Overview
The short answer, then the detail.
Leaflet printing at InstantBanners covers folded leaflets delivered ready to hand out. You pick the flat size, from A5 landscape to A3 landscape, then a fold, from a 4-page half fold to a 16-page combined fold. Papers run from 120gsm uncoated to 250gsm gloss or silk, from 50 to 10,000 copies.
Leaflet printing with folding lets you fit more on a single sheet: services, menus, price lists, event programmes and guides. Restaurants, clinics, schools and charities use folded leaflets for racks and mailings.
Leaflet printing: sizes and materials
First choose the flat, unfolded size: A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm), 296 × 148 mm, A4 portrait (210 × 297 mm), A4 landscape (297 × 210 mm), 420 × 210 mm or A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm). Then choose a fold; each option shows the page count and folded size. A half fold folds once. A roll fold is a tri-fold with the panels folding inside each other. A Z fold is a concertina, a gate fold brings two outer panels to the middle, and a cross fold folds in half twice. For A5 leaflet printing, pick A4 with a half fold: 4 pages that fold to 148 × 210 mm.
Papers are 130gsm, 170gsm or 250gsm gloss or silk, or 120gsm uncoated. Print the front only or both sides.
Quantities. Order from 50 to 10,000 folded leaflets. The price each falls as the quantity rises; the table next to the price shows the price each for every quantity.

Frequently asked questions
About folded leaflets.
How quickly will my order be ready?
Saver from 7 working days, Standard from 5 working days or Express from 3 working days to dispatch after your file check. UK mainland delivery is £7.95, free on orders of £99 and over; Scottish Highlands +£10; islands and Northern Ireland are quoted.
How should I set up artwork for a folded leaflet?
Supply a print-ready PDF of the flat sheet with 3 mm bleed and the panels in the right order for the fold you chose. We check your file matches the fold you chose before printing.
Do you check my file?
Yes. We check resolution, size and bleed, and check your file matches the fold you chose. If you choose paid typesetting, design or logo redraw, that service includes a proof and 2 rounds of changes.
What is the difference between a roll fold and a Z fold?
Both make 6 pages from one sheet. In a roll fold, or tri-fold, the panels fold inside each other. In a Z fold the panels fold back and forth like a concertina.
How do I get an A5 folded leaflet?
Choose A4 as the flat size with a half fold. That gives a 4-page leaflet that folds to 148 × 210 mm, which is A5.
How do I get a DL tri-fold leaflet?
Choose A4 landscape (297 × 210 mm) with the roll fold that folds to 100 × 210 mm. That gives 6 pages at close to DL size.
Which paper weight folds well?
130gsm and 170gsm fold easily and suit leaflets with several panels. 250gsm feels more solid in the hand. 120gsm uncoated takes pen and pencil.
How many pages can a leaflet have?
Folds give 4, 6, 8, 12 or 16 pages, depending on the flat size and fold. The largest is a half fold plus double parallel fold, 16 pages, folding to 105 × 148 mm.

