When you're bidding a big remodel or a full roof replacement against three other contractors, a presentation folder is what separates the pro from the guy with a stapled quote. You hand the homeowner a folder with your proposal, warranty, references, and business card tucked into the pockets, and the whole package says you do this for a living.

We design 9x12 folders with two pockets and business-card slits, scored to close clean over a full proposal. Printed on heavy cover stock in gloss, matte, or soft-touch, so the first thing the customer holds feels like it's worth the price you're about to quote.

Often ordered with: Special Shape Cards, Blank Letterheads, and Business Card Magnets.

Common questions

When is a presentation folder worth it?
On high-ticket bids: remodels, roof replacements, full HVAC systems. When the homeowner is comparing you to other contractors, the folder makes your proposal look like the professional choice before they've read a word.

What goes inside?
Your proposal, warranty terms, references or reviews, financing options, and a business card in the slit. Everything the homeowner needs to say yes, organized in one place.

Which finish should I pick?
Soft-touch feels the most premium and justifies a higher bid. Gloss pops with color and resists fingerprints. Matte is the clean, understated middle.

Ordering print in Tampa Bay

Do you ship print orders to Tampa Bay?

Yes. Everything we print ships — to Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Wesley Chapel, Brandon, or wherever your crew is working. Shipping time is on top of the print turnaround, and we confirm the total before you approve the proof.

How fast can I get signs or cards for a job starting this week?

Most orders proof within one business day and print in three to seven business days, plus shipping. Rush is available on yard signs, business cards and door hangers — put your date in the form below and we will tell you what is actually possible.

Will yard signs and banners hold up in Florida sun and humidity?

We spec UV inks and heavier stock on anything that lives outdoors in Florida. Tell us the sign is going in full sun or near salt air and we will recommend the material that lasts instead of the cheapest one.

Do I need artwork before I can order?

No. Design is included. Send a logo, a photo of your truck, or nothing at all, and our design team builds the artwork and sends you a proof before anything prints.

Ready to get it printed?

Send us your logo and we will handle artwork, proofing, and production. If you do not have artwork yet, our design team builds it for you.
