted for a traditional gate-fold presentation folder for Purite, a water purification company, as this would allow the most space for company information as well as providing a pocket for additional literature. The overall design of the brochure was adapted from the swirl motif that was common on their individual product leaflets, and the HD background was colour coded to match the theme with Purite's preferred colour choice.

12. Sunny Home Real Estate Folder Template

The coloring and style of this folder design from Company Folders makes it appear aged for a rustic, nostalgic appeal, while the delicate, whorled pattern on the back cover gives it a touch of elegance and class. The overall effect makes it perfect for real estate agents who specialize in more quaint, rural properties removed from the hustle and bustle of the city.

13. Flair Magazine presentation folder

This rich, luxurious presentation folder and envelope was created for Flair Magazine's B2B mailing by Belgian studio AVSD01.

14. Lake Geneva Summer Camp presentation folder

This presentation folder promotes Holiday Home Camp, a summer camp for kids located in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Since the cover design consists of a montage of various images, the gatefold die cut along the border of the photos is quite fitting. Full-colour photographs really make it stand out from the crowd.

15. Hawkesbury Regional Museum A4 presentation folder

If You Build It designed this folder referencing imagery from Hawkesbury Regional Museum's archives, remaining dedicated to their cultural and creative roots, whilst also evolving and keeping things contemporary.

17. Noble Gas Solutions presentation folder

When Awesco decided to undertake a ground-up rebrand, it turned to Shannon-Rose who initiated a name-change and root-and-branch redesign. One element of this was this presentation folder which features a design that highlights each area of Noble's gas business, medical, specialty, and industrial.

18. Karin Sprague Sculpted Art presentation folder

Karin Sprague is a stone mason in Rhode Island who crafts stunning headstones and other memorials using only hand-crafted techniques. This art folder design features photography of one of her masterpieces, with details so rich you feel as if you can actually reach out and touch the carving. The company's mission statement is given emphasis on the front cover, as well as a quote from the artist herself.

19. Wenaas Sport og Fritid folder

Wenaas Sport og Fritid AS is a Norwegian importer and distributor of a series of brands within the fields of sports and leisure. The main theme and recognitional item for the company profile is the orange colour, which represents strength and energy, and is central to this folder.

20. Willow Creek Community folder

Willow Creek Assisted Living and Memory Care Community wanted a quality folder highlighting their services with keeping printing cost low. Debra Hartley designed a two-colour folder, inserts and invite to be printed on linen paper to provide a look and feel of comfort and quality.

Presentation Folder Templates: Free Dielines, Mockups, and Designs

For those who lack graphic design experience, the word “template” has become something of a dirty word. It calls to mind cheap cookie-cutter designs stuffed with clip art. But there’s more than one type of template, and many of them are much more than just an easy shortcut; they’re absolutely vital to the print design process.

Any time you design presentation folders , you’re eventually going to need a template at some point—whether you’re forming your initial idea and layout, creating the design itself, or presenting a finished design mockup to your client.

Finding the right template for your project can be challenging. There are lots of them out there, and not all of them are free; you might end up paying for a template only to realize that it’s completely wrong for your pocket folder concept. Fortunately, Company Folders has invested a great deal of time into creating the following free downloads, with each template fashioned to make your design process as smooth and painless as possible.

Mockup Templates

Raw design files aren’t very helpful when you present your work to a client, especially for print projects that need to be folded into shape, such as two pocket folders . Parts of the folder will appear upside-down, which will confuse those who are less familiar with how dielines work. In situations like this, mockup templates are a lifesaver. They allow you to quickly convert your design files into fully realized mockups, so your design will look the way it will when it’s actually printed and folded.

These mockups can be further customized with a background of your choice, so your presentation folders can be set against a wooden table, a grassy field, or another surface or environment.

Front and Inside Folder Mockup Template

This versatile template shows off both the front cover and inside right panel of the folder.

Stacked Presentation Folders Mockup Template

Show your client what their folders will look like fanned out across a table , focusing exclusively on the front cover.

Inside View Two Pocket Folder Mockup Template

This template is most useful when the most interesting elements of a folder design are on its interior, showcasing the pockets and inside panels.

See more Mockup Templates.

