Questions about custom folders

Can admissions and award folders go on the same order?

Yes. The typical minimum is 1,000–3,000 folders per style and color. Cover and pocket variations affect smaller runs.

What does a printed folder sample cost?

We price each folder sample by stock, printing and construction. It usually takes 5–7 calendar days. We credit 50% of the fee toward its bulk order and give separate timelines for production and transit.

Can you change pocket depth and keep the cover design?

Yes. We can adjust pocket depth and folds to fit the stack and keep the cover artwork.

Can the pockets carry different wording from the front cover?

Yes. We position the inside text to read upright after folding.

Which finishes work for a formal school crest?

Print gives a flat mark, foil a metallic finish and embossing a raised crest on suitable board.
