L-Shape Folder Sizes & Finishes Singapore: A4, A5, Matte vs Glossy & Frosted
An L-shape folder looks simple — one sheet of plastic, folded and sealed on two sides — but the size and finish make a real difference to how it holds documents and how premium it feels. Before you order L shape folder printing, here’s a quick guide to sizes and finishes.
The 30-second version: A4 is the standard (fits most documents); choose a thicker PP gauge for durability and a matte or frosted finish for a premium, fingerprint-resistant look versus glossy for vivid colour. Our default MOQ is 200 pieces, though it isn’t strict — smaller runs are often possible when a style is in stock or the artwork is simplified.
Sizes & thickness
| Spec | Notes |
|---|---|
| A4 | The standard — fits letters, reports, brochures |
| A5 | Smaller leaflets, vouchers, menus |
| PP thickness (gauge) | Thicker = sturdier & more premium |
| Expandable gusset | Holds more pages if needed |
Finishes
The surface finish sets the tone: glossy makes colours pop and feels bright; matte looks understated and resists fingerprints; frosted/translucent gives a modern, premium look where the document shows through subtly. Match it to your brand — a corporate, restrained brand often suits matte or frosted, while a colourful consumer brand pops on glossy. The material itself (PP plastic vs paper card) is the other big call — see our PP vs paper folder guide.