Die Cut Templates

Even if you never make use of any other type of template when crafting a presentation folder design, you’re not going to get very far without a die cut template. Also known as “dieline” templates, these function as the canvas upon which you will construct your actual design. Without an appropriate die cut template, a printer will be unable to print your work.

In situations where you don’t actually need your design printed (such as when you don’t have a client and are just experimenting with creating folders), it’s still worth it to use a die cut template. That way, you’ll always have the option to print it later if the need arises. Plus, this will make it easier to apply your design to a mockup template and incorporate it into your portfolio.

4-Color Process Letter Size Two Pocket Folder

Specifically designed for a folder printed with four-color process, this template is a great choice for colorful, cost-effective designs.

6×9 2 Pocket Small Presentation Folder

This template is well-suited for compact, lightweight designs meant to hold leaflets or other smaller materials.

Serpentine Cut Right Pocket Presentation Folder

With its creative, eye-catching pocket, this curvy template is perfect for when you want your design to stand out from the crowd.

See more Die Cut Templates.

Design Templates

Folder design templates give you a pre-made design that you can mix and match with your own images and text. Since practically every element of the template can be replaced with something else, you don’t need to worry about your design looking identical to someone else’s; it’s just a convenient time-saving solution when you need help coming up with a general layout.

Templates are available in both Illustrator and Photoshop formats. Even if you

don’t turn one of these templates into a design of your own, browsing them might just give you the inspiration you need to create something completely original.

Illustrator Templates

Six design services folder and business card template.

Modern typography and a pattern of diagonal lin es give this template a dynamic, energetic feel.

This template makes use of primary colors and creative illustrations to create a warm and welcoming tone.

Rethinking Templates

Don’t think of templates as a lazy way to avoid doing work for your client. Instead, think of them as a way to save valuable time and reinvest it into expressing the creativity and craftsmanship that your client hired you for. Templates function best as a way to enhance the hard work you do, not skirt around it.

Presentation Folder Design Guide

Last updated on November 22nd, 2023 at 01:14 pm

The Importance of Presentation Folder Design

In the professional landscape, a presentation folder is more than a document holder — it’s a branding powerhouse. 

With a creative design, presentation folders can make a great first impression, which is crucial in how your brand is perceived. Whether meeting potential clients, investors, or associates, a meticulously designed folder speaks volumes about your company’s professionalism and attention to detail.

Presentation folder examples abound, but what sets yours apart? It’s the tangible quality that digital methods can’t replicate. A well-crafted folder is a functional, new marketing asset. It continues to promote your company whenever viewed, subtly reinforcing brand recognition and loyalty.

Customization is key. Your folder can tell your brand’s story through its creative elements. 

This is where presentation folder printing services come into play, allowing for high-quality materials, vibrant colors, and precise finishes. These small details can distinguish your brand in a competitive market.

Moreover, the design process doesn’t have to be complex. With easy-to-use tools and templates, you can create compelling pocket folder designs that resonate with your audience and convey your company’s values and identity.

Investing in your presentation folder’s design is not just prudent; it’s essential. As a tangible extension of your brand, it communicates your commitment to excellence and leaves a lasting impression. With this understanding, let’s explore the basics of crafting a memorable presentation folder.

Know The Basics

Sometimes designing for a specific product, like presentation folders, might seem intimidating compared to a simple color copy or business card. But when you break it down to the basics, you will see it’s simple to design a folder!

The initial setup for your presentation folder file should start like any other product that you are designing for print. Open a fresh file in whichever program you feel the most comfortable designing in to start your professional print presentation folders. We recommend designing in InDesign because of the advanced color management and the flexibility of control of your presentation folder design. Verify that the color profile is set for CMYK .

*Pro tip: Printivity offers Pantone color matching and hard copy proofs upon request for color-critical orders.

All images and visual content should be designed at 300 DPI for high-quality folder printing. If content is designed under 300 DPI it runs the risk of being blurry and/or pixelated.

The Right Dimensions

9”x12” is the standard dimension of presentation folders in order to neatly fit letter size sheets in the 4” pockets. Adding pockets is a traditional option for folders, and you can choose to have them on the right side, left side, or both sides.

