Why Choose Premium Presentation Folders for Your Christmas Corporate Gifts?
When the festive season rolls around, standing out with your corporate gifts isn’t just about what’s inside the package — it’s also about how it’s presented. Premium Christmas presentation folders offer a smart, stylish way to showcase your brand and make your gifting truly memorable. At Newstyle Print, we’ve helped countless businesses across the UK create festive packs that feel special to receive and professional to give.
Let’s break down why these folders are more than just a fancy wrapper, and how you can make the most of them for your own Christmas gifting.
Helpful Tips for Choosing the Right Presentation Folder
1. Pick the Right Paper Weight and Finish
Choosing the right paper weight can feel a bit overwhelming at first, especially if you’re not familiar with printing terms. But in general, presentation folders that weigh between 300 to 400gsm tend to hit the sweet spot. This weight range is sturdy enough to protect whatever you’re putting inside—whether that’s delicate brochures or heavier samples—yet it’s still smooth and pleasant to hold. It’s that tactile quality that often sticks in people’s minds.
Now, when it comes to finishes, you’ve got a few options that subtly change the vibe of your folder. A matte or silk finish lends a quiet elegance and sophistication, which is ideal if you want your brand to come across as refined and understated. On the other hand, gloss lamination injects a festive shine that can catch the light in a way that feels celebratory without being overwhelming. It’s a nice way to nod to the season without resorting to gaudy visuals.
2. Consider Your Folder Style and Size
Folders aren’t one-size-fits-all, and picking the right style depends heavily on what your gift pack includes. Single-pocket folders work well if you’re just slipping in a greeting card and maybe a brochure. But if your corporate gift involves multiple components—like vouchers, product samples, or USB drives—a double-pocket or even tri-fold design can keep everything neatly organised.
Size matters too. Most corporate gifts use an A4 folder or one slightly larger, which provides enough room for standard documents without making the package look oversized or unwieldy. Using a folder that’s too small can squash your contents, causing wrinkles or creases, which definitely undermines the premium feel you’re aiming for.
3. Design with Festive Flair but Keep It Professional
It’s tempting, especially during Christmas, to go all out with bright reds, greens, and loads of seasonal motifs. But in many corporate settings, this can actually backfire—over-the-top designs might come across as unprofessional or too casual. The trick is to weave in festive elements in a way that complements your brand’s identity rather than overshadowing it.
For instance, using your brand colours as the base and layering in subtle gold foil accents or a delicate spot UV pattern can add just enough sparkle to feel special. One client we worked with opted for a navy blue folder with understated gold foil snowflakes, a combination that felt festive but still very much on-brand and sophisticated. These small touches often make the biggest impression.
4. Don’t Overlook Practical Details
Beyond looks, practical features can elevate your presentation folder from a simple container to a memorable keepsake. Including slits for business cards, pockets for CDs or USB drives, or even custom die-cuts can add a layer of functionality that recipients appreciate. It’s these thoughtful details that suggest careful consideration went into the gift, which in turn reflects well on your company.
Also, consider the spine width of the folder. You want enough room so that the folder doesn’t bulge awkwardly when it’s packed but not so wide that it looks empty or bulky. Getting this balance right helps maintain a polished, professional appearance.
5. Eco-Friendly Options Are a Plus
More businesses nowadays are keen to show they care about sustainability, and your corporate gifting is no exception. Fortunately, eco-friendly doesn’t have to mean compromising on quality or aesthetics. Newstyle Print offers a range of recycled papers and environmentally conscious finishes that still look sharp and feel substantial.
Choosing recycled materials can send a positive signal about your company’s values without detracting from the impact of your gift. It’s a subtle but increasingly important consideration that recipients are likely to notice and appreciate, especially as environmental awareness grows.
Case Example: How a London Agency Elevated Their Christmas Gifting
To put these ideas into perspective, consider a creative agency based in London that approached us last year. They wanted to make an impression on their top-tier clients with a Christmas gift pack that felt both festive and professional. After discussing their needs, they opted for double-pocket premium folders with a matte finish. The colour scheme was their signature navy blue paired with subtle gold foil accents that caught the light just right.
Inside, they included personalised greeting cards, a branded USB stick loaded with exclusive content, and vouchers for future services. The recipients frequently commented on the tactile quality of the folder and how well it showcased each gift element. The agency later shared that this presentation helped deepen client relationships and even sparked several follow-up meetings—proof that the folder wasn’t just packaging but a strategic part of their client engagement.
