Portfolios & Padfolios: Types & Styles

Portfolios in the past are any carrying case or bag for your documents and art. Nowadays, a portfolio can be a full-size portfolio with a handle and sling strap to carry your artwork or computer for presentation. Or it can also be a compact padfolio you can have under your arm or keep inside your bag.

Portfolio Types By Purpose

Based on the purpose, a portfolio can be a documents portfolio, artwork portfolio, resume portfolio, blueprints portfolio, etc. Thicker contents require a thicker portfolio; heavier contents need sturdier materials, and so on.

The typical work and school portfolios are now sleek and compact portfolios, aptly called padfolios. Padfolios are small enough to carry but should be able to hold an iPad or tablet, legal-sized notebooks or documents, cards, pens, and other essentials.

Smaller padfolios are not meant to carry iPads or similar devices but are useful in keeping smaller notebooks, pens, money, keys, etc. These compact padfolios are perfect for daily use and as travel organizers for your passports or cards.

Portfolio Types By Materials

Portfolios, padfolios, binders, and document organizers come in different types of materials that determine the strength and durability of the portfolio.

Rigid materials like hard plastic, vinyl, leather, or wired fabrics can carry bulkier and heavier materials. You’ll want these durable materials for your portfolio if you want a protective and lasting product. Water-resistant materials are also vital if you intend to keep papers and devices in your portfolio.

The hardware, including zippers, handles, buttons, and similar components, also plays an integral part in the durability of a portfolio. These, along with high-quality stitching, reinforce the strength of any materials used, making a portfolio that can stand the test of time. 

Portfolio Types By Design

Portfolio types come in varying designs with varying functionalities. The most basic are the simple sleeves, folder, or envelope styles for keeping paper documents. These designs have no locking or fastening mechanisms except for some kinds that can have a thin elastic cord or strap.

The expandable envelope design can hold multiple documents separately. A thicker version of the folder design is the binder type which can be used to keep thicker papers, notebooks, and devices like an iPad or tablet. Standard fastenings for these styles are wide elastic bands, zippers, magnetic straps, or snap-on buttons.

Portfolios with zipper closures are commonly used to keep and secure loose items, artworks, or bulky contents. Multi-pocket portfolios can have multiple types of fastenings and closures. These multifunctional portfolios are intended to hold and organize documents, pens, cards, and devices.
