Frequently Asked Questions

Akuafoil Folders FAQ

Folder construction is as important as finished size. Choose the size, pocket style, printing, stock and finishing options that best fit the project, then prepare artwork using the matching folder template. Business-card and media slits are part of the pocket construction and should be selected before final artwork setup. Specialty treatments such as Akuafoil, foil stamping, embossing, lamination and Raised Spot UV may require separate effect artwork. Production turnaround begins after usable artwork, complete order details and required approvals are received and does not include shipping, delivery or pickup time.

Looking for shipping, payment, pickup or other general order topics? Visit our General FAQ.

Size & Ordering

Why does the exact folder template matter?

Folder templates include cut lines, pocket folds, glue areas and construction-specific features. A similar finished size can still use a different die.

What is the difference between both-pocket and right-pocket folders?

Both-pocket folders retain documents on both inside panels. Right-pocket-only folders keep the left inside panel open and place the document pocket on the right/back side.

Material & Finishing

What are reinforced edges?

Reinforced-edge folder dies add additional folded material along selected outer edges to increase stiffness and durability.

Can I add a business-card slit?

Select the exact slit location or BC slit style before preparing artwork.

Artwork & Templates

Can the inside of the folder be printed?

Use the Printing choices shown in Specifications. Some products offer blank interiors, grayscale interiors or full-color printing on both sides.

Which template should I use?

 

Production

Can I provide artwork later?

Yes. Choose Provide Artwork Separately, or Request Design Assistance if the folder needs design, die placement, cleanup or specialty-mask preparation.

Does turnaround include shipping?

No. Production turnaround and shipping, delivery or pickup timing are separate.
