For bids and proposals you want taken seriously.
When you're bidding a big remodel or a full roof replacement against three other contractors, a presentation folder is what separates the pro from the guy with a stapled quote. You hand the homeowner a folder with your proposal, warranty, references, and business card tucked into the pockets, and the whole package says you do this for a living.
We design 9x12 folders with two pockets and business-card slits, scored to close clean over a full proposal. Printed on heavy cover stock in gloss, matte, or soft-touch, so the first thing the customer holds feels like it's worth the price you're about to quote.
Often ordered with: Special Shape Cards, Blank Letterheads, and Business Card Magnets.
Tell us the quantity, the options you want from the list above, and your deadline. We come back with a firm price and a proof — usually the same week. Need artwork? Design is included.
Quantity, the options you want, and your deadline. Artwork optional.
A firm price and a proof, usually within one business day. Design is included.
Nothing goes on press until you have seen the proof and said yes.
Three to seven business days on press, plus shipping to your address.
When is a presentation folder worth it?
On high-ticket bids: remodels, roof replacements, full HVAC systems. When the homeowner is comparing you to other contractors, the folder makes your proposal look like the professional choice before they've read a word.
What goes inside?
Your proposal, warranty terms, references or reviews, financing options, and a business card in the slit. Everything the homeowner needs to say yes, organized in one place.
Which finish should I pick?
Soft-touch feels the most premium and justifies a higher bid. Gloss pops with color and resists fingerprints. Matte is the clean, understated middle.
Yes. Everything we print ships — to Knoxville, Maryville, Alcoa, or wherever your crew is working. Shipping time is on top of the print turnaround, and we confirm the total before you approve the proof.
Most orders proof within one business day and print in three to seven business days, plus shipping. Rush is available on yard signs, business cards and door hangers — put your date in the form below and we will tell you what is actually possible.
We spec UV inks and heavier stock on anything that lives outdoors through hot summers and freezing winters. Tell us the sign is going in full sun or staying up through the season and we will recommend the material that lasts instead of the cheapest one.
No. Design is included. Send a logo, a photo of your truck, or nothing at all, and our design team builds the artwork and sends you a proof before anything prints.
Call the shop. We will tell you what works, what does not, and what it will cost — before you order anything.
Print for contractors
One shop for the design and the print.
Most contractors pay a designer, then a printer, then discover the file was set up wrong. We do both, which means one phone call and one person to hold responsible.
