The folded leaflet, the most versatile presentation tool
The folded leaflet packs a lot of information into a format that is easy to hand out and keep: a restaurant menu, a product range, an event programme, a company presentation, a mailshot.
7 fold types structure the reading: single fold (4 pages), roll fold (up to 10 pages, progressive reading), accordion / Z fold (up to 12 pages, ideal for comparisons and menus standing on a table), gate fold open or closed (premium content), cross fold (cards and maps), combined fold (12 pages) — or delivered flat with pre-creasing from 160 gsm so you can fold it yourself without breaking the fibre. Trade tip: up to 135 gsm for cross or combined folds (cleaner folding), ≥ 170 gsm + finishing for a robust leaflet.

Roll fold: progressive reading, the great classic of the 3-panel leaflet. Accordion (Z fold): comparisons, menus — it stands upright on a table. Gate fold open/closed: a premium effect for a high-value offer. Cross fold: cards, maps and large-format infographics. Combined fold: up to 12 pages. Single fold: the most economical, perfect for a greetings card.

Up to 135 gsm for cross and combined folds (cleaner folding). 170 gsm and above, with finishing, for a robust, high-end leaflet. Flat (plano), pre-creasing is included from 160 gsm to stop the paper cracking at the fold.
How do I arrange the page order in my file?+
