Capacity - what is it and how much do I need?
A folder with 'capacity' has a certain depth to its spine and pocket, in order to accommodate more inserts.
Typically, capacity folders will have a capacity somewhere between 5mm and 10mm. Whether or not you need capacity will depend on the number of inserts and the thickness of the paper they're printed on.
