1) Use high quality paper. Because your folder will serve as cover of your marketing materials, it is important that it is sturdy and high quality. A flimsy paper will easily tear out leaving a bad impression to your target customers. Pick a sturdy and high quality paper so your folder will look impressive.
2) Pick a design that works with your business. From the cover down to the back side of the cover, the design should be ideal for your business image. There are presentation folder templates you can use but if you want an original look, you can always create a custom design. Use pictures and colors that you deem appropriate for your image. If uncertain of the best design to use, you can always ask the help of a professional graphic designer. He will help you come up with the perfect look for your folder.
3) Use the right finish. It's essential that you match your design with a finish that will highlight your business image. You can choose between glossy, matte, aqueous coating and lamination. If you want an aesthetic polish, you can opt for aqueous coating. This may cost you extra, so you have to ensure you have extra money to do
4) Order in bulk. Saving money is a priority of most businesses. If your goal is the same, you can consider ordering your folder in large orders. Printing companies today often offer discounts in bulk printing. The total price is lesser than when ordering per piece. You might want to ask your printer if they order discounts on large orders. If they do, better take advantage of it.
5) Check before printing. Before your design gets on with final printing, check it for errors, typos, or mistakes. If you can get a hardcopy proof, that would be better. Check every corner of the design so you are assured that there are no errors. You can even ask a friend to proof the design for you just to ensure that you did not miss anything. When you feel comfortable with the design, that's the time you go ahead with printing.
Follow these tips and you are sure to save a lot in money and time. With your high quality presentation folder, no one would think that you are just a small business working on a small budget. Make use of your creativity and imagination in order to create folders that you can be proud of.
