What is included in custom presentation folder printing?

Presentation folder printing at MPA covers the packet, not just the folder: we print the sell sheets, proposals, and tabbed inserts that go inside, so the set ships together. Pockets and business-card slits are die-cut from a die proofed against your artwork, typically on 14pt, 16pt, or 100lb cover. Most jobs ship a few business days after proof approval, with rush available.

Why MPA for Folders · No. 01

Print, die-cut, and fold, one job, one schedule.

A presentation folder is really three jobs in one: a printed sheet, a die-cut pocket, and a clean fold. MPA manages all three as one job, with one proof and one schedule, so the pockets line up, the fold is crisp, and the schedule stays in our hands.

01 / 03

One job, one schedule

Pockets and business-card slits are die-cut from a die proofed against your artwork before the run, so the print and the cut register and the whole folder moves on one schedule.

02 / 03

Built for business volume

A short run for a single pitch or thousands for a multi-office sales program - we are set up for both. Recurring folder programs can be standardized so you are not re-specifying the die wave after wave.

03 / 03

Ships anywhere in the US

From one Lakeland facility we serve commercial customers across all 50 states. Orders ship boxed to protect the fold, and when we print the inserts too, the whole set goes out together.

What They Are

The folder that carries the pitch.

A presentation folder is the cover for everything you hand a prospect: the proposal, the spec sheets, the case study, the rep's card. It is the first thing seen and the last thing left behind, and a well-made one signals that the company inside takes itself seriously.

The anatomy

Pocket, Slit, Fold

A

The standard 9 x 12 folder swallows letter-size pages with room to spare. One or two die-cut pockets hold the contents, a diagonal slit grips a business card, and a clean score-and-fold keeps the whole thing flat and sharp.

  • 9 x 12 holds 8.5 x 11 inserts with margin
  • Single or double die-cut pockets
  • Business-card slit for the rep's card
  • Scored and folded to lie flat
Where they work

Sales, Proposals, Onboarding

B

Anywhere a company hands over a set of documents and wants them to feel organized and intentional. A folder turns a loose stack into a packet a prospect keeps on their desk instead of in the recycling.

  • Sales kits and leave-behinds
  • Proposals and capabilities decks
  • Client onboarding and welcome packets
  • Conference and event handouts
Options

Build the folder to fit the contents.

Pockets, stock, and finish are choices, not a fixed menu. The right build follows from what goes inside: how many pieces, how they are grouped, and how much handling the folder will see.

Standard
9 x 12
The classic pocket folder that holds letter-size inserts.
Single Pocket
One clean compartment for a lean sales kit.
Double Pocket
Two compartments to separate proposal and collateral.
Card Slit
Diagonal slit that grips a standard business card.
Heavy Stock
14pt, 16pt, or 100lb cover so it holds its shape.
Custom
Different size or pocket layout? Tell us what fits inside.

Not sure which build? Most sales kits run single pocket with a card slit; proposals with supporting collateral run double pocket. Either way, the quote lists the die, stock, and finish as their own lines.

Stock & Finishes

Pick the surface that sets the first impression.

A folder is held before it is read, so the finish does the first talking. Choose the coating that fits the job, on heavy cover stock that keeps the folder from feeling flimsy.

FOLDER COVER
Velvet
PREMIUM FEEL
◆ SOFT-TOUCH LAMINATE
01 / 03 Most premium

Soft-Touch Laminate

A velvety surface that feels expensive.

A matte film with a suede-like hand that signals quality the instant it is picked up. The move for high-stakes proposals and executive leave-behinds.

PICK IFYou want the folder to feel premium in hand.
SKIP IFYou want the brightest, most saturated color.
FOLDER COVER
Vivid
HIGH SHINE
◆ GLOSS & UV COATING
02 / 03 Maximum punch

Gloss & UV Coating

The brightest, glossiest finish.

A reflective coated surface that makes logos and photography pop, with UV available for extra gloss and scuff resistance. Best when the cover is image-driven.

PICK IFThe cover is photo- or color-driven and needs to grab attention.
SKIP IFYou prefer a quiet, fingerprint-resistant matte.
FOLDER COVER
Refined
NO GLARE
◆ MATTE ON HEAVY COVER
03 / 03 Understated

Matte on Heavy Cover

Flat, glare-free, and substantial.

A non-reflective coating on 14pt, 16pt, or 100lb cover that reads as understated and resists fingerprints. Pairs well with type-led, professional brand systems.

