What’s the manufacturing process behind Nicky’s® Folders?

At Rochester 100®, it’s our goal to give you folders that are backed by our commitment to price, quality and service. By combining industrial-grade materials with American-made craftsmanship, we ensure every product will uphold those standards. Here’s our step-by-step process:

Quote & Customization Features

Our manufacturing process begins when a quote is requested. Our first steps are to look at your specific dimensions, quantity needs, and any custom branding. Once the requirements are confirmed and the pricing is approved, the order is officially scheduled for manufacturing.

Preparing for Production

Before we begin the production process, our production team prepares the appropriate materials and machine settings according to the specific type of Nicky’s® Folder being manufactured. We double check folder dimensions, materials, and any custom features. 

Materials and Welding

Next, it’s time to build the folder. We use archival safe polypropylene material and we use this material we use for a reason. It’s tough, water-resistant, easy to sanitize, and most importantly, won’t lift the ink off your important documents. The folder is then sealed using ultrasonic technology, creating a long-lasting seal that is resistant to ripping and tearing.

Quality Control Inspection

We don’t just ship anything we produce. Before packaging the final product, every folder is inspected by our production team. We check for clean cuts, correct sizing, and most importantly, durability. 

Packaging and Shipping

Our commitment to fast, reliable shipping is a pillar in building lasting trust. At Rochester 100®, we take pride in ensuring your orders are handled with care and precision, from the moment they leave our production floor to the second they reach your door.
