Z Folded Leaflet Printing

The Z-fold leaflet design is ideal for organising content in a clear, logical, and easy-to-navigate format. Each panel unfolds sequentially, effectively guiding the reader through information step-by-step, making it an excellent choice for businesses aiming to present information in a structured, digestible way. This progressive layout is particularly well-suited to brands or organisations that want to deliver a series of related points, tell a cohesive story, or provide step-by-step instructions in a visually engaging manner without overwhelming the reader.

Despite their compact size, Z-folded leaflets offer ample space for content. With six distinct panels (three on each side), there’s plenty of room to showcase detailed information, images, charts, or infographics, helping businesses to convey complex messages in a more digestible format. This format is ideal for a variety of applications, including product guides that detail the features and benefits of different offerings, service brochures that outline a company’s range of services, event schedules that allow attendees to plan their day, and informational pamphlets packed with essential details.

Z-folded leaflets are incredibly versatile and can be tailored to suit a wide array of purposes across different industries. They are commonly used for marketing brochures, travel guides, maps, restaurant menus, and company newsletters. The multi-panel structure allows for a high level of creativity and flexibility in design, giving businesses the opportunity to highlight different products, services, or messages on each panel. This flexibility encourages customer engagement, as readers are invited to explore each panel’s content in a flowing, continuous manner, which can enhance brand recall and reinforce key messages.

Moreover, the practical folding style of Z-fold leaflets makes them easy to distribute, whether by hand at events and trade shows, as an insert in direct mail campaigns, or displayed on countertops and brochure racks. Their compact size means they are convenient for recipients to carry or store, which increases the likelihood that they’ll be kept for future reference, further amplifying the impact of your marketing efforts.

A Z-fold leaflet, with its structured layout and room for creative expression, is a cost-effective and impactful choice for brands looking to convey a series of related messages or detailed information in a professional, organised manner. By choosing a Z-fold design, businesses can engage their audience with a well-organised, visually appealing leaflet that not only captures attention but also clearly communicates their key points, building a lasting impression.

How To Design Unlaminated Folded Leaflets

  • Artwork templates are available for download to assist with setting up your files. These include the panel widths required, too.
  • Before submitting folded leaflet artwork, we recommend you print a mock up to check the artwork is positioned correctly.
  • 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, as shown in this illustration
  • When creating artwork with a landscape fold, please submit the front and back pages on the same page, with the front page orientation correct and the back page rotated 180°. The inside pages should be on page 2 and rotated 180° so that the orientation is correct on the final print. You can check the orientation is correct by printing a mock up before submitting your artwork.
  • Please note for artwork that includes coloured backgrounds, or coloured elements which overlap the fold lines, we would recommend ordering our laminated leaflets to protect the ink and paper from cracking and provide a smooth fold.

Our Folding Guide will help you choose the right fold for your project.
