If you’re considering a printer, take a chance on these friendly, reliable folks—they truly value your business. - Chad Townsend, Creator of The Black Phantom.
But working with Nelson was an absolute pleasure. He patiently addressed all my concerns, and my final printed book was just as I would hope it would be.
Presentation Folder Styles
Your choice of paper and special finishes will depend on the style and format of your presentation folder design. With so many options available, we’re happy to help you choose the best solution for your needs. Here’s a quick overview of the most popular styles.
Our most popular presentation folder styles include:
Single Pocket Folder
These standard folders feature a single pocket on the right-hand side, typically 100 mm high. The pocket doesn’t need to be square—we can shape it to suit your design. They’re perfect for holding documents, reports, product booklets, flyers, and leaflets.
Two-Pocket Folder
A popular option, the two-pocket folder includes pockets on both the left and right inner sides. We can place the pockets at the bottom or along the sides, and add slits for business cards if needed.
Three-Pocket Tri-Folder
This design features two folds, creating a central panel with two overlapping wings, similar to a tri-fold brochure but on a larger scale. Each panel includes its own pocket—ideal for organising materials into sections.
Folder with a Spine
These folders are perfect when you need to include a larger quantity of documents. Designed like a paperback book cover, they feature a flat spine between the front and back panels, offering extra capacity. The spine can also be printed with your logo or other branding elements if the width allows.
Fully Customised Folders
With this option, your creativity sets the limit. Go beyond the basics with unique shapes, die-cut details, metallic effects, gloss varnishes, textured or coloured papers, and bespoke pockets for business cards, pens, or corporate gifts.
We recommend laminating your folders—on one or both sides—to protect them from wear and tear and keep them looking professional. Choose from gloss, matte, or soft-touch finishes depending on the effect you want.
Presentation Folder Size Options
At QinPrinting, we offer a complete custom presentation folder printing service. We use digital machines to produce hard proofs for checking colour accuracy and print quality. Once everything’s approved, we print your final folders using our high-end offset press—delivering exceptional, professional results with crisp colour or black-and-white reproduction. Offset printing also offers a significant price advantage over digital on larger print runs.
The most common and practical size for presentation folders is 9″ x 12″ (230 mm x 310 mm). This format fits comfortably into a briefcase or display stand and neatly holds A4 or legal-size documents.
While most clients opt for standard sizes and folds, we’re more than happy to help you fully customise your presentation folder design. Just keep in mind that non-standard sizes may involve additional setup and turnaround time due to the extra pre-press work involved. But if you can imagine it—and it’s physically possible—we’ll print it. That’s what we do!
Paper Options for Presentation Folders
Gloss, matte, and uncoated stocks
At QinPrinting, we offer a wide range of premium paper options for printing presentation folders. Most folders need to be durable while also looking polished and professional—often featuring important visuals such as logos, photography, or branding artwork. That’s why we typically recommend 300 gsm / 200 lb gloss or matte cover paper. This stock delivers vibrant image reproduction, a clean finish, and the strength needed to protect the contents inside.
That said, we offer many other excellent options depending on your project. For instance, uncoated paper may be suitable for simpler designs with minimal graphics, or for short-term use where a high-gloss finish isn’t necessary.
Here’s a helpful overview of our most commonly used stocks:
- 250 gsm / 169 lb gloss art paper
- 300 gsm / 203 lb gloss art paper
- 250 gsm / 169 lb matte art paper
- 300 gsm / 203 lb matte art paper
Choosing the right paper might seem overwhelming at first, but we’re here to help. Our team can recommend the best stock for your design, purpose, and budget. And if you’d like to see and feel the difference for yourself, just ask—we’ll gladly send you free paper samples by post.
Special Finishes, Lamination, and Foil Stamping
Your presentation folder is more than just a container—it’s a direct reflection of your brand. To make a lasting impression and stand out from the crowd at a conference, trade fair, or business meeting, your folder needs to be eye-catching and memorable. That’s why QinPrinting offers a full range of premium finishes to give your folders a truly professional edge.
Some of our most popular finishing options include:
Shiny and reflective, perfect for vibrant graphics and photos.
Glossy highlights on specific areas for a striking contrast.
Smooth and non-reflective for a simple yet professional design.
Similar to matte lamination, but the resulting surface has a delightful, almost velvet feel.
A glossy finish applied to specific areas for a bold and distinct look.
Metallic or pigmented foil for a shiny, eye-catching effect.
Raised designs for added texture and elegance.

Presentation Folder Design and Artwork Tips
Whether you’re designing your presentation folder in-house or working with a professional graphic designer, it’s essential to prepare your artwork properly for printing. A well-prepared file ensures the final product looks polished, prints accurately, and avoids costly delays.
Here are a few key things to keep in mind:
Export your files as vectors in PDF format for the best results. Our recommended software for flyer design are Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign. These will also allow you to convert your colour space from RGB to CMYK, which you'll need to do for offset printing.
If you can't deliver vectors — for example, if you're exporting bitmaps from Photoshop — then ensure the resolution is at least 300 dpi. With vectors, you don't need to worry about resolution, but all other images must have a high definition to tolerate resizing without becoming fuzzy or "pixelated".
You'll need to add a bleed zone of 3 mm around all your photographic images and artwork. A bleed is an extended area around the edges of your images, which falls outside the area your finished panel will cover. Once we've printed your flyers, we'll cut them to the exact size needed for your chosen format. This "bit extra" gets trimmed off and ensures the finished image fills the sheet without any white edges.
Inside your bleed zone, don't forget to mark the trim lines. These define the final dimensions of the finished flyer. Make sure that any important elements of your images stop at least 5 mm inside the trim line.
A competent graphic designer should understand these technical details and be able to set this up for you. But we’ll always manually check your files before going to press. While the responsibility for sending “print-ready” files is yours, please don’t worry! We’ll be happy to guide you through the process, explain what’s needed, and liaise with your designer to make sure everything goes smoothly so you end up with a perfect print every time.
