Print is not just about looking good. It is about guiding attention, delivering information in sequence, and creating a format people actually interact with.
At Ex Why Zed, we produce concertina cards that work across real use cases such as direct mail, product storytelling, event handouts, portfolios, and campaigns. Whether you need a short run for testing or scalable production, our process is built for creators and businesses that care about structure, quality, and consistency.
Upload your artwork, request a quote, and let us guide you to the right folded print solution.
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
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
If you are unsure about panel layout or stock suitability, share your artwork before ordering, and we will guide you.
Creating folded print should feel straightforward, not uncertain. Our process removes guesswork and keeps everything clear from upload to delivery.

"Another great print job from ExWhyZed! This is the second time I have used them for book/zine publications and have never been disappointed. Help is always at the end of an email or telephone, and service is quick and easy, enabling full print and delivery within two weeks. My last Magazine 'Focus Quarterly', was true to colour (despite CMYK) and I couldn't be happier."

Have a last question before placing your order? This section covers the essentials to help you move forward with confidence and ensure your concertina fold cards are printed exactly as intended.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
