Paper folders, also known as file folders or document folders, are essential office supplies used for organizing and storing paper documents. They come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, and play a crucial role in maintaining a neat and orderly filing system.
Size:
- Standard Sizes: Paper folders are typically available in standard sizes such as letter (8.5 x 11 inches) and legal (8.5 x 14 inches). Choose the size that accommodates the documents you plan to store in the folders.
- Custom Sizes: Depending on your specific needs, may opt for custom sizes for your paper folders.
Paper Quality:
Paper Weight: The weight of paper used for folders is measured in pounds or grams per square meter (gsm). Heavier paper stock is more durable and provides a higher-quality feel. Common weights for folders range from 80gsm to 120gsm for standard folders, while heavier cardstock may be used for more rigid or premium options.
Finish: Consider the finish of the paper, such as matte, glossy, or satin. The finish can affect the look and feel of the folder.
Binding Method:
- Pocket Folders: These are folders with pockets on the inside to hold loose papers. They are usually open at the top and may have one or two pockets.
- Fasteners: Some folders have built-in fasteners or prongs to secure hole-punched documents. This is common in classification folders or folders with multiple sections.
- Binding Glue: Traditional folders may be bound using glue along the seams. Ensure the glue is strong and durable.
- Stitched Bindings: Some premium or custom folders may feature stitched bindings for added strength and a polished look.
Design Considerations:
Die-Cut Windows: If you want to showcase a part of the content on the folder, die-cut windows can be incorporated.
Embossing or Foiling: For a more sophisticated look, consider adding embossed or foiled elements to the folder.
Color Printing:
- Full Color vs. Spot Color: Decide whether you want full-color printing or spot-color printing based on your design and budget requirements.
Quantity:
- Digital vs. Offset Printing: Digital printing is suitable for smaller quantities, while offset printing becomes more cost-effective for larger print runs.
