File Folders FAQ

What can I use these for?
File folders are great for organizing and storing any important documents you need to keep track of.

What’s the difference between these and pocket folders?
File folders do not come with any pockets on the inside, whereas pocket folders do. The folded size of file folders is 11 ⅝” x 9.5”, whereas the folded size of our standard pocket folders is 9” x 12”.

Can you print double-sided file folders?
Yes! We can print on one side or two. Simply select whether you would like printing only on the outside (4/0) or on both sides (4/4) on our instant pricing calculator.

What is UV coating?
UV coating is a protective finish that is added to the outside of your file folders. It provides an extra shiny appearance to make your graphics really stand out.

File folders are printed on 130# gloss cover, which is a thick, glossy cover stock. They are then UV coated on the outside to add a protective coating and extra shine. You cannot write on products that have been UV coated.

Safe Area: Set your margins to .125" and keep all important elements (logos, text, and images that do not bleed) within these margins

Proofing: After you place your order and upload your artwork, our prepress team will begin inspecting your files to ensure your document size, bleed lines, margins, image resolution, and more are correct in order for the best print quality. They will email you a soft proof (PDF) for your approval prior to printing. Most proofs are sent within 1 business day of order placement; more complex art files can sometimes take longer. Soft proofing is an easy way to see what your finished product will look like and make sure the content is correct. However, soft proofing is not intended for exact color matching. Every monitor displays color differently, and on backlit screens, colors may appear lighter than the actual colors contained in your files. If color matching is critical, please give us a call at 800-227-7377 to order a hard proof.

Production Time: Production time begins after proof approval and is the time required to produce your order before it ships. It is calculated in business days, starting at the next occurrence of 9:00 AM Eastern on the 1st business day after the proof is approved. U.S. Press is closed Saturdays, Sundays and all major holidays; thus, these days are not included in the production schedule.
