Concertina Fold Flyers & Leaflets for Eight-Page Presentations
Present your content in clear sections with personalised Concertina Fold Flyers & Leaflets from Marler Haley. Each fold runs in the opposite direction to the previous one, creating a zigzag leaflet that opens into a long spread.
Use the panels individually to explain your offering, or bring them together for a continuous design such as a timeline, illustrated process or panoramic image.
Four Panels on Each Side
This concertina format creates four panels on each side of the sheet, providing eight page surfaces in total. With double-sided printing, all eight surfaces can carry your artwork.
Plan a clear cover, organise supporting details across the remaining panels and make your contact information easy to find. Readers can explore the content section by section or open the leaflet out for a wider view.
A Continuous Spread for Connected Ideas
The extended layout works well for information that follows a sequence. Show the stages of a service, explain a product process or present milestones along a timeline.
You can also dedicate each panel to a separate product or topic. Use consistent headings, colours and spacing to connect the sections while keeping them easy to read.
Choose Your Size and Paper Stock
Select from the available sizes and paper weights to create the appearance and feel you want. Paper options include silk, gloss, bond and brown kraft, depending on your chosen specification.
Check both the unfolded sheet dimensions and the finished folded size before designing. Consider how much content you need to include and how the leaflet will be distributed or displayed.
Useful for Exhibitions and Sales Meetings
Give prospects a structured overview of your products or services after a conversation or demonstration. The concertina layout lets your team open the leaflet to a relevant section during the discussion, then hand it over for later reference.
Coordinate the artwork with your roller banners, printed tablecloths and exhibition displays to maintain a consistent brand appearance. If you’re using a leaflet holder, check that it accommodates the finished folded size.
Plan Your Content Around the Folds
Give each panel a clear purpose and consider how the information reads when the leaflet is partly opened. Keep essential text within individual panels, leaving continuous images or decorative elements to connect the spread.
Use the cover to introduce the main message and include a straightforward next step, such as visiting your website or contacting your team.
Preparing Your Concertina Fold Artwork
Use the relevant concertina-fold template for your selected specification. Follow its panel dimensions, fold positions, bleed and safe-area guidance, keeping important text and logos clear of trim edges and creases.
Check the arrangement of both sides so the cover and supporting content appear in the intended sequence. Review any design that spans multiple panels both as a complete spread and as individual sections.
Print a paper mock-up and fold it in the alternating sequence before submitting your files. Check the reading order, spelling, contact details and any QR codes.
Choose your options and personalise your concertina fold flyers and leaflets for your next event or campaign.
