A presentation folder is a non-rigid folder that can hold inserts such as catalogs, letters, contracts, carbonless forms and any other type of documents that should be kept together and as a unit. These folders are usually made out of beautiful coverstock materials, printed either on the outside or both the outside and the inside. When a company is providing an estimate for a job, or when a purchase of a valuable good has taken place, a presentation folder is usually the tool used to secure the documents. The printing is used to provide identity and advertising to whoever is in possession of a presentation folder. In order to be able to hold the documents without those falling, it is customary to have two pockets built into the folder. To reinforce identity and provide contact information, a slit is usually made available to insert standard-size business cards.These folders do not have rings.
The most common printing method is curently full color printing with a coating on top of the printing. The options of what sits on top of the ink are many and range from traditional shiny UV coatings, to matte silky-feeling coatings, foil applications to 3-D raised UV. Years ago the most common printing options requested were a one-PMS color, but our current modern technology makes it trendier, nicer and more appealing to print in full color.
The mores pospular sizes are those that accomodate the documents that are most commonly handled: To keep letter-size documents, 8.5"x11", the size of the folder is 9"x12".To keep half-letter-size documents, 5.5"x8.5", the size of the folder is 6"x9".To keep legal-size documents, 8.5"x14.0", the size of the folder is 9"x14.5". There are many other custom sizes that serve specific uses, such as small folders or six-panel folders as well
The documents inserted into presentation folders are usually important and it is expected that they will be kept for a long time. Since the size of the folders is large, people can easily find them and thanks to the branding that can be printed, easily distinguishable.The long term marketing value of presentation folders is very high, espercially for certain trades such as construction, legal services, acquisition of valuable goods, as examples.

Matt Finish - Dull the stock is covered with a matt-finish varnish that makes the piece look matte as opposed to the brightness and reflective features described before
