About This Product

On a big job, the homeowner is often comparing three or four bids. A folder keeps your proposal, warranty, reviews, and business card together, so your bid looks organized and complete while the others look like loose paper.

Use them for roof replacements, remodels, new HVAC systems, and any job where the price needs explaining. Walk the homeowner through it at the kitchen table, then leave it behind so it is the bid they reread that night.

Often ordered with: Special Shape Cards, Blank Letterheads, and Business Card Magnets.

Common Questions

How much do custom presentation folders cost?
Custom presentation folders are starting at $99, and that includes design and a proof before printing. Your price depends on size, paper, finish, and quantity. The minimum order is 100 folders. Send us your quantity and deadline in the form below and we'll send a proof.

What size presentation folder is standard?
The standard presentation folder is 9 x 12 inches, which holds letter-size pages. We also print 9 x 14.5 inch folders for legal-size contracts, 6 x 9 inch folders for sample kits, and 4 x 6 inch small press kits. Most contractors choose 9 x 12 for bids and proposals.

What should a contractor put in a presentation folder?
Put in everything the homeowner needs to say yes: your proposal, warranty terms, reviews or references, financing options, and a business card in the card slit. Keeping it all in one place makes your bid easy to compare and hard to lose.

Are presentation folders worth it for contractors?
Yes, on high-ticket jobs like remodels, roof replacements, and full HVAC systems. When a homeowner is comparing several bids, a folder makes yours look like the professional choice before they read a word. One won job usually pays for the whole order.

Which finish is best for presentation folders?
Soft-touch feels the most upscale and suits higher-priced bids. Gloss makes colors pop and resists fingerprints. Matte is the clean, simple middle option. All three come on heavy cover stock with two pockets and card slits, scored to close flat over a full proposal.

How many presentation folders should I order?
Count the big bids you hand out in a year. Many contractors start with 100 folders, the minimum, and move to 250 or 500 once they see how often they use them. Larger runs cost less per folder, so order deeper if your branding is not changing soon.

How long does it take to print presentation folders?
Presentation folders print in 3 to 7 business days after you approve the proof, depending on quantity and finish. If you have a big bid meeting coming up, tell us the date when you order and we will work back from it.

Ordering print in East Tennessee

Do you ship print orders across East Tennessee?

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.

How fast can I get signs or cards for a job starting this week?

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.

Will yard signs and banners hold up outdoors in East Tennessee?

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.

Do I need artwork before I can order?

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.
