Folder Size

Knowing the paper and document types you need for your marketing campaign determines the size of your folders. Known to hold loose papers together, folders let you organize your print materials to be presented to your guests during conventions and presentations. For example, a handy media kit that holds press materials, with the appropriate folder size, is easy to carry around during the event.

Here are the three standard sizes for folders:

• 9” x 12” Folders – Also known as letter folders, these hold 8.5” x 11” sized papers. The folders can carry various marketing materials such as small- to medium-sized brochures, flyers, event tickets, CDs, and the like. You can include single or double pockets inside to hold the content in place and a business card slot to immediately display your company information.
• 9.5” x 14.5” Folders – These hold legal documents such as Memorandum of Agreements, land titles, insurance papers, and the like. All these are written or printed on 8.5" x 14" legal paper, which explains why this folder size is also known as a legal folder. Its uses, however, are not limited to legal transactions for it extends to any purpose that suits your needs.
• 6” x 9” Folders – Commonly used for hotels and resorts, these mini folders carry small pieces of papers such as flyers, brochures, pamphlets, menu cards, business cards, CDs, and the like.