For the sake of this article, we will use the full bleed dimensions for a folder with both pockets, 16.25” x 18.25”. You will need to extend the background of your design an additional .125” on each side for the full bleed effect. In addition to adding full bleed , please be aware of the folder safety margin, which is the additional .125” from the final “cut line” that starts at 16”x18”. It is important to accommodate for the safety margin in order to avoid the risk of important content from getting cut.

Designing Page 1

Now let’s take a couple steps back. A presentation folder with pockets is printed on a single sheet of paper, folded, and glued for the finished product. Because of this, page 1 of your file will include the outside front and back cover as well as the outside of both pockets. The covers are the top 12” of the file, with the right side being the front cover and the left side being the back cover. The bottom 4” will be the pockets. We’ll get into more details about designing for the folder pockets later on in the article.

Designing Page 2

If you are planning on ordering single-sided printing and you want the interior of the presentation folder to be white, you can skip this section and go straight to pockets! However, if you want to utilize all printing space for branding and advertising, we recommend taking advantage of double-sided printing. This modern approach ensures you have more room for promotional content and keeps your brand at the forefront.

Due to the pockets at the bottom, the top 8” of the folder’s design will be the most visible. It is still recommended to extend your presentation folder design to cover the full sheet for a cohesive look.

When choosing what to include in the design of the interior of the folder, remember that this part of the design will be covered by your brochures, flyers , and other marketing materials. Choose content that emphasizes your brand, separates you from competitors, and leaves a lasting impression. This is a perfect opportunity to incorporate your logo and other key elements of the company identity.

Take Advantage of Printed Pockets

Adding pockets to your custom presentation folders gives you more opportunity to reach your customers. The pockets will be the most visible content when your folder is open, so be sure to include eye-catching images and branding.

Setting up the design for the pockets is the most unique part of designing presentation folders. As previously stated, the pockets will be printed on the same side of the sheet as the outside covers. In order to keep your design in the correct orientation, you will need to flip the pocket design upside down. Also remember that the left pocket will need to be designed on the right side (front cover) of the folder.

Other unique features of the presentation folders pockets are the center die cut and the optional business card slits. Be aware that pocket folders require a diagonal die at the center fold that could cut up to .625” at the farthest point on each side. The best practice would be to keep all important text and content away from this cut line.

Business Card Slots

When your presentation folders include pockets, take advantage of the opportunity to give a customer a small piece of you and your brand to be remembered by. When including business cards in your folder, it comes with numerous options for the orientation and number of slits that hold the card. Business cards are not automatically included, so remember to order custom business cards in your presentation pocket folder order!

You will need to make this decision before completing your presentation folder design, otherwise you run the risk of covering your design. The business card slits will be located in the center of the pocket and approximately 4” long. Horizontal slits are 2.5” in from the center fold and outside cut line, 1” from the top of the pocket, and .75” from the bottom of the pocket. Vertical  slits are 3.25” from the outside cutline and 3.5” from the center fold, and .25” from the top and bottom of the pockets.

Save as PDF-X1a

If you have designed your pocket folder file in Photoshop or Illustrator , you are able to save your file as a PDF-X1a, which is the preferred file format to be submitted to Printivity. Once you have completed your design, go to “File” in the left-hand corner and click “Save As” in the drop down. Change the format to “Adobe PDF” in Illustrator or “Photoshop PDF” in Photoshop in the format field at the bottom, then click “Save”. Another pop-up will appear. In the “General” section update the “Adobe PDF Preset” to “High Quality Print Modified”. Under that, you will need to update the “standard” to “PDF/X-1a”. Before saving, make sure that the compression is set at “Do Not Downsample” in order to maintain high resolution. Once you press “Save PDF” you are done!

If you are unable to save as a PDF-X1a, Printivity also accepts PDF, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign files.

Other Quick Tips For Custom Presentation Folders

Enhancing the utility and attractiveness of your custom presentation folders goes beyond the initial design and print. After all, you’re not just ordering a utility item; you’re investing in a powerful component of your company’s branding. Here are more advanced tips to ensure your folders are not just functional but also aesthetically appealing and memorable:

Select the Right Material: The material of your folder can make a significant difference. A thicker, heavier stock exudes quality and professionalism. Printivity offers a variety of paper stocks, ranging from eco-friendly options to premium, heavy-duty materials that enhance durability and the perceived value of the folder’s contents.

