Presentation Folders Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a standard presentation folder?
The folded size of a standard presentation folder is 9 x 12 inches, or 12 x 18 inches opened flat. It is designed to hold standard 8.5 x 11 inch sheets of printed material in the folder pockets.
Can I print non-standard presentation folder sizes?
Just about any custom size folder can be made. 6″ x 9″ and 4″ x 9″ folders are common mini-folder sizes, and legal size 9 x 14.5 inch folders are commonly produced and used in some industries, such as legal and financial, to hold standard 8.5 x 14 legal size paper.
Can I have a folder made from custom or specialty papers?
Yes, they can be made from most cover stocks including dull or matte stocks, either white or colored uncoated or textured stocks with linen, laid, felt or other special finishes, and various grades of recycled papers.
Can I have a pocket on only one side?
Yes, you can have one pocket on either the left or right side if you don’t want the standard two pocket format.
Can I print on the inside of my presentation folder?
Yes, you can print any combination of colors, including black, PMS inks or full color on the inside of the folder. The outside of the pockets are printed with the front and folded in, so two sided printing is not required for that.
What custom options are available for presentation folders?
Some of the many available custom printing and finishing options are die cutting, embossing, foil stamping, flood or spot UV coating, matte coating, PMS inks, Soft Touch® coating, increased capacity folders with spines, additional panels, custom pocket sizes and shapes, and more.
What type of slits can I get on presentation folder pockets?
Either or both pockets can have slits to hold a vertical or horizontal business card, a CD, mini-CD or DVD, or a brochure or other printed piece.
Can you insert items into my presentation folder for me?
Yes. We can print and insert a complete presentation kit and ship them completed to you or destinations such as trade shows or conventions, or mail them to specific individuals in a mailing envelope. Common inserts include sell sheets, flyers, brochures, catalogs and cover letters. Shrink wrapping is also available for extra protection during shipping and handling.
Can I have inserts stapled or glued into my folder?
Yes, a large brochure or catalog can be stapled into the spine for a classy and permanent product catalog or sales presentation with additional materials in the pockets. Printed pieces, including notepads, can be glued into the inside of the folder.
Are presentation folder templates available?
We have templates for standard size folders with common options for both PC and Mac platforms. Check with us for non-standard sizes and options.

4 Ways to Make Your Folder a Success

- LAYOUT Make sure your custom images and graphics appear just where you want them – use Printing for Less folder layout guides to cover your bases for any pre-press program you use
- SIZE MATTERS Standard folders come in 9″ x 12″, but think ahead about what you want inside – some presentation materials might require a custom size
- ADAPTABILITY While presentation material inside may change, your folders don’t have to – keep your designs generic enough to adapt, and save money on future printing costs

4 Ways to Make Your Company Shine
Creating marketing materials can be a challenging task for any business. From business cards to letterhead, postcards, brochures and catalogs, the amount of different products businesses use to promote and sell their products and services can be overwhelming.
One product that many businesses use but may not take full advantage of is the presentation folder. A well-designed presentation folder says a lot about your company, its style, level of professionalism and can set the tone of a meeting or new product launch. A poorly designed folder, with dark or muddy images on subpar paper doesn’t portray the level of service you and your company is capable of.
A well designed presentation folder introduces your company to a prospective customer properly, and is a key tool that you can use to leave a lasting impression with that customer. Presentation folders are a great vehicle for your brochures and product sheets, and if the “outer wrapping” doesn’t inspire much confidence or interest, why would your customers want to open it?
Let’s look at four key points to keep in mind when you are designing your presentation folder or pocket folder to get the most “wow factor” possible, and give your competition a run for their money.
1. Choose your target and overall style first. Once you know who you are going after (new customers, prospects, existing customers, etc.) then focus on the look and feel of the folder. Depending upon your company and the end use of the folder, you may want a look that is casual, professional or very minimal, with few colors or details. Do not try to be all things with this one piece of your marketing collateral.
2. Use fonts, colors and information wisely, if not sparingly. More than two or three font styles can be distracting from the point you are trying to drive home. The same goes for color-often just a few key colors (or even black and white) create a powerful visual design for your presentation folder. Keep the information simple and straightforward, putting the most emphasis on your most key points: new products, services, sales, store opening, etc. Don’t clutter up the folder with tons of information; use what is inside the folder to inform and educate them with your sell sheets and brochures.
3. Paper is an important consideration. Glossy, matte or uncoated stocks give the recipient a different feel, and the look of your logo or message can many times be enhanced by the correct paper choice. Conversely, the “wrong” paper can dull images or take away from that snappy logo you have, so do your homework. Talk with your printer, request samples and see what matches up best with the look you are going for.
4. Proofread everything! A well designed presentation folder, on the right paper, with the right message and eye-catching photos will fall short of doing its job if there is a glaring typo in it. A small error or misspelling, while seemingly small, can have a big end effect, one that will erode your prospect’s confidence in you and your company. Why would they spend their money with you when you can’t even spell? Seems harsh, but it is true. Have several people look it over before you send it off to the printer, then look at it again.
In the end, the key is to think of your presentation folder as a billboard for you and your company. It can start the conversation with your customer, and is something that will stay with them, continuing to build your brand after you leave. Don’t take the design lightly-look for ways to make your presentation folder stand out and deliver your message and you will be that much closer to another sale or customer.
Presentation Folder Marketing
With branded presentation folders, you can really say a lot before you say anything at all. Custom printed presentation folders have many marketing uses, including new product launches, business proposals, welcome packages, orientation kits, trade show materials, customer service agreements, and much more!
Printing for Less has versatile design options that are available to meet your marketing needs. We can print a standard size 9″ x 12″ folder or just about any custom size, thanks to our exact die cutting. Your folders can be printed on the outside with the inside either left blank or printed. Pocket folders have pockets on one or both sides to hold and organize your other printed marketing materials. The pockets can have slits to hold business cards or a mini-CD or DVD on one or both pockets. Special PMS or metallic inks with a dull or gloss spot varnish and UV coating can make your folder really stand out.
