Folding Types Explained

At SM1 Print Studio, we proudly offer the classic folds or if you require a custom fold, like an off-centre fold, our bespoke team can help.

1. Half Fold (Single Fold): one straight fold right down the middle. It's perfect for information Leaflets, Menus, and Orders of Service.
2. Roll Fold (Also known as a C Fold):  This fold type will give you three panels on each side, and when the fold is complete, the end panel on the right tucks. This fold is an excellent choice for Menus, Letterheads, Tourist Information Leaflets, and business correspondence.
3. Z Fold: This fold takes the shape of a 'Z.' All panels share the same width, making it ideal for dividing sections of information. Imagine using it for product or service information leaflets.
4. Concertina Fold: Just like a Z Fold all panels share the same width.
5. Gate Fold (Window Fold): With three panels both on the front and back, this fold is double the size when fully opened (like a gate). It's perfect for eye-catching direct marketing campaigns or magazine inserts.
6. Cross Fold: This fold is commonly used with Posters or Festival Leaflets. It allows a vast amount of information to be elegantly folded into a pocket-friendly size. Simply fold the sheet in half, then in half again, and it creates four printed panels on the front and back.
7. Map Fold: This fold involves folding the sheet in half, followed by a Concertina or Roll fold. And as you might expect, it's absolutely fantastic for maps!

What are Leaflets generally used for?

Leaflets provide a highly effective way to reach your audience and deliver your message. Whether you're distributing them in the streets, using them as menus, or leaving them on a reception desk for customers to grab, printed leaflets are a versatile marketing medium that gets the job done!

What is the difference between a Flyer and a Leaflet?

Flyers are fantastic single, flat sheets designed for advertising and distribution. On the other hand, Leaflets are informative paper documents that are strategically folded to present information in an engaging way. Both are incredibly effective, depending on your needs!

You offer lots of different folding options, which one is your most popular?

At SM1 Print Studio, we offer an exciting array of sizes and folding options, all explained in the Technical Specifications above. Our most popular leaflet is the fabulous 6-page DL!

At what paper weight do you apply creasing?

We want your prints to look flawless, so we apply creasing to paperweights of 170gsm and above. For artwork with full bleed, we highly recommend using paperweights of 200gsm and above to ensure no cracking occurs.

Can I get an off-centre or custom fold?

Absolutely! Simply send an enquiry to our amazing bespoke team, and they'll be more than happy to assist you.

Can I order a print on just one side?

Yes, you can! It's as simple as selecting "single-sided" from the dropdown menu on the product page. Just remember to provide us with a single-page PDF, and we'll work our magic. We've got your back!

Do you offer Landscape folds?

If you're looking for a landscape fold to add that extra wow factor, we've got you covered! Just reach out to our extraordinary team.

On a single-sided order, is the print facing in or out?

On a single-sided order, we'll print and fold with the print facing outwards, just like a sheet of wrapping paper. However, if you prefer the print facing inwards, no worries! Simply contact our amazing bespoke team, and they'll be delighted to accommodate your request. Your satisfaction is our top priority!
