Flexpress Glued and Interlocking Folders
Introduction
We’ve got plenty of cutting forms in our locker and there’s a selection of our folder templates below. Many of these existing forms have capacity (allowing more inserts to be added to the folder) and some don’t. In general, non capacity folders will hold approximately 7 to 8 sheets of paper, but this is dependent on the paper weight used for the inserts.
Interlocking folders are printed, cut and creased and delivered to you flat. This makes storage much easier as they take up less room. You will, however, need to make up your folders as you use them. This is as simple as slotting one piece of card into another.
Glued folders are printed, laminated, cut and creased and fully made up mechanically by us. Folders with additional capacity can be quite bulky and you will need to consider storage if ordering a large amount.

File set up information
- We recommend Adobe InDesign or Adobe Illustrator. The easiest way is to download a template and use it as your base.
- If you want artwork on the flap that folds up from the bottom, position it upside down so it reads correctly when made up.
- When exporting PDF, select PDF X 1a 2001, include 3mm bleed and trim marks.
- Leave the cutting form on the artwork and ensure the swatch is a spot colour called Cutter so the job flows through automation.