Maintain Color Consistency: When ordering folders, especially in bulk, ensure color consistency across the batch. This maintains a uniform brand image. Printivity utilizes advanced color-matching technology to ensure your hues are consistent and true to your brand.

Choose an Appropriate Finish: While glossy finishes add a bright sheen, there might be better choices for environments with intense light due to glare. Matte finishes, on the other hand, offer a more subdued, sophisticated look and feel, which is perfect for high-end brands or formal events.

Embrace Sustainability: If your company values environmental responsibility, communicate this through your print materials. Opt for recycled or sustainably sourced paper.

Add a Touch of Luxury: Once you have completed the layout and presentation folder design, you are ready to place your order! To add a luxury look to your custom folders, we recommend choosing any of our coating options. Printivity offers two types of gloss coating: UV Coating and Gloss Lamination. Both options add a shiny finish, enhance the colors of your design, and protect your prints from normal wear and tear.

UV Coating is only able to be applied to the outside of the pocket folders regardless of single or double-sided folder printing. While Gloss Lamination would be applied to each side of the folders that have been printed on. For a more soft and dull appearance, we offer Matte Lamination that will be applied to each folder side that printing was ordered.

Instructions for laying out your artwork

• After following the previous instructions you should have a screen that looks Figure 3 at right.
• As you work, try not to move or change the elements in the template.
• If the program you are working in has layers, it is best to keep the template layer locked.
• If the program you are working can lock objects, lock all the elements of the template.
• The template used for these instructions is the template for a 2 pocket presentation folder with business card slits on the inside right pocket.
• The red lines indicate where the folder will be cut out (solid) or folded (dotted). The blue lines indicate where bleeds should be.
• When you are done laying out your artwork, move the template to the top layer. The template contains knockouts for the areas that cannot have ink. These areas are necessary for the glue to stick. (See Figure 7)

• Begin laying out your artwork.
• Remember to include bleeds (light blue shaded areas on the template) if necessary. Figure 4

• There is no bleed on the pocket or the spine. Figure 5
• If your design only has an image on the front, it only needs to bleed 2 sides.
• Leave 1/8″ “Safe” zone from trim and folds (Green area).
• For more information about “Safe Zones,” Click Here While this is for business cards, the principle is the same for any product we print.

• On the template, there are white knockouts on the glue flaps that only allow a 1/8″ bleed. The rest of the flaps need to be kept free of ink so that the glue will stick. Do not put content in this area. Figure 6

• Final outside assembly, laid out flat. The dotted line represents where it will fold. Figure 7

• Final inside assembly, again laid flat. Figure 8

• Note that if you order 4-color on the front and Blank on the back, you can still get printing on the inside pockets which fold up when assembled.
• If you like working with numbers, You can download the file: 9 x 12 Presentation Folder Measurements
• This file has the X-Y Coordinates of all the corners. It also shows the safe zone which is not on the standard template. Figure 9
• This file can also be used for layout if you like.

Instructions for 2 sided printing

• If you are printing on the inside (either 4-color on both sides or 4-color on one side and black on the inside) please download the appropriate template.
• 2 Pockets Inside 1 Pocket Inside Right
• 1 Pocket Inside Left
• Templates for the inside do not contain business card slits, they are on the outside templates only
• Apply the same instructions you used to set up the outside of your folder to set up a file for the inside. You can also just add a second page to your document if that is easier

• Notice this time, the bleeds on the glue flaps are to the outer edges. This is because the glue is on the other side.
• Layout your artwork as before.
• The bleeds on the glue flaps are not for the main background picture. Bleed the picture off the edges that will be trimmed, but not past the dotted fold line on the glue flaps as shown here.

• The bleeds of the glue flaps are there if you choose to print on the inside of the pockets. Figure 12
• This is what it would look like if you wanted to print blue on the inside of the pockets.
• The glue tabs have the blue color so that when they are folded in and the pockets are folded up, everything matches.
• Notice the white knockouts. Once again, this is where the glue needs to stick.

• This is what you end up with inside.
• Remember, the blue on the pockets ended up on the inside of the pockets, not the outside.

Instructions for laying out your artwork as separate pieces

• Panels can be laid out individually

• Or you can combine panels as you wish.

