Folders

Folders are made from either 400gm, 280gm Gloss or Matt Art card printed on one or both sides in either Spot Colour or Full Colour. The standard folders can be specified for either A4 or A5 size inserts. We also have a ‘Design Your Own Folder’ section where any other folder can be priced.

To complement our standard Full Colour Printing we also offer Hexachrome Printing (Six Colour Printing) and Metal FX (Metallic printing) on our standard stock.

Hexachrome can produce exceptional results, particularly for jobs which call for vivid oranges and greens. It involves the combination of six colours, rather than the usual four in conventional printing to produce the full rainbow spectrum. For more information on this printing process click here. For examples of Hexachrome Printing please give us a call.

Metal FX is a relatively new process and we are one of very few printers worldwide to have passed the strict criteria to be licensed to use the system. Metal FX allows any number of Metallic colours to be produced on the same page with Full Colour.

Please Note:
Where colour extends across folds we strongly recommend lamination to minimise the risk of 'white cracking'.


Finishing Options

Lamination

Folders can be laminated with Gloss or Matt laminate on one or both sides. We are also able to Spot UV varnish (at an extra cost), please ask for details.

Assembly

Folders are supplied flat with interlocking pockets for easy assembly or applied with double sided tape at time of use. Alternatively they can be supplied fully assembled if preferred.Please Note: Assembled folders are very bulky. We may have to revise our carriage cost to reflect volume rather than weight.

Gussets

All folder designs can be specified as Gusseted or Ungusseted. Ungusseted folders are perfect for holding the equivalent of around 10 80gm sheets of paper. If substantially more inserts are proposed then gusseted folders are recommended.

Business Card Slots

All folders can be supplied with slots to hold a business card on either the vertical or horizontal flaps at an extra charge (A4 folders only). If this option is required, please specify card position at the time of ordering. *(Bottom flap or side flap).
