LEARN MORE ABOUT POCKET FOLDERS

How are pocket folders made?

1

Proofing

Perfect pocket folders start with preparation. Once we receive your folder artwork we double check alignment as well as complete our standard prepress checks for resolution, color, fonts, and more.

2

Printing

Depending on order quantity and design requirements (PMS colors, foil, varnishes, etc. ) your pocket folders will either be printed on our HP Indigo 12000 or with our UV Offset presses.

3

Cutting & Scoring

Once printed, your pocket folders will be trimmed and die-cut to your exact design. Scoring prior to folding helps prevent ink cracking resulting in a higher-quality and longer lasting finished folder.

4

Folding & Gluing

Finally your pocket folder will be completed by folding into shape and applying hot glue. With the proper preparation this is done in one fluid step. Check out this video to see this in action!

Three Tips For Pocket Folder Printing

We’ve printed millions of pocket folders over the years. Follow these three tips from our experienced prepress department to insure the best outcome for your next pocket folder project.

Example of Pocket Folder Die Lines

Cut, bleed, & die?

The scary details of pocket folders.

When designing, visualize the flat layout of your pocket folder. Content on the interior pockets should be oriented upside down and on the same side as the outside of your folder. These pockets are folded in and glued to the inside of your folder.

Your design should extend .125” (1/8”) beyond the edge to allow room for cutting.

Color Tips for Pocket Folders

Colors that POP!

Getting the ink to match the screen.

Make sure you have designed your pocket folder in CMYK not RGB color space for accurate color reproduction. If requested, we can print using Pantone (Spot) colors. Please label them in your artwork accordingly and notify us when requesting an estimate.

Consider using on of our print special effects to really make your pocket folder stand-out.

Pocket folder file prep tips

Proper PDF prep.

Perfect PDF's are perfectly easy.

We prefer you provide your finished pocket folder artwork as a PDF. When saving please downsize all images above 300 dpi and include your document bleed settings and crop marks. Please embed all fonts or convert text to outlines.

For perfect PDF's every time, download and install our PDF presets for Adobe Suite.
