Handmade preaching folders for magazines and tracts

7 products

Magazine and tract folders are rigid card folders, covered by hand with decorative paper, that keep your publications flat and tidy when you go out preaching. There are two tract holders, the new 11 × 14 cm one (€15) and the classic 25.5 × 10.5 cm one (€17), and a 19.5 × 26 cm magazine folder (€25), with your name on the cover if you like. Quote within 48 hours, shipping across Europe.

They are the piece we are best known for. They started as a commission from someone who wanted to carry their magazines and tracts unbent when out preaching, and ever since we have made them one by one in our workshop. They are not sold in shops: only here, and only handmade. If you searched for “preaching folder”, “magazine folder” or “tract holder”, these are the ones.

The tract holder opens like an accordion and comes in two sizes: the new 11 × 14 cm one is sized for the new tracts and has nine dividers; the classic 25.5 × 10.5 cm one has dividers and two card pockets, and fits in a handbag or a jacket pocket. Both keep every tract flat and to hand. The magazine folder has four dividers and a plastic pocket for loose sheets, and doubles as a document holder. Both have metal corners and an elastic band closure. You can order them separately or as a matching set, like the cactus one in pastel tones (€38).

Each model has a different paper: sheet music, Paris and the Eiffel Tower, vintage roses, roses on a grey background, a classic green pattern or cactus. You choose the outer paper, the colour of the elastic band and the size if you need another format, and you can add your name on the cover or a charm on the spine for a small extra cost. They are a popular gift for baptisms and assemblies, and many customers end up ordering two: one for themselves and one to give.

They are fully covered so the card does not mark with daily use, and the metal corners protect exactly where they rub most. With normal care they last for years.

To order, open the model you like and use the product form: tell us how many you want, the name and whether you would like to change the paper or the colours. We reply within 48 hours with price, lead time and shipping. They take two to three weeks and ship with tracking anywhere in Europe, from €5.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the tract holder and the magazine folder?
Size and interior. The new tract holder measures 11 × 14 cm, sized for the new tracts, and opens like an accordion with nine dividers; the classic one measures 25.5 × 10.5 cm and has dividers and two card pockets. The magazine folder measures 19.5 × 26 cm and has four dividers and a plastic pocket. Many people carry both.
Are they good for preaching?
Yes, that is what they are most used for. The tract holder goes in your bag with each tract in its own compartment, and the magazine folder carries magazines and brochures without creasing. They are light, fully covered and have reinforced corners, so they stand up to weekly use.
How much do they cost?
The new 11 × 14 cm tract holder costs €15 and the classic 25.5 × 10.5 cm one €17; the magazine folder costs €25 and the matching set €38. A name on the cover and a charm cost a little extra, and shipping is separate, from €5.
Are they made of fabric? Which colours can I choose?
No, they are rigid card covered with decorative paper. You choose the outer paper (music, Paris, roses, classic green, cactus, plus checks, stripes, maps or plain) and the colour of the elastic band: pink, sage green, grey, black… If you want a design that is not on the website, we will suggest papers.
Can you add my name? Is it embroidered?
Yes, the name goes on the cover for a small extra cost; on some models it can also go on the spine. It is not embroidered, because the folders are paper-covered card, not fabric.
How long do they take?
Two to three weeks from when you confirm the quote: the Roses tract holder about two; the other models and the set about three. Orders of several units take a little longer, plus shipping time.
Do you ship to France and the rest of Europe?
Yes. We ship to France and anywhere in Europe with tracking, from €5; the exact cost and delivery time are in your quote. The folders travel well protected.
Do you take orders for several units?
Yes. For groups and gifts among friends we adjust the price from five units and can put a different name on each folder.
