Leaflet Printing

Folded Leaflets. Affordable, High Quality and Versatile

Clever design and strategic folding can transform a leaflet into a powerful communication tool. Folds aren’t just functional—they guide the eye, break up content, and build anticipation. Whether you’re creating a mini-brochure, tourist guide, a map or a product menu, folded leaflets are incredibly versatile.

Printing 283 million B2 sheets a year, our extensive litho and digital leaflet printing capability makes us a go to leaflet printing partner for trade print professionals and direct customers alike, who appreciate our straightforward and reliable service.

Popular Folding Formats

While the most frequently requested styles (such as half-fold to A5, tri-fold to DL, and Z-fold to DL) fit neatly into leaflet dispensers and standard envelopes, our bespoke service goes beyond the basics. At Bishops Printers, we deliver precise, crisp folds to order.

For special events, product launches and premium brands you can choose from a wide range of paper stocks and weights. If economy is your priority, then our house coated and uncoated paper stocks have a repuation for whiteness and opactity giving you high quality results regardless of the size of your order.

Types of Folded Leaflet

• Half Fold Leaflets
  A single fold down the middle creates four printed pages, ideal for simple, elegant designs.
• Gate Fold Leaflets
  Two folds create side panels that open like doors, revealing a central image or message. Perfect for playful or impactful marketing.
• Cross Fold Leaflets
  A simple horizontal fold in half, then folded again to create a vertical fold. It creates a cross pattern and is often used for maps, hence the nickname "Map Fold."
• Roll Fold Leaflets
  Vertical parallel folds create panels that are folded inwards towards the centre. This is a popular folding style for tri-fold leaflets (where two folds divide the sheet into three equal panels to create six printed pages).
• Z Fold Leaflets
  As the name suggests, the sheet is folded twice with parallel folds to create 6 printed pages that open in a ‘z’ shape. If you increase the number of folds beyond 3, your Z folded leaflet becomes a concertina fold or accordion fold. .
• Bespoke Folded Leaflets
  Folded leaflets can be fun as well as functional. For product launches, special occasions or simply to stand out, bespoke folded leaflets can be really impactful. Stepped Accordion, Square Folded Cross, Circular Accordion, Twist Fold, Tulip Fold - there are lots of variations you and your designer can explore. Keep in mind bespoke folds may require extra production time and cost due to custom formes and hand finishing.
