Glued Presentation Folder Specification Options.

When ordering your glued folders from Prontaprint, you have a range of customisable specifications to make your folders truly unique and aligned with your brand:

Folder Type:
These folders come with a glued flap which secures the pocket in place and gives your finished product a quality feel.

Sizes:
Choose from standard oversized A4 and A5 folder templates (downloads available under the product image). Or request a custom size to suit specific needs.

Printing:
Our full-colour printing ensures vibrant and high-quality images, while black-and-white options are also available for more minimalist designs. We can print on one or both sides to maximise visual appeal.

Paper Stock:
Our standard folder weight is 350gsm card, either silk or uncoated. You can upgrade to 400gsm card for extra durability.

Paper Types:
Choose between gloss, silk or uncoated paper finishes to give your booklets a striking look. Gloss and silk provide a shiny, vibrant finish, perfect for full-colour images, while uncoated offers a more muted, smooth finish for a sophisticated touch.

Folder Capacity:
Consider what you would like to put in your Folder Pocket. At Prontaprint we can produce glued presentation folders with:
  • 0mm Capacity: Suitable for a few fact sheets or flyers.
  • 3mm Capacity: Allowing you to add a booklet or brochure.
  • 5mm Capacity: Giving you more room for multiple documents.
  • 10mm Capacity: Providing you with real scope for additional publications.
When '2 pockets' and a capacity are selected, the spine width will be double the capacity, e.g. a 5mm capacity will have a 10mm spine.

Business Card Slots:
Business card slots are small, diagonal slits cut into the folder pocket, which allow you to fix your business card in place and ensure your customer receives a personal communication.

Finishes:
Enhance and protect your glued folder with a laminate. Choose from gloss, matt, soft touch or anti scuff lamination for a polished, professional appearance. Spot UV varnish, Embossing, Debossing and Foiling is also available for added visual impact.

Top Tips:

When designing and ordering glued presentation folders, there are a few things to keep in mind to get the most out of your investment. Follow these top tips to ensure your folders look and perform at their best:

  • Plan Your Design in Advance:
    Identify the folder template which suits your needs before you make a start on the design. Consider the publications you want to add into the folder pocket and how you want the client to receive the information.
  • Choose the Right Size:
    How are you handing these to customers? If they are going in the post, consider the size limitations. Our folders are oversized to ensure they fit standard UK documents inside them. If you are planning on posting these to customers or clients, consider A5 Glued Folders, we also have some A4 Glued Folders which can fit inside Large Letter envelopes.
  • Consider Your Folder Limitations:
    Although we can print on both sides of your folder, consider the area your inserted publication and pocket will cover, on the inner page design.
  • Proofread Your Content:
    Always double-check for any mistakes before sending your files for print. High-quality design paired with flawless content ensures the best results.
  • Use High-Quality Images:
    Glued Folders are a visual medium, so make sure to use high-resolution images for the best print quality (300dpi or more). Low-quality images can look pixelated and diminish the professional look of your folder.
  • Check Bleed and Safezones:
    Ensure your design includes a 3mm bleed to avoid any unwanted white borders or cut-off text by applying a minimum 3mm safezone margin. Use our Design Support service, where we will guide you to 'How to Design' videos and or offer you design support via our experienced team.
  • Print Extra Folders:
    It's always better to have a few extra copies than to run out. Ordering in bulk can also save re-print costs, so estimate your needs carefully.
  • Read our Blog on The importance of Brand Guidelines and how your design continuity is key for brand awareness.
