A folder with stitched inserts combines a 9" x 12" presentation folder and a printed booklet in one piece. Your 9" x 12" pages are saddle-stitched into the center of a heavy 14pt folder cover, so they read in order and can't fall out or get shuffled, while the folder's pockets still hold additional 8.5" x 11" documents. Every page prints in full color on both sides with full bleed, on 100# gloss or matte book paper inside. Choose 8, 12, 16 or 20 total pages. Use them as a roofing or home improvement leave-behind, a retirement community brochure for prospective residents, member and membership books, media and press kits, annual reports, school and program guides, product catalogs and training manuals.

Quick Answers
What is a folder with stitched inserts?
It is a 9" x 12" presentation folder with printed 9" x 12" pages saddle-stitched into the center fold, so it opens and reads like a booklet with a heavy folder cover. The pages can't fall out or get shuffled, and the pockets still hold loose 8.5" x 11" documents.
How are the page counts figured?
The folder cover counts as 4 pages: the front, inside front, inside back and back. That's why our options are 8 Pages (4 Pages + Folder cover), 12 Pages (8 Pages + Folder cover), 16 Pages (12 Pages + Folder cover) and 20 Pages (16 Pages + Folder cover).
What is the minimum order?
The minimum order for folders with stitched inserts is 250.
Stitched inserts or loose pages?
Choose stitched inserts when the content stays the same for every recipient and should read in order, like a booklet. Choose a standard 9" x 12" pocket folder with loose pages when you need to swap or personalize pages for each client.
Why do roofing contractors use stitched insert folders?
A stitched insert folder gives homeowners a detailed brochure to keep after the estimate, with photos of every roof and color option, testimonials, warranties and company experience bound in, plus pockets for the estimate and contract. It sets your company apart from roofers who leave a single quote sheet.
What do retirement communities include in them?
Retirement and senior living communities use them to show living spaces and floor plans, photos of the grounds and facilities, services and amenities, and resident testimonials, with pricing sheets and applications in the pockets.
