20 gorgeous presentation folder designs

These beautifully designed presentation folders will give you a shot of inspiration if you're looking to strike the perfect balance between form and function.

Every business has its share of paperwork, but a stack of plain, loose papers just isn't very enticing when the goal is to attract customers. Pocket folders are excellent for presenting and distributing a business's marketing materials, invoices, or other vital documents. They work best, however, when the folder has a unique, eye-catching design.

We've assembled 20 of the best folder designs we could find to help excite your creativity, and then organized them by the four most popular imprint methods: embossed/debossed; foil-stamped; four-colour process; PMS (spot) colour.

Embossed/debossed folder designs

01. gnomon school of visual design folder.

This presentation folder was designed to hold tri-fold brochures as well as other important promotional materials for the Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood. Designer Bob Ward ran student artwork through an emboss/deboss treatment to sculpt the graphics, highlighting the many subtle textures in the lava creature illustration. Both the text and illustration were hit with a spot varnish to give the 'dark on dark' package a sleek yet elegant look.

02. Clay Street Project press kit folder

The Clay Street Project needed a press kit folder to contain various promotional materials. Studio Lin created this solution, which features an elegant cloth exterior and deep purple interior. A die-cut circle allows the purple to show through. The folder has long clasps which allow it to assemble without the need for glue.

03. Healing Center logo folder

The Healing Center is a place where people are helped and supported in all different facets of life: emotional, financial, physical, spiritual. Providing these services that "help the whole person", Ladd created an identity that is bright yet natural. The imagery and color schemes are hopeful and real, while keeping a modern appearance.

04. Island Conservation embossed presentation folder

This presentation folder by Company Folders for nonprofit group Island Conservation, features the company's logo twice on the cover: once in earthy green and blue PMS ink, and again with the embossed imprint method. Inside, the folder features curved pockets with both business card slits and a brochure slit so that users can insert additional information and media.

05. Nike Free media kit

Working with Fibre and PR Agency The Fish Can Sing, APE created a media kit for a new Nike product 'Nike Free'. This footware was all about simulating the sensation and benefits of running in bare feet. Using a bespoke fold and die cut technique, a booklet containing all the product information and photography opened out to an A0 poster.

12. Sunny Home Real Estate Folder Template

The coloring and style of this folder design from Company Folders makes it appear aged for a rustic, nostalgic appeal, while the delicate, whorled pattern on the back cover gives it a touch of elegance and class.

10 Cool Presentation Folder Ideas Sure to Impress Clients

First impressions have more significant impacts on your clients’ final decisions regarding your business or marketing idea. It ranges from personal grooming to the tiny bit of presentation that you give. The presentation, factors in more marks in identifying your brand and capturing the attention of your client panel. Coming up with the right but also a great presentation folder is fundamental if you aim to impress. Here are 10 presentation folder ideas to start you off.

1. Selecting the right die cut

A file or folder is something that any professional has in the office. Having yours come in the right die-cut will draw your client’s brows picking their interest. Die cuts come in different forms and shapes. Selecting a suitable one depends on the presentation you are making, client personality and above all, what you aim to pass across. They range from serpentine cuts or windows cut which offer the client an opportunity to peak at what is inside, to flaps that extend your current folder encompassing more information among others.

2. Adding the right graphics

Graphics add some personal touch to your folder presentation. They offer a chance for you to get creative with your folders before the big presentation day. Designing your presentation folder is comfortable with graphics in the mix. This way, you know which information goes where, which picture to add and where it will perfectly fit without ruining the symmetry. Besides, they make it easy for you to interpret and develop a proper understanding of what you want to present.

3. Pick the right paper stock

Picking the right paper stock is crucial for your presentation folder. It is dependent on the use i.e. if there is a lot of printing associated, and then a sturdy paper stock is the right choice. If aiming only to emboss or foil stamp the presentation folder, then you can use the fabric like paper stock. Remember, paper stock color matters as many tend to bleed through, causing a huge mess when it comes to the hue desired.

4. Add coat to your paper stock

Add some coat to your paper stock for a long-lasting, stain resistance, and tear protection. The coating prevents any form of damage that may occur on the stock. Besides, the coats come in your selection. If you want to shine, be expressive and at the same time highly reflective in your folder presentation, then selecting a coat with gloss or ultraviolet is suitable.

5. Invest in the foil stamping

In many presentation cases, many people already know what they want to present in their cover designs. However, coming up with the right way to do so is the main challenge. You can use different apps to develop your brand name and other essential images/ letters on your cover or presentation folder back page through and foil stamping. Also, you can select metallic and non-metallic foils stamps or different hues to bring some color or shine to your design, whether it is for official purposes or not.

6. Try Embossing and Debossing

Embossing is where the design present on the paper stock is facing up on the paper stock. Debossing, on the other hand, is that specific design or image appearing to be inside the paper stock. In combination with foil stamping and different letter imprint designs, you can create 3-D models and generate a competitive edge.

7. Add brand or business-related photos

Nothing sells more than the perfect photo on your presentation folder. If pitching the best marketing ideas for a specific product, then introducing some eye-catching and vibrant pictures in your envelope is the way to go. It provides the clients with a scenic view and an idea of what they are there to get. It gives them a first impression they cannot forget all through the presentation.

8. Identify the perfect solution for additional information

Preparation is the key to achieving a great presentation folder at the end of the day. Preparing the information to enter into the envelope is critical. It helps in identifying whether you will require additional pages or folder pockets . You can add information to your folder by developing a stitched brochure, a binder, or booklet, among others.

9. Go for Simplicity

Too many accessories details may defeat the whole purpose of the presentation. Keeping it simple is the key to developing that elegance feel of the presentation folder for all your clients. Besides, not all want to view the extensive details. Some clients wish to see simple, easy to understand folder content in front of them.

10. Closure accessories

Match the unique designs in your presentation folder with a similar file closure accessory. A unique tuck tub die-cut, allowing you to close the binder is one option. Others include using snaps, ribbons for celebration or promotional file presentations among other embellishment pieces. Determine the suitable closure accessories depending on the situation. For professional presentation folders, you can use the tuck tub as it is simple and delivers professionalism.

Designing a presentation can be as easy as finding crusader crossword answers 911 online. The above concepts are simply a starting point that will give you direction on what to do and how. Be sure to go through it once more for the plans to sink in before embarking on a folder presentation journey.
