Instead of the usual white or yellowish folder, it is good to invest on colors that people do not usually see, but still looks very decent for a presentation folder. Silver for example can be great, as well as gold. Light pastel colors are also great since they can be subtle but very different as well. As long as it is an uncommon color, your folder should definitely be noticeable and memorable as well.

The definite thing you need here is to use full color images, and variable color text so that they are very noticeable to people even from a far.

This basically means that the location of the color folder design elements should be in the appropriate area that makes them easy to use or read. Pockets and slits should be placed where your other materials can be slid and taken out easily. The images and text messages should be on parts of the folder where they can be easily seen or read. Of course this all must be done with aesthetics involved so that it is useful but looks beautiful as well. This is one of the good hallmarks of a truly great presentation folders.

This may be expensive for custom folders, but the investment in them should be well worth it since you should be able to use your custom folders for a very long time if you make them quite durable. The longer lasting and useful the custom folder is, the greater it is than most out there.
