Bespoke folders for Universitat Politècnica de València

The project

For Universitat Politècnica de València, we produced a set of personalised folders with cut-out windows and transparent clips. The commission brought together bespoke folder design, colour printing and the manufacture of acrylic components that were laser-cut, engraved and heat-bent.

The folders combine a white background with yellow, orange and red graphics and the university’s visual identity. A cut-out window adds an opening to the printed design: the work extends beyond the graphic surface to define the shape of the folder itself.

Folder production included colour printing and cutting the window with a fibre laser. These are two distinct operations on the same piece, bringing together graphic personalisation and a cut-out in the folder.

For the clips, we used 2 mm clear acrylic, cut and engraved with a laser. We then applied heat to bend the components into their final shape. Their transparency contrasts with the printed areas, making these small elements a visible part of the set.
