Folder Printing & Cutting Guides
Folders are printed on a large flat sheet and trimmed using a cutting guide and can be produced, within reason, to virtually any size and shape.
If you can choose a standard guide, this will save you money.
For your convenience we have shown below 5 standard templates of the most popular sizes, which are available for download either as Adobe Illustrator .ai formats, or regular pdf’s.
A folder printing range is often available on 350gsm Gloss or Satin finish in either spot colour or process colour (CMYK).
For your info, pricing for folders on many websites show the printed colour info in this format:
- 1 + 0 = 1 colour outside, no print on inside
- 1 + 1 = 1 colour outside, 1 colour inside
- 2 + 0 = 2 colour outside, no print on inside
- 2 + 2 = 2 colour outside, 2 colour inside
- 4 + 0 = 4 colour outside, no print on inside
- 4 + 4 = 4 colour outside, 4 colour on inside
