Folded leaflet FAQs
A “folded leaflet” refers to a printed sheet that is folded to create multiple panels/pages. This allows you to convey more information than a standard flat flyer while remaining compact and easy to hand out or distribute.
Folded leaflets can be printed on various stocks depending on the finish and feel you want:
Uncoated papers (lightweight or standard finishes)
Gloss or Silk papers for a more polished, professional look.
Paper weights/ranges vary — lighter stocks are best for simple leaflets, heavier stocks are best for a sturdier feel or a more premium finish.
Upload one file. When creating any leaflet, please supply your artwork as a 2 page, double sided PDF. For example, on an A4 folded to A5, page 1 should display pages 4 & 1 of the leaflet and page 2 should display pages 2 & 3
No, it is not hard. When we talk about lamination on printed leaflets, we’re referring to a very thin film that is applied to the surface of the paper after printing. It’s bonded with heat and pressure, creating a protective coating.
Yes we do, and no, it doesn't cost more. Your best bet is to place the orders separately. If you have the same design, it is easy enough to add 6 lots of 500 leaflets to your basket and check out. You can specify a different address for each line item at the checkout. No extra costs incurred.
Folded leaflets are versatile. Common applications include:
Product or service brochures
Simple menus (restaurant, drinks)
Price lists or price guides
Informational guides (e.g. maps, event programmes, instruction guides)
Direct mail campaigns or distribution materials
Any scenario where you need more space than a flat flyer, but don’t want a full booklet or bound document.
A flyer tends to be a simple, unfolded flat sheet (single or double-sided)
A leaflet, by contrast, is folded, offering more space via multiple panels.
A booklet generally implies multiple bound pages when you have a lot of content. We offer stapled, perfect bound, wiro-bound, or hardback binding. Leaflets are simpler and lighter.
As an example price point, 1000 leaflets cost around 0.06p per unit. Cost depends on quantity, paper stock, finish, and whether you want leaflets supplied flat or folded.
Common fold types include:
Half-Fold — folds once, creating four panels/pages (front, back, two inside pages).
Z-Fold — folds into a “Z” shape, creating three panels.
Cross-Fold — vertical + horizontal fold, creating four panels.
Roll-Fold — multiple panels rolled over each other, ideal for longer content.
Double Parallel Fold — folded in half and then in half again in same direction (suitable for many-page leaflets).
Gate-Fold — outer panels open like gates to reveal inside content, often used for invitations, price lists, or menus.
W-Fold — folds in a "W" shape, allowing for multiple panels/pages in a compact format.
“Folded leaflets” are typically delivered pre-folded (i.e. ready to hand out). There is a different product called “creased leaflets” which are supplied flat (pre-creased for folding).
Yes, our folded leaflets are pre-folded and ready to use.
You should choose an uncoated option as these can be written upon.
Supply a double-sided PDF layout. For example, on one page you might place page 4 & page 1, and on the other page is page 2 & page 3 (depending on your fold and final size).
If using complex folds (e.g. Z-Fold, Gate-Fold), template guides are often provided. These mark panel sizes and fold lines, and show which panels map to the front, back, and inside.

This can be a minefield but folded leaflets printed on certain lighter paper stocks (e.g. 90 gsm, 120 gsm, 130 gsm or 170 gsm), sized between A4 and A6 (or A7) and under 300 gsm are VAT-exempt. You will see any VAT charges on the pricing grid by using the toggle at the top of the page to check.
