• -  Custom Made A4 Lever Arch File.  Just like a bespoke suit or dress, this item is custom made to your specification of colour, materials and personalisation. We are effectively starting with a blank page and you tell us via the questions on the right, what you would like. 
  
  -  Personalised Your Way. There is no limit to type size, length or how many lines you would like, embellishments or indeed what you would like the title of your portfolio to say or where you would like it placed on the cover (and or on the spine). 
  
  -  In A Wide Choice of Materials.  For no extra charge, you can choose any colour combination you want, or should you prefer a single colour. More information can be found by clicking the tabs above .
  
  -  Two Sizes of Lever Arch Mechanisms.  We offer two sizes of lever arch mechanisms - 55mm and 65mm. We've dedicated a whole page, to what's available which can be found on this link here, Ring Binder and Lever Arch Mechanisms
  
   -  Need Help.  Hopefully all answers you'll need are in the tabbed section above, but if by any chance you have any further questions or any problems, then please feel free to call us.

• -  A portfolio has an outer cover and inner cover. There is no extra charge for having more than one colour or how and where you use them.
  
  -  There is however a one off charge for using a non standard material.
  
  -  For the outer cover we strongly suggest you use either a Buckram or Faux Leather as these can be wiped clean. Windsor and Colorado book cloths cannot!
  
  -  Please see all the fabrics and colours here:  H&Co Colour Swatch Guide.
  
  -  If you are in any doubt about your choice of colours, we suggest you contact us at info@hartnackandco.com and ask for some fabric swatch samples to be sent out to you.
• -  How. Your portfolios can be personalised in a number of different ways.
  
                   Blind Deboss                               Colour Foil                                    Name Plaque
    
  
  -  Where. Your personalisation can be placed anywhere you like on the cover. For instance, the bottom right hand corner or centre and a third of the way up. In order to do this we make a metal die plate of your name. (below)
                             
  Having made the metal stamp of your name for the cover, we can also use the same die plate to stamp elsewhere, for example on the spine (cost £20.00).
  
  -  Can I have a different one elsewhere? Yes, you can have as many as you like, but each new personalisation will require a new metal die plate (as above) and therefore an extra charge.  
  
  -  Choose Your Typeface. When ordering you will be asked to choose a typeface/font. A clearer version can be found here, but for reference please see below.
  
     
  If none of the above appeal to you, you can tell us another font, but it would depend upon whether we have it available in our Adobe Fonts system.
  
  -  For more information. Our guide to personalisation can be found on this page here, Guide To Personalisation.

• Our process runs as follows. Our process runs as follows. Your order enters the production queue the moment you check out. You will receive, via email, an Order Confirmation sheet. At the bottom of this page you will find an expected despatch date. (Please make sure you reply to this email as it ensures we have understood your order correctly and will not start making your order until we have this confirmation).
  
  When do you need it by? We understand that you have an interview deadline so we will ask you, when ordering, what that is. If for whatever reason we can't make your portfolio by then, we'll let you know within 24 hours of ordering.
  
  Can there be hold ups? Yes, but these are mainly always down to not getting confirmations back regarding personalisation proofs. If we haven't heard from you we will not get your die made until we hear that you are happy with the spelling and positioning of your name. We get our metal dies made once a week, so we have to have deadlines.
  
  How do you deliver? We use DHL couriers and their next day delivery service. You should get an email from them when your portfolio has been collected from us with tracking details.

• - How many page protectors will my portfolio hold? The portfolio featured in the photos above has a 65mm lever arch mechanism and has in it 100 of our 110 micron plastic page protectors. We would expect the 55mm to hold approximately 75 of our page protectors.
  
  - Plastic Page Protectors? We sell very good quality, A4 sized, top loading, polypropylene plastic page protectors that are 110 micron thick and glass clear. These are archive safe, so will not affect the printed contents  in future years. They can be ordered either here or while ordering your lever arch portfolio on this page. PLEASE NOTE, these do not fit 4 Ring Binders.
  
  - Do you make bigger portfolios? Yes we do but they are Ring Binders and can be found here .
  
   - Do you sell Divider Tabs? Unfortunately not. The black personalised dividers shown in the photo above can be purchased from medical portfolios.com, a link can be found here 
  For bespoke, personalised dividers, go to Carlsson Express Tabs ltd.
  If you buy dividers from WH Smith, Staples, etc than we just need to remind you that they need to be A4+ or A4 Wide to accommodate the page protectors.
   
  - Help? If you are having any problems when placing your order, please feel free to contact us directly. We can't take payments over the phone, but we can certainly help you with placing your order.
  

The title of 'basic' does not do any H&Co medical portfolio much justice as the outer and inner covers are still a combined 5mm thick, it has a quality lever arch mechanism and is still individually handmade.

Unlike our bespoke medical portfolios however, this is only available in one colour combination and the personalisation in one style and in one place. The mechanism is a 65mm lever arch mechanism which will fit a little over 100 good quality page protectors and 16 plastic dividers. 

• Quality 65mm lever arch mechanism.
• Hard wearing black acrylic coated outer cover.
• Hard wearing pewter acrylic coated inner cover.
• White printed name and portfolio title on the cover only.
• Fast turn-around time.

• Over size A4+ plastic tabbed dividers that fit over plastic page protectors.
• Available in black or white 0.47mm polypropylene.
• Numbered 1 -14 in either contrasting white or black.
• Size including tab 244mm wide x 297mm high