Questions
Buyer questions about this product, answered. Can't see yours? Ask below and our team will reply.
Which sizes can I order Folded Leaflets in?
Folded Leaflets come in 3 listed sizes, from A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm) at £31.08 up to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at £32.51. In between: 420 × 210 mm. Prices are the lowest option for each size.
Which paper weight should I choose for these flyers?
The options are 130gsm gloss, 130gsm silk, 170gsm gloss, 170gsm silk, 250gsm gloss, 250gsm silk and 120gsm uncoated. 130gsm is light and economical for door drops and handouts in bulk. 170gsm feels more solid and suits leaflets people keep. 250gsm and above feels like thin card, good for menus, price lists and flyers that sit on a counter.
I do not have artwork. Can you design it for me?
The Artwork choice on this page offers: "I will upload print-ready artwork" (free), "Add my text and logo to a clean layout (typesetting)" (£15), "Design it for me from my brief" (£35), "Redraw or vectorise my logo from a low-res file" (£50) and "Design a new logo for me" (£100). Design fees are fixed, show as their own line in the basket and cover the whole quantity of that item. Typesetting includes 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes; design from your brief includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. You can also design it yourself in the online designer at no charge.
Can I design these flyers online?
Yes. Open the designer from this page, pick a starting layout, add your logo, text and photos, and move things around on the canvas. Checks run as you work: sample text left in, text that is too small, items outside the safe area and low resolution images are flagged before you can approve. You approve exactly what you see, then add it to the basket. Designing and previewing is free; the on-screen preview carries a small watermark that is never printed. For Folded Leaflets, set your file up at the size you order, for example A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm).
How much do Folded Leaflets cost?
Folded Leaflets start from £31.08 with flat size A5 landscape · 210 × 148 mm, Fold Roll fold, 6 pages, folds to 75 × 148 mm and paper 130gsm gloss on the Saver turnaround. The price in the calculator changes live as you pick the size, material, finishing, quantity and turnaround, so you see the final price before you add to basket. No VAT is added because we are not VAT registered. Delivery is added at checkout: UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it).
How long do Folded Leaflets take to make?
On the option the calculator opens on, Saver is ready to dispatch in 7 working days, Standard in 5 and Express in 3. These are working days to dispatch, counted from when your order and artwork are confirmed, and other sizes or materials can take a day more or less: the calculator shows the exact days next to each turnaround. Courier delivery usually takes 1 to 3 working days after dispatch, and we email the tracking details when the parcel leaves us. Folded Leaflets start at £31.08 before delivery.
Do you charge for delivery?
UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it), so one flyer at £31.08 on its own pays £7.95, and the charge disappears once your basket reaches £99. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes add £10 once per order. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order.
What does the flat size option mean on Folded Leaflets?
You can choose A5 landscape · 210 × 148 mm, 296 × 148 mm, A4 · 210 × 297 mm, A4 landscape · 297 × 210 mm, 420 × 210 mm or A3 landscape · 420 × 297 mm. This is the size of the sheet before it is folded. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket.
Which printed should I choose for these flyers?
You can choose front only or both sides. This decides which faces carry print. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Folded Leaflets are printed on 130gsm gloss, 130gsm silk, 170gsm gloss, 170gsm silk, 250gsm gloss, 250gsm silk and 120gsm uncoated.
What resolution does my artwork need for these flyers?
For items read close up, aim for 300 dpi at the finished size. At 300 dpi an A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) design needs about 4,961 × 3,508 pixels. Logos and text are best as vector artwork, which stays sharp at any size. Photos taken from websites or social media are usually far too small; our file check flags images that may print soft.
Can I order now and send my artwork later?
Yes. You can upload your file on the product page, or place the order and upload later: we email you after you order. Your designer can send the file to us by email or WhatsApp with your order number, so it does not have to come through you. The turnaround clock starts once your order and artwork are confirmed, so send the file early if you have a deadline. Folded Leaflets come in 3 listed sizes, from A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm) to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
What file should I upload?
A PDF at the finished size is best, with fonts embedded or converted to outlines. We also take AI, EPS and SVG, and high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF files. Word, PowerPoint and Canva files are fine as a starting point, but export a full-quality PDF if you can. You can upload up to 3 files of 25 MB each on the product page, or upload later: we email you after you order. Folded Leaflets can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.
What happens if my file is not good enough to print?
Our file check catches the usual problems: the wrong size, no bleed, low resolution images and text too close to the edge. We tell you what needs fixing before anything is printed, and you can send a new file. If you would rather we sort it, the typesetting option (£15, 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes) sets your text and logo on a clean layout. Folded Leaflets can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.
Do I get the print file of my design?
Yes. When you order printing with a design made in our online designer, the high resolution PDF is attached to your order, and once the order is paid you can download it from My Account and your confirmation email. If you only want the file and no printing, approve the design and buy the print-ready PDF for £9.99. It is digital content, so the right to cancel ends once the download starts. For Folded Leaflets, set your file up at the size you order, for example A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm).
How much is an A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) flyer?
A A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) flyer starts at £32.51 for 50 on the lowest priced options and Saver turnaround. Pick that size in the calculator to see the price with your own material, finishing and turnaround. UK mainland delivery is £7.95, free once your basket reaches £99.
Will the price change at checkout?
Only delivery is added. The goods price you see in the calculator is final, with no VAT added. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it). Any artwork or design fee you choose shows as its own line in the basket, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Folded Leaflets come in 3 listed sizes, from A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm) to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
What is the smallest order for Folded Leaflets?
The smallest quantity in the options is 50, then 100, 250, 500 and 1000. The price shown is the total for that quantity, so compare the price each at two or three quantities before you choose. Ask for a quote for anything the options do not list. Folded Leaflets come in 3 listed sizes, from A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm) to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
Can I order more than one of these flyers?
The quantity is part of the options: from 50 up to 10000 (50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000 and 10000). The price shown is the total for the quantity you pick, so divide by the quantity to compare the price each before you order. For a bigger run than the options list, ask for a quote with the size, quantity and deadline. Folded Leaflets start at £31.08 before delivery.
How many flyers should I order?
Order what you will use before the details change: phone numbers, offers and prices go out of date. Quantities run from 50 to 10,000, so compare two or three quantities in the calculator to see the price each. For a campaign, a smaller first run lets you test the design before a bigger order. Folded Leaflets come in 3 listed sizes, from A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm) to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
Do you deliver Folded Leaflets to the Scottish Highlands?
Yes, with a difference in price. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes, for example around Inverness, Fort William, Oban and Thurso, pay the mainland rate plus £10 once per order, even when the order qualifies for free delivery. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order: use Get a quote or call 0161 315 1151.

Can I pay for express production on Folded Leaflets?
Yes. Express makes these flyers ready to dispatch in 3 working days on the opening option, priced at £35.99 against £31.08 on Saver (7 days). To plan back from a date, add 1 to 3 working days for the courier after dispatch and allow for artwork: production starts once your order and artwork are confirmed. If the date is very tight, call 0161 315 1151 before you order.

I am one of the air conditioning and refrigeration engineers. Would I use these flyers?

Other items in the same range include Car Door Magnetic Signs, Magnetic Van Signs, Business Cards and NCR Invoice Books.

