Landlords and agents hand paper to people every week. Lease packets, move in checklists and listing sheets. Most of it goes in a plain folder from the office supply store, or in no folder at all. That is a missed chance, and I want to show you why.
I own Wholesale Pocket Folders in Phoenix. We are the number one folder printer in the US, and a lot of what we print goes to real estate offices and property managers. Here is the story I tell every one of them.
The open house story
Picture an agent selling a $1 million home. The open house is this weekend. The commission on that sale could be $10,000 to $20,000, so the agent wants to hand out something really nice.
That agent orders 100 or 250 of our Standard folders with spot UV. The photos and the listing go inside. Buyers walk out holding that house. They have it on the kitchen table that night. The house they toured next left them with nothing. Ours wins. The folder makes them feel more connected, like it is already their home.
That is what a folder does. It is the one thing from the showing that is still in the buyer’s hand the next morning.
Economy or Standard, which one does a rental office need?
For lease packets, tenant welcome kits and routine handouts, our Economy S-01E is the right folder. For a listing, a luxury unit or anything where the folder has to stand out, step up to the Standard S-01.
Economy is one of our best sellers. Great folder, great paper and high quality print, at a price that makes sense for something you hand to every new tenant. People start there, love it, and come back later wanting embellishments. That is when we move them to Standard.
Standard adds custom business card slits and one or two pockets. It also has a 16 pt upgrade, uncoated and linen stocks and PMS colors. The finishes are where it gets fun. Dull coating looks closer to real life. Soft touch lamination is the most popular finish right now. Spot UV makes one part of the folder pop, like a logo or a single photo.
Why the paper matters more than you think
The number one complaint I hear from people who bought folders elsewhere is thin paper. The box shows up and the folder is flimsy. Cheap paper with a weak coating makes the print look grainy and dull. People think they saved money. Then they are not happy.
Every folder we make is 14 pt C2S, which means 14 point stock coated on both sides. About two truckloads of that paper come into our shop every month. We buy so much that we pay what most shops pay for thinner paper coated on one side. You get a thicker folder for a lower price.
The price table
Company Folders lists 14 pt C1S, coated on one side only, on its full color 9x12 page. Here is how the two line up.
Qty | Wholesale Pocket Folders 14 pt C2S | Company Folders 14 pt C1S (min 50) |
100 | 239(2.39 each) | $519 |
250 | $359 | $626 |
1,000 | $587 (59 cents each) | $1,093 |
2,000 | $870 | $1,748 |
Prices as posted in early November 2026. They can change.
At 1,000 folders that is 59 cents each on our side. Every quantity is priced on wholesalepocketfolders.com with no account and no quote request.
Speed, and why I can call us number one
Standard turnaround is 2 business days on 1,000 folders and under after you approve the free PDF proof. The proof usually comes the same day. Need it faster, a 1 day rush is a small fee.
Here is the rest of what backs up number one. Every folder prints on a Fujifilm J Press with G7 calibrated color. A $500,000 line die cuts, folds and glues from the flat sheet to the finished folder at about 3,000 folders an hour. We have run over 13 million folders in the last 3 years with fewer than 20 reprints. No setup fee, and we keep your files 3 to 4 years so next year’s lease packet reorder is easy.
