Glossy folders are typically made from plastic (commonly polypropylene) or from 100 lb cardstock with a glossy coating. Product listings commonly describe both plastic/polypropylene and glossy cardstock options.
Most glossy folders have two pockets. Sheet-capacity examples in listings range from about 100 up to 200 sheets (common examples include 100, 150, and 200 sheets).
Many glossy folders include a left-side business card slot. Some also feature 3-hole punches or prongs so the folder or its contents can be placed into a standard binder.
Common pack sizes include 3 folders per pack for many glossy presentation folders, single-unit prong folders sold individually, and case packs of 48 for bulk poly classroom folders.
Listings describe a classic glossy exterior (often paired with a matte interior) and note durable construction—examples include 100 lb cardstock or glossy-embellished covers that increase longevity.
Some glossy folders are sold in small multi-packs (commonly 3 per pack), while poly classroom folders are often offered as case packs of 48 for bulk purchasing.
