Should You Choose a Closed or Open-Design Business Padfolio?
When deciding whether to get a closed or open-design business padfolio, consider how often you will be using your padfolio and where you will be traveling with it most frequently. For situations where you are only using your padfolio for interviews, events and less frequent occasions, an open design may be the better option for quick resume retrieval and ease of notetaking. For individuals who will use this padfolio during their daily commutes and everyday meetings, a closed design (zippered) padfolio may be the best option to ensure papers and documents aren’t dropped or lost during transit throughout the day.
What Can You Store in a Professional Padfolio?
The design of professional padfolios varies between products. Depending on your needs, look for options that can store:
- Resumes
- Documents
- Hole-punched paper
- Notepads
- Index cards
- Calculators
- IDs
- Business cards
- Pens, pencils, and markers
- Laptops and tablets
- Cellphones
Often, padfolios are designed with specially sized pockets or internal folders to safely and snugly hold common office items you’d want to carry on the go.
