Order Summary
Half-Fold Leaflets from Cheap as Prints
Half-fold or Bi-fold leaflets offer a versatile and effective solution for creating informative and visually appealing content. These leaflets come in a variety of sizes, catering to different design preferences and practical requirements. One of the notable advantages of the half-fold format is its ability to transform a single sheet of paper into four pages, allowing for a comprehensive segmentation of content. This design structure makes it convenient to organize information into easily digestible segments that converge in the middle, offering a visually pleasing and user-friendly experience for readers.
In comparison to smaller six-column z-fold or tri-fold leaflets, the half-fold design provides four larger design panels. This extended space is particularly advantageous for designs that are content-heavy, as it allows for a balanced distribution of information without compromising the overall size of the leaflet. The flexibility of the half-fold format is evident in its available sizes, including A6, A5, A4, A4 slim, 148mm square, and 210mm square. This range ensures that designers have the freedom to choose the dimensions that best suit their content and presentation needs.
When it comes to material choices, various paper stocks are available to meet different aesthetic and functional preferences. Options for uncoated stock include 120gsm or 170gsm, providing a natural and textured feel to the leaflet. Gloss stock options, such as 130gsm or 170gsm, offer a shiny and vibrant finish that enhances colour reproduction. Additionally, silk stocks, ranging from 130gsm to 350gsm, provide a smooth and elegant surface for a professional touch.
For those seeking premium quality and durability, the 350gsm silk stock is an excellent choice, and is available with double sided lamination. The lamination process adds a protective layer, enhancing the leaflet’s resilience against wear and tear while providing a luxurious and sophisticated finish.
In conclusion, half-fold or Bi-fold leaflets are a valuable tool for designers and marketers aiming to deliver impactful and organised content. With their convenient folding style, ample design space, and a diverse range of sizes and material choices, these leaflets provide a flexible canvas for creating compelling visuals. Whether used for promotional materials, informational brochures, or event announcements, the half-fold format stands out as a practical and visually appealing choice in the realm of printed marketing collateral.

FAQ's
What is a half-fold leaflet?
A half-fold leaflet is a type of brochure or pamphlet that is folded in half, creating two equal panels. This results in a four-page document, with information printed on both the front and back of the paper.
What is the recommended file format for designing a half-fold leaflet?
PDF (Portable Document Format) is a widely accepted and recommended file format for designing leaflets. It ensures that your design remains intact, with fonts and images embedded.
What should be included in the design of a half-fold leaflet?
Your half-fold leaflet should include a compelling headline, engaging content, images, contact information, and a clear call-to-action. Ensure that the layout is visually appealing and easy to navigate.
Should I include bleed in my half-fold leaflet design?
Yes, including a bleed is recommended. A 3mm bleed ensures that the colour or images extend slightly beyond the trimmed edges, preventing any white borders after printing.
How can I ensure that the text is readable after folding?
Keep important text and vital information away from the fold line to ensure readability. Consider the natural flow of reading when placing text and graphics to guide the reader’s eye smoothly across the leaflet.
Why are half folded leaflets printed on thicker material crease folded?
When dealing with thicker materials during folding, the fibers on the flap’s edge may experience occasional cracking. To prevent this issue, folded leaflets printed on materials with a weight of 250gsm or higher, undergo crease-folding to facilitate a smoother folding process and prevent fiber damage.
What do you mean by crease fold?
When folding thicker paper like 250gsm, the fibers at the edge of the flap can sometimes crack. In order to prevent this, any paper stock that is 250gsm or thicker is crease folded. Creasing weakens the paper at the fold to make it easier to fold.
What is the difference between uncoated, gloss and silk paper?
Uncoated paper has no additional finish, providing a natural and matt appearance with excellent writability. Gloss paper is coated with a shiny finish, enhancing vibrancy and sharpness of images but making it less suitable for writing. Silk paper falls between the two, offering a semi-matt finish that combines image quality with moderate writability.

Artwork
Be sure to supply your design using the CMYK colour mode with a resolution of at least 300dpi. Additionally, embed fonts, outline text and extend bleed areas beyond the trim marks to prevent any important elements from being cut off during printing and trimming. To ensure artwork is supplied correctly to avoid delays, we recommend using our artwork templates.
Please Note: For most products, the CMYK colour mode is utilised, however, other printed materials such as carrier bags and branded writing instruments are printed using Pantone colours. Any artwork supplied in RGB will be converted in to CMYK or Pantone depending on the product. Please bear in mind this will result in a significant colour difference which we will make you aware of prior to print.
