What type of fold should I choose for my leaflet printing?
The purpose of your leaflet will help determine the best fold type. It also depends on the leaflet size you choose. Here are some common fold options:
Half Fold
A simple fold down the center, similar to a greeting card.
Z-Fold
This fold creates a ‘Z’ shape, ideal for brochures.
C-Fold
This creates a ‘C’ shape, perfect for promotional materials.
Roll Fold
Each section folds onto the next, creating multiple panels, often used for detailed information.
Cross Fold
Folded in half both ways, great for maps or guides.

What are some tips for designing a folded leaflet?
Designing folded leaflets can be tricky due to the folds, but here are some tips:
Visualize the Folds: Understand where each section will appear once folded. This helps in organizing content logically.
Avoid the Crease: Keep important text away from the folds to ensure it remains readable even after repeated folding.
Guide the Reader: Don’t overcrowd the leaflet. Use white space to make it easier for readers to follow the content across different panels.
Where should I distribute my leaflets?
Once your leaflets are printed, it’s crucial to distribute them effectively. For local businesses, placing them in nearby cafes, restaurants, or shops can increase visibility. If you’re targeting other businesses, consider distributing them at industry events, conferences, or networking sessions. Wherever you choose, our professionally printed leaflets are sure to leave a lasting impression.
How can I create a folded leaflet using simple tools?
You don’t need advanced design software to create a folded leaflet. You can easily design one using Microsoft Word or similar programs. We recommend saving your final design as a PDF to ensure everything stays in place when it goes to print. If you’re unsure, our team can review your design to make sure it’s print-ready.
