Hi guys,

Can anyone help me find a store that sells paper (non plastic) portfolio folders like below? These are so common (and cheap) in the states, but I cannot seem to find them here! Do they exist? Every store I have been to in Korea (about 10 different ones) only has these weird plastic "holders".

I'm looking for something like this (business card holder is not mandatory):



Thanks guys - I thought this would be a 2 minute trip but I'm finding, yet again, Korea does things VERY different sometimes...

Have you tried Kinkos? They have various envelopes and other paper-type stationery goods.

I don't know for sure if they'll have them, but the big office supply store in COEX carries a lot of things I haven't been able to find elsewhere.

Of course they sell!

I bought mine online. If you can read Korean or can ask a Korean to help you, I will give you a link.

There's a big office supply store in the Gangnam Express Bus station shopping center that sells a lot of paper folders that I can't find anywhere else. Unfortunately, I get lost everytime I go into that mall, so can't give you much information about how to find it. It is kind-of near a big flower section; near a sauna.
