Custom Portfolio Folders Manufacturers & Suppliers FAQs

1. What types of portfolio folders do you manufacture?
We design and manufacture a wide range of custom portfolio folders and presentation covers in premium materials such as leather, timber, cloth, and acrylic. Each piece is custom-crafted to suit branding, design, and presentation requirements — ideal for corporate & business portfolios, tenders, design presentations, photography, real estate, and luxury documentation.
2. Can I customise the size and design of my portfolio folder?
Yes. Every portfolio folder is made to order. You can choose custom sizes, spine widths, cover materials, internal layouts, and fastening options (such as screw posts, magnets, or rings). We can also emboss your logo or apply foil stamping, laser engraving, or UV printing for a premium branded finish.
3. What is a hidden hinge?
A hidden hinge is a hinge design where the binding mechanism is concealed within the spine of the folder or cover.
• It gives a clean, seamless exterior look with no visible hardware.
• The folder opens smoothly while maintaining a refined, minimalist design — perfect for high-end portfolios or corporate presentations where aesthetics matter.
4. What is an external hinge?
An external hinge (also called an exposed hinge) is a hinge mechanism that is visible on the outside of the folder or case.
• It adds a decorative or industrial look and can be finished in metal, leather, or fabric.
• External hinges allow wider opening angles and are often used in timber, acrylic, or heavy-duty portfolio cases for added durability and design expression.
5. What materials are available for portfolio folders?
We work with a range of premium materials including:
• Genuine and synthetic leather – classic and professional finish
• Timber – natural and unique grain patterns
• Cloth and linen – textured, elegant presentation style
• Acrylic – modern, glossy, and contemporary look
• Paperboard or hybrid materials – lightweight and cost-effective options
Combinations of materials can also be created for contrast and brand impact.
6. Can you customise internal fittings and inserts?
Yes. Internal layouts can be designed to include document sleeves, pockets, business card holders, USB mounts, photo windows, or foam inserts. We can also fit screw post systems, ring binders, or clip fasteners depending on your usage.
7. Are these folders suitable for corporate branding or gifting?
Absolutely. Many of our clients use custom portfolio folders for:
• Corporate presentations and proposals
• Real estate and architectural tenders
• Design portfolios and photography presentations
• Company prospectuses and media kits
• Executive gifting and awards documentation
Each folder can be branded to reflect your corporate identity and presentation style.
8. Do you offer engraving or personalised finishes?

• Debossing or embossing (for leather and cloth)
• Foil stamping (gold, silver, or custom colours)

• UV digital printing (for detailed logos or full-colour designs)
These techniques create a premium and lasting impression.
9. What is your typical production turnaround?
Standard production time is 10–15 business days, depending on design complexity and material choice. Urgent or event-based orders can often be prioritised upon request.
10. Can I order samples before production?