PICK IFYou want a clean, professional, fingerprint-resistant cover.
SKIP IFYou want the most saturated possible color.

Pocket Depth

Standard or custom pocket depth so the contents sit secure without sticking up too far - tuned to how full the folder runs.

Matching Inserts

Sell sheets, proposal pages, and tabbed dividers print here too, sized to the pocket, so the packet leaves as one coordinated set.

Premium or practical? Soft-touch is the usual pick for executive leave-behinds; matte is the workhorse for intake and onboarding packets. Either way, stock and finish appear as their own lines on the quote.

Use Cases

What our customers use folders for.

Six of the jobs our customers order folders for most, and what each one usually holds.

B2B Sales Kits

The leave-behind a rep hands across the table - product sheets, pricing, and a business card in one organized packet.

Proposals & Bids

A double-pocket folder that separates the proposal from supporting collateral and makes a bid look as considered as it is.

Capabilities Decks

The overview packet a firm leaves at the end of a meeting - who we are, what we do, and how to reach us, in one cover.

Client Onboarding

A welcome packet that bundles agreements, getting-started guides, and contacts so a new client feels taken care of from day one.

Real Estate Packets

Listing presentations and buyer packets - comps, disclosures, and the agent's card - handed over as one polished folder.

Healthcare & Legal Intake

Patient and client intake packets that keep forms, notices, and instructions organized and easy to hand back.

In-House Capability

Why in-house matters for folders.

A folder lives or dies on fit and finish: pocket registration, a clean score, and color that matches the inserts. Those are the details our team checks on every run.

01

Color we control

Brand colors managed on our own equipment, so the logo on the folder matches the logo on the inserts and the rest of your printed collateral.

  • Consistent color across folder and inserts
  • CMYK production tuned per stock
  • Proof review before we commit the run
02

Speed when it counts

Print, die-cut, and fold run on one production schedule, so a pitch date or a conference deadline is one conversation, not three.

  • Die proof and press proof on the same timeline
  • Rush available on time-critical jobs
  • One team to call if the date moves
03

Arrives ready to hand over

Folders arrive scored, folded, and packed display-ready, not as flat sheets you have to fold at your desk before the meeting.

  • Scored for a flat, clean fold
  • Pre-folded, or shipped flat on request
  • Packed display-ready for the meeting

FAQ

Presentation folder FAQ.

The standard presentation folder is 9x12, which holds letter-size 8.5x11 sheets with room to spare and fits comfortably in a briefcase or mailing envelope. It is the size most sales kits, proposals, and capabilities decks are built around. Other finished sizes are a custom die: send the dimensions of what has to fit inside and the quote will include it.
Yes. A diagonal slit is die-cut into the pocket so a standard business card tucks in and stays put. It is the small touch that makes a folder feel finished, and it keeps the rep's card with the materials instead of loose in the packet. The slit is cut on the same die pass as the pockets, so it adds no separate step.
Both. A single pocket keeps a lean sales kit tidy and costs less to produce; a double pocket gives you two compartments to separate, for example, a proposal on one side and supporting collateral on the other. Pockets can be die-cut at standard or custom depth. The layout follows the contents: one group of documents, single pocket; two groups, double pocket.
Presentation folders run on heavy cover stock - typically 14pt or 16pt, or a 100lb cover - so the folder holds its shape and feels substantial in hand. For the surface, choose matte, gloss, soft-touch, or UV coating. Soft-touch gives a premium velvety feel; gloss and UV make color and photography pop. If the cover is photo-driven, gloss or UV; if it is type-led, matte or soft-touch.
Yes. We print the folders and manage the die-cut pockets, slits, scoring, and folding as one job, proofed against your artwork before the run. Die-cut finishes are quoted per job with their own schedule, and rush is available when a deadline is tight.
We print short runs for a single pitch or event and larger quantities for ongoing sales programs and multi-office rollouts. Because folders involve a die, per-piece cost drops noticeably as quantity rises. Quantity and reorder plans both shape the quote, since the die is set once and reused, so include both when you ask.
We can help on request. Most customers send a print-ready PDF and run it through the free file check first. If you need help getting the file ready, mention it when you request a quote and we will scope it with the job.
Yes. We ship finished folders to all 50 states from our Lakeland, FL facility, packed flat or pre-folded and protected so the pockets arrive crisp. Local customers can also pick up in Lakeland.
