A presentation folder is one of the most practical promotional pieces you can print — it works for virtually any industry, and you can tailor what goes inside to the occasion by swapping in the right flyers. Choose a general-purpose design and the same folder does double duty for outward promotion and internal use alike.
Compared with a printed brochure, a folder is far more flexible. A brochure is a one-off — it's usually built around one specific set of content — whereas a folder simply needs its inserts swapped out. And next to a loose flyer handed over on its own, a folder feels more substantial, so the person receiving it feels valued.
Below we share finished folders from a range of companies.
Single-pocket folders
One-sided print (1)
This is the most basic option: printed on one side with a blank interior. It's the most budget-friendly, and the design barely needs a second thought.
To make the folder more hard-wearing, most are finished with matte lamination, which also gives some splash resistance.
Recommendation: ★★★★☆
Design difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆
Two-sided print (1)
This design is genuinely eye-catching. Beyond its vivid colour palette, the two-sided layout is judged just right — the interior introduces the event itself, so the folder never feels dull.
The pocket is full of design flair too, and brimming with energy.
Recommendation: ★★★★★
Design difficulty: ★★★★☆
Two-sided print (2)
What makes this two-sided design special is the pocket. Its shape is cut to echo the triangles in the background artwork, so the finished result feels seamless.
Recommendation: ★★★★☆
Design difficulty: ★★★★★
Double-pocket folders
One-sided print (1)
This is the basic double-pocket option: no interior design, with the company logo on the cover and contact details on the back.
A double-pocket folder holds more promotional material, which makes it ideal when you need to present two projects at once.
Recommendation: ★★★★☆
Design difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆
One-sided print (2)
This design embosses the logo on the cover, giving the folder a more distinctive look. Because the cover is embossed, the reverse is left indented — so it isn't well suited to a two-sided design.
It's a touch more demanding to design than a standard print run, since everything has to work around the cover effect.
Recommendation: ★★★★☆
Design difficulty: ★★★☆☆
