At first glance, this looks like a slim photo zine. Then it opens… and keeps opening.
Documentary photographer Will Hartley wanted a compact, gallery-ready promo for an exhibition — something that could sit on a plinth, stand up on a desk, and still feel like a “book” in the hand. We printed it as a double-sided concertina on sturdy silk card, with a faux spine and wraparound cover panel.
Key print spec:
• Flat size: 200 × 994mm
• Finished size: 200 × 124mm (16pp concertina / 8 folds)
• Stock: 300gsm silk card, full colour both sides
• Detail: 5mm false spine after first fold + wraparound cover panel

With folded leaflets, it's always best to make a mock-up first so you are comfortable that all the panels are in the correct place when they're folded. There can be a few millimetres of movement during the printing and folding process so it's best to not produce your design with specific borders within the panels in case there is some movement and they slip over the fold.
Will it look like it does on screen?
Unfortunately what is seen on an RGB, backlit screen is never going to be the same as it appears on paper in cmyk. It's just impossible to achieve that and no printer could. You will have to allow for some difference in the colours between the two mediums but having something tangible in your hands and seeing the images on paper gives the publication a charm that just sending out a pdf wont do.
We will aim to deliver the finished work in 5-10 working days after receiving your print-ready artwork. The precise length of time depends on how complex the folding is and how many copies you are going for.
If you are working to a crucial hand in deadline then we strongly advise leaving more time in case there are any artwork issues with your files or courier problems with delivery.
Additionally there can be a day or two of amends required to the artwork before it's print ready which we're more than happy to help with but you'll need to factor that in to timings.
Remember, we’ll need a hi res pdf file with 3mm bleed and crop marks on each edge to go ahead please. Sending it over correctly first time means we can go straight to print. Do have a last check through our file set up guides to make sure all the boxes are ticked.
We will need 3mm bleed on all the edges, you'll notice at the moment that the artwork stops at the crop marks - it needs to extend 3mm beyond this to avoid any chance of a white border.
The following page includes illustrated and video guides on how to set up bleed correctly:
The more folds you have and the thicker paper you use, the more chance there is of it bouncing open.
If you have a cross fold leaflet, so for example A2 folded to A5 where it one way across then the other way, we recommend using 100gsm or 115gsm to ensure a crisp fold.
