One Wallet From the Airport to the Hotel Lobby
Travelers juggle boarding passes, hotel vouchers, transfer tickets and a passport at every checkpoint. A travel wallet puts all of them in one place, in the order the trip unfolds. Your agency name rides along on every leg.
The format differs from a desk folder. A long, narrow wallet of about 4.5 x 9.5 in fits a handbag or jacket pocket and holds tri-folded letter pages. It is closer in size to an airline ticket jacket than to a 9 x 12 in office folder.
Handing over a printed wallet also marks the moment a booking becomes a real trip. Travelers open it at home, check every page and keep it close until they fly.

Pocket Layouts for Passports, Tickets and Itineraries
Most designs use a tall back pocket for the folded itinerary and a shorter front pocket for tickets and vouchers. A separate pocket sized for a US passport keeps it from sliding loose. Card slits hold a luggage tag card or your agency contact card.
Group tours often add a printed day-by-day map inside the cover. For single-event passes, our custom ticket jackets for events offer a smaller one-pocket option.
How Agencies Plan a Travel Wallet
- List every document a traveler receives, from boarding passes to tour vouchers.
- Fold a sample itinerary to see whether it needs a tall pocket or a wider wallet.
- Choose paper board for most trips, or poly for cruises and outdoor tours.
- Send your logo, destination photos and the contact panel text.
- Approve the free digital proof, then we print and ship to your agency office.
Designing Custom Travel Document Folders That Last the Trip
A trip is hard on paper. Wallets get packed, sat on and pulled out in the rain. Gloss or matte lamination on 16 pt C2S keeps the cover intact, and glued pockets hold their shape after weeks of use.
For rugged adventure trips, a polypropylene wallet resists water and wipes clean. Elastic band closures or a magnet flap stop papers from slipping out in transit. Our custom plastic folders in poly cover the stock options in detail.
Leatherette is another choice for premium cruises and honeymoon packages. A debossed logo on a leatherette wallet turns the folder into a keepsake travelers reuse.
Branding Ideas for Agencies and Cruise Sellers
Destination photos print well in full color across the outside spread. A clean back panel with your phone number and emergency contact line helps travelers reach you on the road. Foil stamping adds a polished touch for luxury tours.
Agencies that sell several brands can run one wallet layout in several cover designs. We check your files before printing, and the artwork guidelines for print-ready files explain bleed and image resolution.

Custom Travel Document Folders: questions we get
Will a passport fit inside?
Yes. We size a pocket for a standard US passport book, so it sits snug without sliding out. Tell us if you also want room for a passport cover.
What size fits a folded itinerary?
A letter page folded in thirds measures about 3.7 x 8.5 in. A wallet of about 4.5 x 9.5 in holds it with room to spare.
Can the wallet stay closed in a bag?
Add an elastic band, a magnet flap or a ribbon tie. Each one stops vouchers and tickets from falling out during transit.
Do you make larger folders for group leaders?
Yes. Group leaders often need room for rooming lists and contracts, and a 9 x 12 in pocket folder handles that. Our custom pocket folders list the full options.
Can we print a different destination on each batch?
Yes. One wallet layout can run with several cover designs in the same order. Your quote confirms quantity, turnaround and delivery for each version.
Can the wallet hold a hotel key card or transit pass?
Yes. A slit on the inside pocket holds a hotel key, rail pass or museum card. Tell us the card size and we place the slit where it stays secure.
