Double Parallel Folded Leaflets

Double-Parallel-Fold Leaflet Technical Specifications

Preparing Unlaminated Folded-Leaflet Artwork

• Use the downloadable artwork templates to prepare your files with the correct dimensions and required panel widths.
• Print a physical mock-up before submitting the artwork to ensure that all design elements are positioned correctly.
• Supply the complete leaflet design as a two-page, double-sided PDF. For example, an A4 leaflet folded to A5 should show leaflet pages 4 and 1 on PDF page 1, followed by leaflet pages 2 and 3 on PDF page 2. View our folded-leaflet artwork illustration for a visual example.
• For landscape-fold designs, position the front and back covers together on the same PDF page. Keep the front cover upright and rotate the back cover by 180 degrees.
• Place the inside panels on PDF page 2 and rotate them by 180 degrees so that they appear correctly after printing and folding.
• Check the orientation by printing a mock-up before submitting the final artwork.
• Laminated leaflets are recommended when coloured backgrounds or other coloured elements extend across the fold lines. Lamination helps prevent the ink and paper from cracking while producing a smoother fold.

View our folding guide to choose the most appropriate fold for your project.
