Description

A5 Interlocking Folders

Keep documents, leaflets and price lists neatly together with custom printed A5 interlocking folders. The locking tabs assemble in seconds without glue, making them a practical choice for sales packs, event handouts and appointment documents.

Seven Styles, Five Materials, Flexible Printing

Choose from seven interlocking styles with different pocket shapes, flap designs and spine widths to suit your contents. Options include folders with business card slots sized to accept a 55mm × 85mm card. Compare the style diagrams to find the right layout for your pack.

Board weights range from 250–450gsm across the range, with five material options:

  • Silk: a smooth finish with a subtle sheen.
  • Gloss: a shiny surface for bold colours and striking images.
  • Uncoated: a natural feel with a surface that’s easy to write on.
  • Recycled: a recycled stock option for your printed folders.
  • Kraft: a distinctive rustic appearance.

Print single-sided or double-sided in full colour CMYK, black only, Pantone or CMYK plus Pantone. For projects that require close control of brand colours, our team can advise on the best combination of print, material and finish.

Finishing and Assembly Options

Add surface protection with matt, gloss, silk, soft touch matt or anti-scuff matt lamination. Highlight logos and titles with foiling or spot UV, or add texture and depth with embossing or debossing.

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: Folders with solid colour coverage to the outside must be gloss or matt laminated to avoid cracking and marking!

Choose folders supplied flat for compact storage and packing, or fully assembled and ready to fill.

FAQs

What’s the difference between interlocking and taped?
Taped folders are supplied with double sided tape applied to the tabs. You will need to remove the protective backing from the tape and stick the folder together. Interlocking folders are supplied with a tab and a slot so there is no need for any adhesive.
Are interlocking folders as strong as taped folders?

Interlocking folders are best suited to low on non capacity folders. The pocket on the taped folder will be permanently stuck down whereas the interlocking folder can be taken apart again so in that respect the taped folder is stronger.

Can I have a brochure stitched into the folder?

Yes, take a look at custom printed A5 Folder Brochures

Can I have more than one pocket in my folder?

Yes, we can add a 2nd pocket to the inside front cover – call us for a quote.

Can I have a vertical pocket instead of horizontal?

Yes – call us for a quote.

Can you print the sheets I want to insert into the folder?

Yes, we can print almost any documentation you like – including letterheads.

Can you supply my folders with the printed inserts already inserted into the pocket?

Yes, call us for a quote.

What’s the benefit of adding lamination?

Lamination will add strength to the folder and will ensure there is no cracking on the folded areas (spine and pocket). If you have a solid colour on your folder then lamination is essential.

What does capacity and non-capacity mean?
Capacity relates to how deep the spine is on the folder.  For more information about which capacity you need, visit our “Capacity of Presentation Folders” Guide.
How do I layout my artwork on the template? 
As you look at the template, the right hand panel will be the front cover of the folder and the left hand panel which has the pocket beneath will be the back cover – the cover folds up and sticks to the inside of the back page.
If you’re folder will be double sided you’ll need to flip the template over so that the pocket is now below the right hand panel. This will be the inside of the back page and the left hand panel will be the inside of the front cover.
