Instappraise Adds Trifold Brochure to Appraisal Offerings
Retailers can customize and print the appraisal brochures from their store.
The trifold brochure includes a detailed item description, diamond and gemstone grading scales, diamond plots, and up to four high-resolution images, said the company. There is also a format for timepiece appraisals.
New York—Instappraise, the cloud-based jewelry appraisal software and management platform, has launched its new trifold brochure, giving small businesses access to customizable appraisal reports.
The brochure can be used for appraisals of jewelry and watches for retail sales, personal ownership, and insurance assessments.
The layout combines functionality and design for appraisal reports with a compact footprint, said the business.
Business owners can customize the trifold brochure to match their individual preferences while maintaining the essential informational elements.
“Our trifold brochure isn’t just a leap forward in accessibility—it’s a testament to our commitment to quality, innovation, and technology,” said Raphael Boivin, the founder of Instappraise.
“By harnessing the power of digital, we’re making comprehensive appraisal resources accessible to everyone, regardless of their size or resource.”
Through the platform, users can print the brochure from their home or office on paper of any thickness, consistency, stock, weight, or finish, as long as the machine supports double-sided printing.

For fine jewelry assessments, the trifold format includes a detailed description of the item, diamond and gemstone grading scales, diamond plots, tools or instruments used during the appraisal process, and up to four high-resolution images.
The timepiece format shows model specifications, properties, caliber, movements, tools, or instruments used in the appraisal process, high-resolution images of the watch from various angles, and a corresponding retail replacement or fair market value.
Along with this information, the brochure will feature the user’s branding and customer contact information.
Instappraise said it chose a detailed and compact trifold design for easier transportation and convenience.
“It is designed to seamlessly fit into a plastic sleeve, a common feature provided with original GIA grading reports,” said Boivin.
“This compatibility ensures convenient storage and protection of valuable appraisal information alongside other essential documents.”
