What are Presentation Folders?

Presentation folders, also known as pocket folders or portfolios, are durable folders designed to store and organize documents typically handed out during sales meetings or presentations. Beyond keeping your materials secure, these folders act as a powerful tool to introduce and promote your organization to potential clients while reinforcing a professional image with existing ones. A high-quality presentation folder communicates that your company is organized and operates with professionalism.

Typically, presentation folders are printed on both the front and back covers. Printing on the interior pocket flaps is also popular and usually involves minimal additional cost. You can choose from one-color, two-color, or full-color printing depending on your budget and the impression you want to make. To add a touch of elegance, metallic foil stamping and embossing are sometimes used alone or alongside printed designs.

Presentation folders come in various sizes and styles, but the most common size is 9" x 12" when closed. This size offers an economical solution and comfortably holds brochures, sales materials, contracts, and other documents up to 8.5" x 11". The standard design features two interior pockets with horizontal flaps, though many other pocket configurations are available to suit your needs.

Durability is key, so presentation folders are typically crafted from heavy cardstock to ensure long-lasting use. Additional features such as reinforced edges, business card slots, and expandable spines can enhance functionality. Most folders also have a clear protective coating—such as UV or aqueous finishes—or sometimes a plastic laminate to safeguard the printed surface.

For a more creative touch, consider our selection of die-cut options that create sculptured pockets. Unlike traditional rectangular pockets, these uniquely shaped pockets grab attention and can be printed with artwork that complements your presentation's theme and strengthens your corporate identity.
