This rigid cover folder was prepared for a premium real estate sales package, with interior pockets designed to hold the printed sales materials. The file was set up as a duotone using silver ink and black, with special attention to how metallic ink, dense blacks, and image contrast would behave on press.

The prepress work focused on overprint behavior, saturation control, ink density, and the balance between a dark luxury surface and readable brand details. On pieces like this, the file cannot simply look correct on screen; it has to anticipate how the print process will hold tone, contrast, and metallic finish.

Production support was based on supplied creative direction and approved artwork. The technical value is in preparing the folder so the final object feels intentional, rich, and controlled after printing, mounting, and pocket assembly.
