About this mockup

A document folder folds from one 300–350 gsm board: pockets, a locking flap, fold-in flaps or a deep spine, by how much paper it holds. It is a company’s face when handing over files and contracts.

How to use this mockup

  1. Start from the 225 × 8 × 310 mm sample or type your own size.
  2. Design straight on its real dieline.
  3. Turn it in 3D, export a picture or video, or stage a scene.

Trade tips

  • Cards and flyers: 2–3 mm bleed and text at least 3 mm inside the trim.
  • A thin border at the trim shows any cutting shift: drop it or make it wider than 5 mm.
  • Coated (couche) paper prints photos sharply; laminate it so the folds do not crack.
  • Matte lamination feels premium and softens colours by about a shade: add contrast in the design.

Questions

Is the document folder with lock flap and hang hole mockup free?

Yes, commercial use included; Free adds a watermark grid at 1K, Pro exports 4K without it.

Can I use my own size for the document folder with lock flap and hang hole?

Yes — from the 225 × 8 × 310 mm sample or your own size, with the dieline redrawn.

Can I get the document folder with lock flap and hang hole dieline for printing?

Yes, with Pro: the die files (SVG, PDF / AI, DXF / CF2) and the CMYK print PDF; designing on the die is free.

What is the document folder with lock flap and hang hole sample printed on?

The sample is coated (C2S) 300 gsm with matte lamination, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.

Construction

One die-cut board with front and back covers and one or two pockets folding up inside, glued or tab-locked at the pocket edges; usually with a business card slot on the pocket. A spine version adds one or two parallel creases to hold thick documents.

Choosing board and material

Laminated 300–350 gsm coated or ivory board so the folder is stiff and scuff-resistant; fine paper for premium folders. Large, heavily filled folders should use 350 gsm so the pockets don't sag.

Finishing

Matt or gloss lamination on both sides (the inside is handled a lot too); a foiled logo on the front, spot UV. The card slot is die-cut to the company's card size.

Preparing the print file

Flat layout: back cover, front cover, pocket(s) and glue tabs. Both the inside covers and the pocket faces print — preview with a folding mockup. Put the card slot 15–20 mm from the pocket edge; keep type out of the slot and tab areas.

Common mistakes

  • Pocket artwork not rotated: once folded up, it's upside down.
  • A card slot that doesn't match the company card: cards don't fit or fall out.
  • No spine for thick documents: the folder bulges and won't close flat.

Questions and answers

What size is an A4 presentation folder?

Closed, about 220 × 310 mm to hold A4 with a margin; pockets about 80–120 mm high.

One pocket or two?

One for neat quotes and contracts; two to separate documents (company information one side, project papers the other), as for tenders and conferences.

Does a folder need a spine?

Under about 20 sheets, no; thicker sets need a 5–10 mm spine so the folder closes flat.
