Design guidelines
To make artwork setup simple, download the relevant template from the Production templates section above. Follow the instructions provided and remember to remove the 'Guide' layer before exporting your artwork as a PDF.
For the best printing results, ensure your artwork and images are in CMYK. If you use RGB, Pantone or spot colours, these will be converted to CMYK during production, which may affect how your colours appear in print.
To avoid font issues, make sure all fonts are embedded or converted to outlines before exporting your PDF. For readability, we recommend using a minimum font size of 10pt.
For the best print quality, aim for images between 300dpi and 450dpi at their final print size. Lower resolutions may appear blurry or pixelated, while higher resolutions can increase file sizes. Check product template for any specific requirements.
To avoid alignment issues during cutting, include crop marks with a 10mm offset and document bleed when exporting your artwork as a PDF. Refer to the relevant product template for the required bleed specifications, as these vary by product.
All artwork must be supplied as a print ready PDF. We recommend exporting in Adobe PDF (Print) format, ideally using the PDF/X 1a:2001 standard.

Designing with Canva
We offer free Canva templates for many of our products, complete with the correct dimensions, bleed and safe zones. Where available, you'll find the Canva template in the Production templates section above, ready to open and personalise.

Canva uses RGB colour mode by default, which is designed for screens rather than print. For the best printing results, make sure you select CMYK when exporting your artwork. Converting from RGB to CMYK can cause slight colour shifts, so always check your exported PDF carefully before uploading to avoid unexpected results.
Need help with colours? Read our Canva colour guide.
Use fonts of at least 10pt to maintain legibility and keep important text within the safe zone. Use images at 300dpi or higher at their final size to avoid blurry or pixelated results.
Need help with image quality? Read our artwork resolution guide or watch our YouTube tutorial on how to export Canva designs for print.
Extend backgrounds, colours and images into the bleed area to avoid unwanted white edges after trimming. Keep important text, logos and design elements within the safe zone, and follow the bleed requirements for your chosen product.
Need help setting up bleed? Read our Canva bleed setup guide.
When exporting your finished design from Canva, select PDF Print and enable 'Crop Marks and Bleed'. This ensures your artwork includes the necessary bleed for printing. Remember to remove any template guides before downloading your file.

Leaflet Folding Types Explained
Not sure which leaflet fold is right for your design? Watch our Leaflet Folding Types Explained video guide to explore different fold styles and learn how to choose the best format for your content.
A concertina fold leaflet, also known as an accordion fold, zigzag fold or a z fold leaflet, is a printed document that is folded in a series of alternating folds, creating multiple panels that unfold like an accordion. This format allows for a larger display area and can accommodate more information than a half fold leaflet. Concertina fold leaflets are often used for menus, brochures, maps, and promotional materials.
A concertina leaflet, also known as an accordion fold, features panels that fold back and forth in a zigzag pattern, creating a document that unfolds like an accordion. A roll fold has overlapping panels that roll inward, forming a compact, scroll-like leaflet. The concertina fold offers a segmented, expandable format, while the roll fold provides a smooth, continuous flow of information.
Silk: This paper provides a smooth, slightly shiny surface that enhances vibrancy while minimising glare.
Gloss: This paper has a reflective, shiny finish that enhances colour vibrancy and makes images stand out.
Uncoated: This paper offers a natural, matt texture that absorbs ink for a softer print look.
Material paperweights of 170gsm and below will be crash folded instead of creased. For designs that span multiple panels, we recommend using paperweights of 200gsm or higher to avoid cracking and laminating silk material to enhance durability and reduce marking.
Spot UV: This finish adds a glossy, raised coating to specific areas, creating a striking contrast and highlighting key elements. Applied with Scodix technology.
Gold / silver foil: This finish provides a metallic sheen to select areas, giving your design a luxurious and distinctive appearance. Applied with Scodix technology.
Leaflets are generally exempt from VAT. However, VAT may apply if the leaflet is designed to be written on, such as a voucher or form, or if it's used for promotional purposes like offering discounted admission to an event.
Colour matching is not available on standard online orders. If your print requires a specific colour match, please submit a bespoke quote request, and our team will review your requirements.
The turnaround time for accordion fold leaflet printing depends on your chosen product specification and finishing options. For faster delivery, we offer express production upgrades at an additional cost (Quantity limits apply). To ensure your order is delivered on time, it is important we receive your artwork by the cut-off time indicated on both the product page and basket.
Please note: If your file is submitted after the cut-off time or if corrected artwork isn't provided before the next cut-off time following rejection, it will delay delivery by one working day.
