Document Folders

Create professional presentation and document folders
By M. Worcester Business presentation folder creation has never been as easy to do as it is now. You can use computers, in-house printers and custom paper and presentation folder products to produce professional-looking presentations. You can use the Internet to access many printing companies that inexpensively print the business presentation folders you design. The pre-designed templates and online design options give you more control over the presentation folder creation process than ever before.
 

Choose from many methods to create business presentation folders using the Internet. You have many more options than in the past, when your choices would have been limited to the local printing firm or a quick-copy outlet. Don't let the extensive number of choices overwhelm you.

Consider these factors in deciding the document folder creation method that best suits your needs:

1. Cost: You will usually save money by producing folders for presentation in-house.
2. Turn-around time: You have to plan ahead in order to allow time for outside printing or design services.
3. Creative ability: Decide whether your business staff has the ability to design custom document folders or if you want to pay for outside design services.

Design and print your own business presentation folders and their contents in-house

Choose this option if you have a small budget or need quick turn-around. If your business produces a lot of presentations, keep supplies on hand to ensure the ability to customize business folders and document binders quickly. Your creativity will be limited by the quality of your in-house printing machines.
Try: Use downloadable templates from Avery, or download software products that work with Avery products. Order presentation folders of all types from Company Folders, Inc.

Enlist the services of a graphic designer for custom document folders

Try: Obtain custom graphic design services from My1Stop, Inc. or PrintGlobe.

• If your business produces many presentation folders and other in-house printed products, create an in-house document processing area. Fill it with paper, labels, folders, binders and other printing supplies, organized in stackable document organizing modules, and consider purchasing items such as a paper cutter, laminator, comb-binding machine, specialty label printers and a high-quality color printer and copier.
