The present invention provides a kit for a portfolio folder which is readily adapted to be purchased by a small photocopy or printing center. The front panel (10) of the kit is sized to become comparable to that of normal paper sizes and readily adapted to have printed material applied to at least one side thereof by use of standard sized photographic or offset printing equipment. After application of indicia or printed matter to the front panel, the components of the kit are then assembled by securing the front panel to the rear panel (12). The kit may also include a binding apparatus for securing to either the front (10) or rear panel for retaining sheet material in the assembled portfolio folder. The kit and method in accordance with the present invention permit small quantities of folders to be provided with customized printing on the front panel at relatively low cost. <IMAGE>
