Our standard pocket folders are either no-capacity 'flat', 5mm capacity or 10mm capacity.

As a rough guide, 'flat' pocket folders can hold up to approx 15 sheets of A4 copy paper. 5mm pockets hold around 45 sheets of A4 and 10mm capacity pockets can hold up to 90 sheets of 80gsm A4 copy paper. The number of sheets that you can fit in may reduce depending on the thickness of the inserts' stock, so it is best to measure the thickness of the actual inserts you will be using first just to make sure.
