All our folders are oversized to ensure your A4 or A5 documents fit comfortably inside with extra room to spare. Choosing the right assembly style depends on your storage space and how you intend to use the folders.
Folder Assembly Styles
We offer three distinct finishes to suit your distribution needs.
- Interlocking: Supplied flat for self-assembly. These use a die-cut tab and slot system to secure the pocket, making them ideal for high-volume storage.
- Taped: Supplied flat for self-assembly, featuring pre-applied double-sided tape for a permanent, secure bond.
- Glued: Supplied fully assembled and ready to use. The pockets are pre-glued during the production process for maximum convenience.
Artwork Requirements
When supplying artwork for folders, precision is critical to ensure your design aligns with the physical folds and pockets. Please upload a single PDF containing the following pages:
Single-Sided (Outside Only)
If you only require printing on the exterior of the folder and the pocket, you must supply a two-page PDF.
- Page 1 (Reference): Supply one page showing your outside artwork (Back Cover and Front Cover) with the cutter guide overlaid. This allows our team to verify that your logos and text are positioned correctly within the folds.
- Page 2 (Print-Ready): Supply the same layout containing only your print-ready artwork. The cutter guide must be removed from this page.
Double-Sided (Outside & Inside)
For folders that require printing on the interior of the folder as well as the exterior, you must supply a four-page PDF.
- Page 1 & 2 (Reference): Supply two pages—one for the Outside (Back/Front) and one for the Inside (Left/Right)—with the cutter guide overlaid on both for alignment verification.
- Page 3 & 4 (Print-Ready): Supply the corresponding two pages containing only your print-ready artwork with all cutter guides removed.
Using Templates
To guarantee a perfect result, we recommend using our pre-set templates.
- Alignment: Simply overlay your artwork onto the template to ensure all folds, pockets, and business card slots are positioned correctly.
- Bleed: Ensure your background colours and images extend to the bleed line of the template to avoid white edges after die-cutting.