Instructions for working Individual Panels

Instructions for working with Combined Panels

• If you are going to work with combined panels, use following dimensions.
• Large Panels are 9″ x 12″ so you will need to create artwork that is 18″ x 12″.
• If you have content that will go right to the edge, you need to “bleed” off the edge by 1/8″. If your content is to the edge on all sides, your image for the large panels needs to be 18-1/4″ x 12-1/4″.
• Even though the image does not bleed onto the pockets, it is better that you provide bleed on all sides so things get centered properly.
• The pockets are 9″ x 4″ so you need to create artwork that is 18″ x 4″
• Again please provide bleed if the content goes right to the edge.
• Keep in mind that the pockets are 9 inches at the bottom, but only 8-7/8 at the top, so do not get too close to the edge with content.
• If you are printing on both sides all the dimensions remain the same but remember, when the pockets fold up, the will cover the bottom 4″ of the artwork.

Congratulations, your Presentation Folder is now ready!

16 Amazing Presentation Folder Ideas

When you think about it, a presentation folder really is like the wrapping on a gift. Great wrapping paper tells the recipient how much you care by demonstrating the time you spent wrapping it. This builds anticipation for what’s inside. And that’s what a great presentation folder can do for you. Even more than the gift itself, it’s the time that you’ve spent putting everything together that matters.

Your presentation folders should follow this logic. Unlike a wrapping paper that is vague about its contents, a good folder hints at what is inside.

Below are some inspiring examples that can help you to follow this thought process and hopefully move you to improve your materials. For more ideas, you can browse these presentation folders from CompanyFolders.com.

The best part about this piece is its perfectly executed design. It’s simple, the look and feel is consistent across it’s contents and there are no distracting elements to take your focus away from the brand.

A tri-fold design provides a greater surface area to work with. This gives you an opportunity to further push your own unique brand message.

By using a finishing technique similar to a UV gloss, the spot varnish on this folder creates a fantastic looking design element, without the use of color.

Using a creative cover clasp is another effective way to set your piece apart. In this case the clasp is die cut from the inside pocket.

A pattern helps to fill space on your presentation folders without having to rely on an image or some other specific piece of art. If it can be tied to your logo or another of your brand elements, as it is in this case, all the better.

Here’s a great example of using a custom die cut as a way to reinforce other established design elements. In this case it evokes the look and color of the logo by allowing the page behind it to show through.

This is a great reminder about not forgetting to include the back cover when designing your presentation folder. It’s an easy way to expand your content and doesn’t cost anything extra.

A simple, straightforward design will always function the best. Everything is laid out exactly where the audience needs to find it, and your information can be presented in a clear and succinct fashion.

The goal with your presentation folder is to be able to use it with as many of your marketing materials as possible. While it may seem that there is a lot going on, in terms of images and graphics, it still is versatile enough where it can be used regardless of the contents of the folder.

Clean and concise layouts lead to great results. The example illustrates that point perfectly. The use of color on the inside of the folder is inviting and provides good relief to the cover as well as the pocket.

These are all great examples of the potential that can be achieved with your presentation folders. The key is to remember that the content is the most important part. If you keep this in mind, you’ll go far in creating a versatile and effective folder that reflects well on your company and provides critical information to your clients.

I’m shopping for presentation folders and wanted to see how much each folder costs? I’d be placing a small order to start, say 25 to 50 folders. Can I get sample pricing (I won’t hold you to it, just a ballpark idea?)

Robert Gertz

Company Folders > Blog > The Ultimate Guide to Presentation Folder Styles

The Ultimate Guide to Presentation Folder Styles

Folder styles are unique like snowflakes in that no two custom presentation folders are ever alike. Each folder is tailored to the specifications of the business it represents, both in design and function. The best folder styles fully satiate the needs of your business by giving you the organizational comfort you desire and the bold graphic design that best represents your company.

Pocket Folder

An example of a pocket folder.

The pocket folder is the standard of all folder styles. This bi-fold folder has a built-in pocket for storing documents and files. Depending on your particular needs, pocket folders can be outfitted with a single pocket to three pockets and come with a variety of special features, from CD folder slots to die cut folder windows . Not only do pocket folders keep your files secured, they are easily customizable with a plethora of options to choose from.

