Recommended ways to use original A4 clear files

Original A4 clear files are versatile items that can be used in a variety of situations.

We will introduce recommended ways to use original A4 clear files based on actual examples of what they are actually ordered for.

As official merchandise for movies and anime

A4 size clear files are a standard item in the merchandise corners of movie theaters and anime and idol specialty shops.

Some examples of reasons why they are used as official merchandise for movies, anime, and entertainment productions include the following:

• Add your favorite characters and works to your everyday scenes
• It can be enjoyed as a work of art.
• It is expected to become a collector’s item and be purchased multiple times.

Clear files are not only used by students, but also by working adults, so they are popular as items that allow students to feel closer to their favorite characters and works.

Additionally, in recent years, 100-yen shops and stationery stores have started selling “picture frames for displaying clear files” and “folders for collecting clear files,” allowing us to simply enjoy the designs.

Therefore, by creating and selling original A4 clear files with multiple designs and characters, you can appeal to the collector’s instincts of fans, leading to multiple purchases.

There is particularly a demand for multiple designs in the anime, movie, and entertainment industries. For example, in the case of idol groups, we have a track record of printing multiple types (4 to 18 types, etc.) of individual and group designs.

In addition to regular clear files, premium files (special materials) with unique designs such as holograms, aurora borealis and metallic designs are also popular for movies and events.

As a novelty item at exhibitions, etc.

The advantage of clear files is that they are not bulky and can display original designs over a wide area.

Therefore, it is also useful in situations where mass distribution and branding are required, such as at exhibitions.

We especially recommend original A4 clear files for the following reasons:

• Recognize your company name, products and services
• Easy to hand over documents and flyers
• Easy to carry for the recipient
• Highly practical and easy to accept
• It is not bulky so large quantities can be brought to the venue.

Novelties that merely include a name on them will make it difficult for people to remember later what products your company handles, so items that can be easily accessed visually are required.

Original A4 clear files make it easy to convey your company’s image through their design, and you can also incorporate the products and services you offer into the design, making them easier to recognize.

If you distribute them with documents, leaflets, or business cards of the person in charge inside, they will be easy for the recipient to carry and may lead to business negotiations later.

As a souvenir for graduation and graduation

We also accept small lot orders for Kasamart’s original A4 clear files, starting from 100 sheets using offset printing, or 10 sheets using on-demand printing.

Many people create clear file folders as a memento of their graduation or graduation from kindergarten, along with their classmates and teachers.

They are popular and highly practical keepsakes that can be used at schools and cram schools.

The following designs are often seen on the classic A4 clear file.

• Student Photos
• School Photos
• school song

In addition to being used as graduation or graduation commemorative gifts, they are also often used as goods to commemorate school closings and anniversaries.

If you use photos taken in class or with teachers in the design, they will cherish them with nostalgia even after they grow up.

If you are worried about not having the specialized software or skills to create designs, please use our optional ” Design Creation Agency Service .”

As original goods for doujinshi sales events

In recent years, it has become possible to create unique original goods, but what fans love most are those that use an abundance of illustrations from their favorite artists.

With an original A4 clear file, you can enjoy designs by your favorite artists in everyday scenes.

In actual cases, most of the requests we receive are from people who want to give them as gifts as a bonus to fans who purchase books, merchandise, etc.

Kasamart’s clear file printing has been recognized for its high color reproducibility through the Japan Color Certification System, allowing you to create high-quality original goods.

We also offer a color proofing option, which allows you to check the color before actual printing, at an additional cost .

We can handle small lots, and we also offer a direct delivery option for the Summer and Winter Comiket, so you can rest assured about delivering to the venue.

What material is the most transparent A4 clear file?

A4 clear files are also popular because they take advantage of the inherent transparency of the material, allowing you to enjoy a wide range of designs.

Since transparency varies depending on the material, if you are considering a design with a see-through feel, we recommend that you check in advance the material and transparency of the clear file itself.

The main materials used for clear files are as follows:

• PP (Polypropylene)
• Recycled PP (polypropylene)
• Recycled PET

The most common PP material is translucent, which is suitable for soft designs with a moderate degree of transparency.

Recycled PP is a highly transparent material made from 100% recycled raw materials, allowing for more transparent designs than regular PP.

On the other hand, since it is easily scratched, it is not suitable as a material for goods that you want to preserve the beautiful illustrations and photographs for a long time or that you want people to use for a long time.

For this reason, we recommend recycled PP as a material that has a certain degree of transparency and will maintain its beautiful design for a long time.

At Kasamart, we use recycled PP for our “A4 Clear File Highly Transparent Eco”, which not only makes photos look beautiful, but also has the added benefit of being able to include the eco mark (allowing you to promote environmental friendliness).

Since it is easier to handle than PET material, which is easily scratched, it is ideal not only as a free novelty item, but also as a sale item at LOHAS events.

Size and weight of A4 clear file

When creating a clear file with an original design, an important thing to consider is “what size to make it in.”

Japanese books and stationery mainly use size standards known as A and B, and clear files are also made in sizes that can store documents of these sizes.

The main clear file sizes that can be ordered through Kasamart are as follows.

As mentioned above, A4 clear files are suitable for common print sizes such as official documents and documents used in offices.

Therefore, if you are unsure which size of clear file to choose, we recommend the most versatile A4 size.

Also, if you need to mail a clear file by itself, such as through mail order, you should take into consideration the weight as well as the size.

A clear file is generally 0.2mm thick and weighs about 26g (this may vary depending on the packaging, such as being sealed in an OPP bag).

If you send it by mail, it will be a non-standard size, so if it is less than 50g, it will cost about 120 yen (rate as of 2021). (A square No. 20 envelope is appropriate.)
