Popular Folder Sizes

We offer a variety of folder sizes to suit different document types, presentation purposes, and promotional needs:

9″ × 12″ is the most widely used standard presentation folder size, perfectly designed to hold letter-size (8.5″ × 11″) documents without folding. Ideal for corporate presentations, proposals, reports, and marketing materials.

Other Popular Sizes:

  • 9.5″ × 14.5″: Specifically designed for legal-size documents, providing extra length to keep important paperwork flat and organized.

In addition to these common options, we also provide fully customized sizes to meet your specific branding and functional requirements.

Paper Options for Folder Printing

We provide a variety of paper options for custom folder printing to suit different needs and durability requirements. Most folders feature logos, graphics, or artwork on the cover, while the inside is typically unprinted yet remains sturdy for practical use. For this type, we recommend 250gsm / 12 pt or 300gsm / 14 pt C1S paper, which delivers vibrant, high-quality printing on the front and offers reliable thickness to protect contents.

For folders requiring full-color printing on both sides, 200–300gsm (135 lb – 203 lb text) glossy or matte art paper ensures sharp, vivid visuals. You can enhance durability and appearance with glossy, matte, or soft-touch lamination on one or both sides.

If your folder only needs simple cover text and is intended for short-term use, uncoated paper provides a natural look, smooth writeable surface, and an eco-friendly choice without sacrificing print quality.
