A concertina-folded leaflet should guide your reader smoothly from one panel to the next. Poor folding, misaligned panels, or dull colours can distract from your message. If your content needs fewer panels, a simpler fold from our folded leaflet range may suit it better.
That’s where we come in.
At Ex Why Zed, we make concertina-folded leaflet printing simple, precise, and professional. Whether you’re creating a step-by-step guide, product showcase, event programme, or visual timeline, we focus on sharp print quality, accurate folding, and clean finishes that enhance your design. The leaflet we printed for Communities Inc, A Quick Guide to Tackling Hate, shows the format at work: ten panels a side, folding down to a pocket sized 85mm square.
Choose from a range of paper stocks and finishes to suit your project, from lightweight handouts to premium promotional pieces. With fast turnaround times and reliable UK delivery, you can concentrate on your campaign, not printing issues.
We turn your artwork into fold-out leaflets that make a lasting impression.

"I felt like I really had my hand held with Ex Why Zed. I was worried that I would have missed something and the print run would have given me a few glaring mistakes, but I need not have worried. I was advised all the way, and it really feels like a personal service."

A concertina fold leaflet uses a zig-zag fold that creates connected panels opening in sequence. Unlike a cross fold, it unfolds in one direction, making it ideal for step-by-step storytelling, product showcases, or presenting a lot of information clearly.
Standard sizes often include A6, DL, and A5 when folded, with panels opening into wider flat formats. Many printers also offer custom sizes to suit branding needs, display requirements, or mailing formats, depending on your campaign goals and distribution plans.
Concertina leaflets commonly have 4, 6, 8, or 12 panels, depending on the type of fold selected. More panels allow you to organise content into clear sections, making it easier to guide readers through detailed messaging or structured layouts.
Concertina leaflets keep flyers compact while allowing them to expand into an engaging format. They guide readers smoothly from panel to panel, encourage interaction, and provide more space for storytelling, product ranges, promotions, or event information without feeling cluttered.
Common materials include gloss, silk, and uncoated paper stocks in various weights. Finishes can be matte or gloss-coated depending on your design. You can request a free sample pack to compare textures, thicknesses, and print quality before placing an order.
Printing costs depend on size, quantity, paper weight, finish, and turnaround speed. Larger runs reduce the cost per unit. Choosing faster production, such as next working day dispatch, may increase pricing slightly compared to standard turnaround schedules.
To print 5-up consecutive accordion layouts, set up artwork so five versions appear on one sheet, ensuring panel order aligns correctly. Use precise imposition settings, include bleed, and confirm fold marks before trimming and creating the concertina structure.
Consider how much content you need to present and how complex the design is. An 8-page version suits concise messaging, while 12 pages offer more space for visuals, detailed information, or structured storytelling across extended panels.
You can order custom concertina leaflets online through specialist print providers, like Ex Why Zed, offering clear pricing, artwork checks, and delivery options. Look for flexible quantities, paper choices, finish options, and support to ensure your design prints exactly as intended.
