About this dieline
A pocket folder is the printed card folder you hand out at a meeting or a viewing: two covers that close like a book, with a pocket inside each to hold papers, a brochure or a price list. It is cut from one sheet, and each pocket folds up and is glued by a small tab at its outer end.
Enter the size of one cover and how tall the pockets are. You can have one pocket instead of two, a spine for a thicker stack of pages, and two small slits that hold a business card. You get a PDF at true size with the cut outline, the folds, the glue tabs and the printable area. The standard folder is 9 × 12 in (228.6 × 304.8 mm) with 4 in (101.6 mm) pockets, made for letter and A4 pages.
How tall should the pockets be?
About a third of the folder: 4 in (101.6 mm) on the standard 9 × 12 in folder, 3 in (76.2 mm) on a small 6 × 9 in one. Low enough that the pages show, deep enough to hold them. The pocket can be at most half the folder's height.
How thick a stack does it hold?
Set it in Stack thickness, in millimetres: 1 mm is about 10 sheets of office paper, so 5 mm holds about 50. At 0 the folder has one fold at the spine and lies flat. Give it a few millimetres and the spine becomes a strip that wide, and the pockets open out to hold the same stack. The dieline shows the folder from the outside, the side you print.
