Perforated Concertina Postcards: Format & Stock Options

When your design includes tear-off panels or detachable sections, the structure and paper choice need to be right from the start. Our perforated concertina cards are produced using precise folding and finishing standards to ensure clean tear lines and stable, consistent folds.

Available Stock Options

  • Silk
  • Gloss
  • Uncoated
  • One-sided board

These stocks balance flexibility and strength, helping prevent cracking along fold lines while keeping panels durable during handling and mailing.

Max Width

Concertina postcards are produced from a single continuous sheet, folded into equal panels. The maximum unfolded width depends on panel count and stock choice. Our team will confirm the ideal dimensions to ensure clean folding and reliable mailing.

Other Considerations

  • Perforation placement must align with the panel structure
  • Artwork must account for fold lines and safe zones
  • Heavier stocks may affect fold tension
  • Mailing requirements may influence the final folded size

If you are unsure about panel layout or stock suitability, share your artwork before ordering, and we will guide you.

View all our FAQs

View all our FAQ's
What is concertina card printing, and how does it differ from regular card printing?

Concertina card printing uses a concertina fold to turn one sheet into multiple connected panels. Unlike flat fold cards, this format helps organise lots of information in a structured flow, making it ideal for concertina postcard printing, leaflets, brochures, and storytelling pieces.

What is the difference between a concertina fold and Z-fold cards?

Both use an accordion structure, but z-cards or z-fold cards usually refer to a simple three-panel layout. A concertina fold can include more panels, making it better for concertina brochures, guides, or layouts with a lot of information.

What types of projects work best for concertina card printing?

Concertina formats suit product catalogues, coupon booklets, event programmes, maps, and concertina business cards. They are also popular for concertina book printing, and creative formats like a concertina birthday card or promotional folded pieces.

What sizes and formats are available?

We offer a variety of sizes, from compact formats close to credit card size up to larger folded formats. Whether you’re creating a small keepsake or a concertina card to make for an event or campaign, we help choose the right panel count.

Can I print small quantities of concertina-fold leaflets?

Yes. Like our leaflet printing, we support short runs as well as larger volumes. This is helpful when testing designs, printing samples, or producing limited runs such as concertina Christmas tree card designs for seasonal use.

What paper and finishing options are available?

We offer multiple cover options and cover styles, plus optional lamination, including soft-touch lamination. You can also add spot UV for emphasis and choose stocks that hold folds cleanly while keeping colours sharp.

Will my design print in full colour?

Yes. We use full colour printing to ensure strong contrast and bright colours across panels. This works especially well for illustrated greeting cards, promotional prints, and creative folded designs.

Do you provide a template for concertina layouts?

Yes. We can supply a concertina card template to help you set up folds, bleed, and safe zones correctly. This prevents artwork from crossing fold lines and ensures clean panel alignment.

Do you offer free delivery?

Yes. We include free delivery across the UK, including areas such as the Isle of Man, with reliable tracked shipping. Worldwide delivery is also available.

Can I see paper options before printing?

Absolutely. You can request a free sample pack to compare stocks and finishes before ordering. This helps you choose the right material for folding, durability, and final feel.

How do I structure content across the panels?

Concertina cards work best when the content flows panel by panel. They are ideal for structured layouts like specification tabs, instructions, or step-based information where readers move naturally from one section to the next.

How can I customise a concertina card for invitations or events?

You can customise a concertina card by using multiple panels for schedules, maps, RSVP details, or storytelling. Choose from various cover options, full colour printing, and optional lamination like soft touch or spot UV.

What are some popular design ideas for concertina greeting cards?

Popular ideas include seasonal themes, photo timelines, illustrated stories, and layered messages revealed panel by panel. Designs such as a concertina birthday card or themed greeting formats work especially well with this fold.

Where can I order personalised concertina cards online?

You can order personalised concertina cards directly through professional online printers like Ex Why Zed. Upload your artwork, choose your fold, stock, and finishes, then receive a file check and instant pricing.

Are eco-friendly or recycled options available for concertina card printing?

Yes, eco-friendly paper stocks and recycled options are available. You can choose uncoated or responsibly sourced papers that fold well while reducing environmental impact without compromising print quality.
