Map Fold Flyers & Leaflets for Maps, Guides and Fold-Out Designs
Give readers a larger view of your message with personalised Map Fold Flyers & Leaflets from Marler Haley. The sheet folds down into a convenient handout, then opens to reveal a generous area for graphics and information.
Use map fold printing for venue plans, visitor guides, event information or promotional designs that benefit from being viewed as a complete spread.
A Larger Sheet in a Compact Format
A map fold combines alternating folds with an additional fold across the sheet, reducing the finished piece to a manageable size. Readers can open it out to view the full design, then fold it away for later reference.
The number of panels and finished dimensions depend on your selected specification. Check the unfolded size, folded size and artwork template before preparing your design.
Useful for Venue Maps and Visitor Guides
Help visitors find their way around an exhibition, attraction or event. Use the open sheet for a clearly labelled map, with a legend, key locations and any essential visitor information.
The smaller sections can introduce the venue, explain facilities or provide contact details. Keep labels readable and use consistent symbols so the map is easy to follow.
Room for Charts and Promotional Graphics
The format also works well for illustrated guides, timelines and larger product diagrams. You can organise information into separate panels or create a continuous graphic across the unfolded sheet.
Plan where the folds fall within your artwork. Keep small text clear of creases and make sure important information remains easy to find when the leaflet is partly opened.
Choose Your Paper and Finishing Options
Select from the available sizes, paper stocks and weights to create the appearance and feel you want. Consider how often the leaflet will be opened and whether it is intended for broad distribution or use as a reference guide.
Choose folded finishing for leaflets that arrive folded, or select creased and supplied flat where available if you prefer to complete the folding yourself.
Support Your Exhibition and Event Materials
Give visitors useful information they can carry around the event and take away afterwards. A map fold leaflet can combine navigation with an introduction to your organisation, event programme or relevant services.
Match the branding to your roller banners, printed tablecloths and exhibition displays. If you plan to use a leaflet holder, check that it accommodates the finished folded size.
Preparing Your Map Fold Artwork
Use the map-fold template for your chosen specification. Follow its guidance for panel positions, fold directions, bleed and safe areas, keeping important text and logos clear of trim edges and creases.
Check the orientation of each section carefully so the cover and internal content appear correctly as the leaflet opens. For maps and diagrams, review the entire spread as well as the individual folded panels.
Print a paper mock-up and fold it in the intended sequence before submitting your files. Check the reading order, map labels, contact details and any QR codes.
Choose your options and personalise your map fold flyers and leaflets for your next event or campaign.