Other items in the same range include Custom Vinyl Stickers, Car Door Magnetic Signs, Business Cards and NCR Invoice Books.

Folded Leaflets are part of our Air Con & Refrigeration, Gas Engineers, Mechanics & Garages and Plumbers & Heating Engineers ranges.
Will colours look different on uncoated or textured stock?
Yes, a little. Uncoated, textured and recycled papers absorb more ink, so colours look softer and less glossy than on silk or gloss stock. That natural look is often why people choose them. If exact brand colours matter most, a silk or coated stock gives the closest match. Folded Leaflets are printed on 130gsm gloss, 130gsm silk, 170gsm gloss, 170gsm silk, 250gsm gloss, 250gsm silk and 120gsm uncoated.
Will my brand colours print exactly?
Supply CMYK where you can. RGB files are converted to CMYK for print, which can make very bright greens, blues and oranges look slightly duller. If you need a brand colour matched, give us the Pantone reference and we match it as closely as the material allows. Small differences between a screen and the printed item are normal, because screens give off light and print reflects it. Folded Leaflets can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.
What does the designer check before I approve?
It looks for sample text you have not replaced, text below the smallest size that prints clearly, anything too close to the edge or outside the safe area, logos or photos too low in resolution for the size, and items overlapping text. Blocking problems must be fixed before you can approve; warnings you can accept if you are happy. The checks do not read your spelling, so check names, numbers and dates yourself. For Folded Leaflets, set your file up at the size you order, for example A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm).
How do I pay?
By debit or credit card at checkout. Payments are processed securely by Stripe, and we never see or store your full card number. Your order goes into production once payment is taken and your order and artwork are confirmed. For a large or unusual order you can ask for a quote first. Folded Leaflets are made to order by our UK production partner.
Do I need an account to order?
No. You can check out as a guest and pay by debit or credit card, processed securely by Stripe. Creating an account at checkout lets you see past orders in My Account and download the print files of designs you made online. Either way you get an order confirmation email and a tracking email when your order is dispatched. Folded Leaflets are made to order by our UK production partner.
Can I change my artwork after ordering?
Contact us straight away on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp with your order number. If production has not started we can take a corrected file, or cancel the order and refund you in full. Once production starts the order cannot be changed. Printing that matches the design you approved or the file you supplied is not a fault, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates carefully before you order. Folded Leaflets start at £31.08 before delivery.
Can I get a VAT invoice?
No. We are not VAT registered, so we do not charge VAT and cannot issue a VAT invoice. You get an order confirmation email with the items, options and total paid, which works as your receipt. Because no VAT is added, the price you see in the calculator is the price you pay for the goods, with delivery shown at checkout. Folded Leaflets come in 3 listed sizes, from A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm) to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
Can I get a quote for a large order or an unusual size of Folded Leaflets?
Yes. Use the Get a quote page and tell us the size, quantity, material, deadline and delivery postcode, and attach any artwork you have. We reply by email or WhatsApp with a price. A quote is also the way to go for delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. Folded Leaflets come in 3 listed sizes, from A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm) to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
Can someone help me choose the right options for these flyers?
Yes. Call us on 0161 315 1151 or message us on WhatsApp and tell us where the flyer will go, how long it needs to last and your deadline. You can also ask a question on this page; our team answers and the question may be published to help other buyers. For a price on something the calculator does not cover, use Get a quote. Folded Leaflets come in 3 listed sizes, from A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm) to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
Where are Folded Leaflets made?
Folded Leaflets are made to order by our UK production partner. Either way, InstantBanners takes the order, checks your file and deals with you from start to finish, and the item is delivered to you by courier. You can reach our Manchester team on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp if you have a question before or after you order.
Can I order several different designs in one order?
Yes. Add each design to the basket as its own line with its own file or online design, then check out once. Delivery is charged once per order, and becomes free when the goods total reaches £99. If several lines use the same artwork, choose "Same artwork as another item in my basket" so you only pay one design fee. Folded Leaflets are made to order by our UK production partner.
Can these flyers be recycled?
Unlaminated paper and card go in normal paper recycling. Laminated items, foils and plastic cards are harder to recycle, so check your local council's rules. We also offer recycled options. Folded Leaflets are printed on 130gsm gloss, 130gsm silk, 170gsm gloss, 170gsm silk, 250gsm gloss, 250gsm silk and 120gsm uncoated.
How should I store these flyers?
Keep printed paper and card flat, in the box it came in, somewhere dry and away from direct sun and heat. Damp makes paper curl and can stop it feeding through printers; sun fades colours over time. Take out only what you need so the rest stays clean. Folded Leaflets are printed on 130gsm gloss, 130gsm silk, 170gsm gloss, 170gsm silk, 250gsm gloss, 250gsm silk and 120gsm uncoated.
What should a tradesperson put on these flyers?
Your business name and logo, what you do in a few words, your phone number, email and website, and the area you cover. Add your registration number as text if your work needs one. Keep it uncluttered: fewer, larger words read better than a long list of services. Folded Leaflets are part of our Air Con & Refrigeration, Gas Engineers, Mechanics & Garages and Plumbers & Heating Engineers ranges.
