Folders are made from either 280gm Gloss Art or 400gm Matt Art Card. They are printed on one or both sides in either Spot Colour or Full Colour. Standard Folders can be specified for either A4 or A5 size inserts.
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 up to ten sheets of 80gm paper. A 2mm Gusseted Folder can hold the equivalent of twenty sheets of 80gm paper and a 4mm Gusseted Folder the equivalent of forty sheets.
