Quick answers

Which board is used for glued folders?

There are two: 350gsm Art Board Silk Finish, which is the standard choice, and the heavier 400gsm Art Board Silk Finish. Pick 400gsm when you want a stiffer, weightier feel in the hand. For a folder built without glue, compare Interlocking Folders, which use 350gsm board.

How much do glued folders cost?

10 folders start at £194.50 on the cheapest combination of forme, board, lamination and extras. 100 folders start at £294.29 and 500 start at £626.95, so the cost per folder falls sharply with volume. The configurator shows the live total for your choices, and quantities outside the list can go through Get a Quote.

Will a glued folder hold A4 documents?

Yes. The Finished Size dropdown has two settings: to take A4 and to take A5. Choose to take A4 for full-size proposals and letters, or to take A5 for shorter handouts and price lists. Our presentation folder printing page covers other formats if neither fits.

What does the Capacity option mean?

Capacity sets how much room the folder gives its contents. Choose None for a flat folder that holds a few sheets, or 4mm or 5mm for a thicker bundle such as a proposal with inserts. If your pack is thicker than 5mm, describe it on the quote form with a rough page count.

Can I add a business card slot?

Yes. Set Business Card Slots to Yes and the folder is made with slots so you can tuck a card in with the documents. Leave it on No if you hand cards over separately. Need cards to fill it? Standard Business Cards are priced on their own page.

How long do glued folders take?

Typical production is around 6 working days. Treat that as a guide and allow for delivery on top, or collect from our Manchester studio at Unit 3, 116 Bury New Road, Manchester M8 8EB. If a pitch or event date is fixed, check the timing with us before you order.

Which lamination should I pick for a glued folder?

The Lamination dropdown lists One Side (Matt), which is standard, plus One Side (Gloss), Both Sides (Matt), Both Sides (Gloss) and None. Matt gives a soft, low-sheen look, while gloss makes colours look brighter. Laminating both sides covers the inside faces too. See the stationery range for items to match.

Asked by buyers 22

Can I print inside the folder as well as outside?

Yes. Change Sides Printed from Single Sided to Double Sided and both faces of the board carry print. Inside print suits a welcome message, a contact list or a map to your office. Keep it single sided and the inside stays plain. The brochure printing page covers inserts to slot into the pockets.

Is spot UV available on glued folders?

Not on this page. Spot UV is set to None as part of the fixed specification. If you want a glossy highlight on a logo or a pattern, describe it on the quote form and the team can look at a separate price for it.

When would I leave the lamination off?

None leaves the silk board without a laminate film. It is the option to choose if you want the bare board feel or plan to write on the cover. Lamination adds a film layer, matt or gloss, on one or both sides, and the live price shows what each setting adds to your order.

Is the 400gsm board worth choosing over 350gsm?

It depends on the feel you want. 400gsm Art Board Silk Finish is a thicker board than the 350gsm standard, so the finished folder feels firmer in the hand. Compare both on the live price before deciding. For other heavyweight print, browse booklets and brochures.

What are the Glue Forme numbers?

Each Glue Forme number in the Size dropdown is a separate cutting layout for the folder, sixteen in total, numbered between 1 and 21. The page does not show drawings of each one, so ask the team which forme suits your contents and finished size before you place the order.

Can I get a glued folder to take DL?

This page offers to take A4 and to take A5 only. For a DL folder, the Interlocking Folders page includes a to take DL setting. Anything else, such as a bespoke shape, is a custom job, so describe what you need when you get in touch.

Does the capacity option change the price?

It can. Every dropdown, including Capacity, feeds into the live price, so switching from None to 4mm or 5mm may move the total. Set the capacity after choosing the forme and board, then compare the figures before you add the folders to your cart.

What do 1000 glued folders cost?

On the cheapest options, 1000 folders come to £1,021.80 and 2000 come to £1,464.41. Those are starting figures; your forme, board, lamination, slot and capacity choices set the real total, which the configurator shows live. For matching letterheads and slips, see our corporate stationery sets.

What is the smallest run of glued folders?

The Quantity dropdown starts at 10 folders, then steps through 25, 50, 100, 200, 250 and 500 up to 5000. A run of 10 suits a single pitch or a board meeting. For fewer than 10, or more than 5000, contact the team for a custom price.

Does laminating both sides cost more?

The price updates live as you change the Lamination dropdown, so you can compare One Side (Matt) with Both Sides (Matt) or Both Sides (Gloss) before you commit. Pick the finish you want first, then adjust the quantity to see how the total behaves across different run lengths.

How should I set up artwork for a glued folder?

Folder artwork is laid out to the flat shape of the chosen forme, so confirm the shape of your Glue Forme before you design. Supply it as a print-ready PDF. If you are not sure how the panels and pockets sit, the Professional artwork and design service (+£36.00) handles the layout. More on folders is on our presentation folder page.

Can you design the folder from my logo and brand colours?

Yes. Add the Professional artwork and design service at the artwork step and supply your logo, wording and colours. It suits teams without a designer to hand. To keep the rest of your paperwork consistent, look at Letterheads and Compliment Slips as well.

What should go on the outside of a presentation folder?

Keep the front simple: your logo, a short line about what you do and perhaps one strong image. Contact details and a web address usually sit on the back or inside. A good website to point clients to helps the folder do its job, and our web design team can build one.

How do I place an order for glued folders?

Set each dropdown in turn: Size, Paper Type, Sides Printed, Lamination, Business Card Slots, Capacity, Finished Size and Quantity. The total updates with every change. Choose your artwork option, add to cart and pay by card at checkout, where Stripe takes Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Browse the shop for anything else you need.

Can I order folders with different designs in one go?

Yes. Add each design as its own cart line with its own artwork and quantity, then check out once. That suits a business running separate folders for sales and for new starters. Each line is priced on its own options. Other items for the same order are in the stationery category.

Do you deliver glued folders across the UK?

Yes. UK delivery is available, and the cost is shown at checkout once your address is entered. Folders can also be collected from the studio on Bury New Road in Manchester. Towns where we work regularly are listed under areas we cover.

Can I collect folders and other stationery together?

Yes. If you order folders with items such as Envelopes or letterheads, you can pick everything up from Unit 3, 116 Bury New Road, Manchester M8 8EB. Folders take around 6 working days, so plan the collection around the slowest item in your order.

What are glued folders typically used for?

Sales proposals, tender submissions, client welcome packs, conference packs and new-starter inductions are all common uses. The folder keeps loose pages together and puts your brand on the cover the client takes away. For the pages inside, see A4 Continuation Sheets.

Do glued folders suit estate agents and property firms?

Yes. A folder to take A4 holds particulars, contracts and floor plans, and a business card slot puts the agent's details right inside. Many offices pair them with letterhead printing so the whole pack carries one look from cover to letter.

Could I use glued folders at an exhibition?

Yes. A run of 100 or 200 folders to take A5 can hold a price list and a flyer for visitors to take from the stand. Collect them with the rest of your event kit. For the stand graphics themselves, see our exhibition graphics page.

Who prints the glued folders?

WEB PRINT & SIGNS LIMITED, a Manchester print, signs and web business working since 2003 that has helped over 20,000 UK businesses. Phone 0161 315 1151 or email hello@webprintsigns.co.uk with any question. More background is on our about page.

Are glued folders a good choice for schools or charities?

They work well for prospectus packs, enrolment information or donor packs, where several documents need to reach someone together. Choose to take A4 for full-size forms and letters. For printed reports to place inside, browse the booklets and brochures range.
