Promotional conference folders come in all shapes and sizes however they all do a great job as promotional gifts. This article details 5 of the best folders available on the market today.
1 Leather Conference folders
Without doubt leather conference folders are top of the shop in terms of quality, finish, style and feel. If you really want to make a first class impression at your conference then this is the folder that will do the job. Discreet branding is always recommended on these excellent business gifts. If you are looking for a very impressive, deep stamped logo then blind embossing is the best choice. Silver or gold hot foiling looks really impressive.
2 PU Promotional Folders
Probably the most common material for conference folders is PU. A man made fabric, it looks and feels like leather. It is also available in a variety of colours which makes it attractive in terms of company branding. These very cost effective promotional folders can be screen printed, embossed or hot foil printed. Because the fabric is less expensive more money can be spent on extra pockets, zips etc
3 Plastic Promotional Folders
Whilst these inexpensive folders have been around a long time they offer good value for money. A printed paper insert is placed between the plastic cover and backing board so you can have a full colour cover if you want to. These promotional folders are excellent in workshops or areas where dirty hands or messy materials are to be found
4 E.Leather Conference Folders
E. Leather is a fantastic and very recent addition to the business gift market. They make great promotional items because they have been created to emphasise their Eco friendliness. Manufactured using a unique production method the fabric is made from scrap leather off cuts. It is possible to get any colour Pantone matched and many different textures are available.
5 PET Polyester Conference Folders
Manufactured from recycled plastics such as bottles and packaging these folders are truly Eco Friendly. The discarded plastic material is melted down and then a fibre is respun from the process. The material can be Pantone matched to any colour. Folders in this material are very attractive, light and are Eco Friendly. Branding can be achieved through die stamping or full colour screen printing.
Whatever promotional conference folders you decide to choose always remember that it is better to buy quality over quantity A really good A4 leather will always be valued more over a large A4 PU folder that's full of zips and pockets. Do not rush an important decision such as how to best brand the folder. A little more time spent on these two important decisions will result in a much better finished product.