Tri-Fold Presentation Folder

An example of a tri-fold presentation folder.

A tri-fold folder features the addition of an extra panel, giving you more room to put documents or build brand awareness. The panels fold one onto another, so it’s like having two front covers to show off your company. Each panel can be outfitted with a pocket for better storage and organization. Tri-fold gives you the option to be a little more creative with your customization options, with a design that carries over from one panel to the next.

Gatefold Presentation Folder

An example of a gatefold folder.

Gatefold is one of the more creative folder styles because it opens up in the center like a gate, instead of from the side like a book. Gatefold provides you with a unique canvas for your imagination and tempts recipients to open up to see what’s inside. Gatefold folders come outfitted with one or three pockets for storage, with the center pocket unattached so that it can fold down.

Landscape Presentation Folder

An example of a landscape folder design.

Landscape presentation folder styles are like the widescreen movies of presentation materials. The horizontal setting gives you more space to work with, letting you use bigger photos and bolder designs when customizing your folder. Most people are used to seeing folders in the portrait style , so using a landscape style of folder lets you stand out among the crowd and make a big impact.

Belly Band Folder Package

An example of a belly band presentation folder package

When you have a great deal of information to provide, you want it wrapped up in a neat package. The belly band folder package has a place for your business cards and documents, bound up with a custom folder clasp . Belly band folders are made with aesthetic in mind, giving you plenty of design options from the folder clasp to the accompanying business cards.

Pocket Folder with Info Flap

An info flap gives you extra space to tell the story of your business.

If you just need a little extra room to help sell your message, the pocket folder with info flap is your best choice. The additional 3 3/4″ of space can be a big help if you want to add company information, images or other important tidbits. Info flaps provide an alternative to tri-fold folders by giving you the extra design room without having to sacrifice the storage room. Since the info flap sticks out, it ensures that recipients will pay attention to what it has to say.

Vertical Pocket Presentation Folder

An example of a presentation folder with a vertical pocket.

Vertical pocket folder styles have the pocket going up and down the folder instead of across. The vertical pocket can be customized, providing you with extra space for additional information or branding opportunities. Vertical pockets give you more interior room to work with when designing your folder. Since we read vertically down a page, information on a vertical pocket is easier to read and attracts the eye.

Tuck Tab Presentation Folder

A folder with a tuck tab design.

The best folder styles reinforce your brand identity. If you have an image, logo or picture you want recipients to remember, use a tuck tab presentation folder . The cover is slightly smaller than the back, so your image will start on the front and continue in the interior, making it the focus of your design. Tuck tabs can also be customized with different closures, allowing you to keep the contents of your folder secure no matter what.

Presentations folder styles are always changing and evolving, so find out what’s available to you before you make a purchase. You just might find that breaking away from a traditional folder design is the best way to express your company’s image.

Our Expertise in Presentation Folder Printing

What’s in a name? Folders, Presentation folders, Pocket Folders, Custom Printed Folders. By any term, customized professional pocket folders are what we do --- and we're very good at it.

We realize that the folders you intend to order are mainly for marketing or branding purposes — either for yourself or you clients. Which means impression and quality are of vital importance. This is where we concentrate our efforts: into helping you achieve that objective.

Honed by 40 years in the specialty-printing field, Folderprinters has become a leading figure in the manufacture of custom printed presentation folders.

Unlike simple items such as flyers, business cards or brochures, which can be mindlessly churned out, pocket folders go through several processes from printing to die-cutting and assembly.

Our extensive experience in producing intricate and complicated printed pieces of varying shapes and configuration have made it a natural — and easy — transition when we focused on professional presentation folders, many years ago.

By utilizing the best materials, machinery, technology, and craftsmanship, you can be assured that the quality of your folder will come out second to none.

If you’d like to get the measure of the quality of our work, simply request a free sample packet. free sample packet .-->

But our services don’t start and end there. The quality of the physical product is one thing, aesthetics are another. Should you need help with creating your folder design, we offer a free online design tool.

Above all, we care about your complete satisfaction. Our team members are always available to take your calls and answer your questions or concerns, even give guidance in the process of making your presentation folder.

Our Technology and Craftsmanship Working for Your
