FOLDERS
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. We also have a ‘Design Your Own Folder’ section where any other folder can be priced.
To complement our standard Full Colour Printing we also offer HexachromePrinting (Six Colour Printing) and Metal FX(Metallic printing) on our standard stock.Hexachrome can produce exceptional results, particularly for jobs which call for vivid oranges and greens. It involves the combination of six colours, rather than four in conventional printing to produce the full rainbow spectrum. For more information on this printing process click here. For examples of Hexachrome Printing please give us a call. Metal FX is a relatively new process and we are one of very few printers worldwide to have passed the strict criteria to be licensed to use the system. Metal FX allows any number of Metallic colours to be produced on the same page with Full Colour.
Please Note:Where colour extends across folds we strongly recommend lamination to minimise the risk of 'white cracking'.
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.Lamination

Also assembled Folders are very bulky. If you require assembled Folders to be delivered we may have to revise our carriage cost to reflect the volume rather than the weight.Spot Colour on larger FoldersThe price of printing Spot Colour on larger Folders can seem disproportionate to the cost of Full Colour. The reason for this is that we must set up the press specifically for Spot Colour rather than utilising the Full Colour inks in more general use.
Assembly
Folders are supplied flat with interlocking pockets or applied with double sided tape for easy assembly at time of use. Alternatively they can be supplied fully assembled if preferred for an additional price and additional turnaround time.
