common sizes of color pocket folders, how they are used and the subtle message it brings

Presentation folders come in a variety of different sizes. Each size, standard or otherwise is well suited for a specific purpose, and it also conveys a subtle message. If you do not know about these hidden motives and meanings, then you still have a few more things to learn when it comes to pocket folder printing. If you want to know about the meaning of size when it comes to presentation folders, read and understand the items below. They detail the different common sizes of color pocket folders, how they are used, what subtle message it brings and people's perception of them.

9"x12" or 9"x14.5" Standard Folder sizes

The nine by twelve folder size (or others near this dimension), is the most widely used size. Most printing companies print their presentation folders in these dimensions. This is because the 9x12 is perfect to house a standard letter sized 8.5" x 11" paper. If you have a presentation with supporting documents in letter size, then it makes sense to print presentation folders that can fit those documents snugly and safely.

So, most people expect the usual or standard things from this kind of size in a presentation folder since it is the most common. It is safe, efficient, useful but also uninteresting and common. This may work on more serious business environments, but for creative fields and industries, using this size is generic at best.

6" x 9" or 4" x 9" Reduced folder sizes

Another common presentation folder size are the reduced ones. These are the pocket folders that have half or almost half of the dimensions of the standard folder size. Though these sizes may not cater to letter sized documents, these pocket folders have the advantage of mobility and uniqueness to them. Since they are smaller they are easier to carry around. Also, since they do not look like the usual presentation folder, they garner that extra attention from most people.

Pocket folders in these sizes are perfect for special public relations kits, or advertising campaign presentations. Any kind of creative and mobile presentation endeavors can really benefit from presentation folder printing in this size. They convey the message of ease, mobility and sometimes even cuteness.

Custom sizes

Of course, when all other standard sizes fail, we have to go to custom sizes. When you print pocket folders in custom sizes, then you are emphasizing the originality and importance of your presentation. A different dimension or size means you have something in your folder that is uncommon. Also, since customization costs a little extra people, know that what you have in that presentation folder is worth spending money on. If you want this kind of impact, then it is a good idea to use a custom size for pocket folder printing.

So those are the main categories that you can choose from in terms of presentation folder sizes. As you can see each has its own use, message and impression on people. Try to take these things into account once you design your pocket folders.
