148mm square leaflets provide a balanced format for promotions, information and designs where visual presentation is an important part of the layout. Measuring 148 x 148mm, the equal proportions give photographs, illustrations, headings and supporting information plenty of room without using a traditional rectangular page.
Upload your own print-ready artwork and choose from gloss, silk and uncoated paper stocks. Square leaflets can be printed on one or both sides, giving you the option of keeping the design simple or using the reverse for additional information.
Square leaflets work particularly well for designs where images and presentation play an important role. Common uses include product showcases, menus, event information, service promotions, special offers, business introductions, price information and marketing material.
The proportions can also suit content arranged around a central image or heading. This makes the format useful for businesses wanting something visually different from conventional A-series or DL leaflets while still providing practical space for useful information.
The main advantage of a square leaflet is its equal width and height. The balanced shape can work particularly well with centred typography, photographs, illustrations and symmetrical layouts.
If your content naturally follows a more traditional portrait format, an A5 Leaflet may be more suitable. The 148mm square format is a useful alternative when the shape itself forms an important part of the design.
Square artwork does not need to follow a portrait or landscape layout, giving you more freedom to organise the content around a central focal point. This can work well for product photography, bold headings, illustrations and designs where information is arranged evenly around the page.
If you are adapting artwork originally designed for a rectangular format, it is usually better to rearrange the layout rather than simply crop it to a square. This helps make better use of the available space and avoids important content sitting awkwardly near the edges.
Single-sided printing is suitable when the complete message can be presented clearly on one face. Double-sided printing gives you additional room for prices, product details, terms, opening information or contact details while allowing the front of the leaflet to remain visually simple.
148mm square leaflets are available on gloss, silk and uncoated stocks. Gloss can suit colourful photography and image-led designs, silk provides a smoother and more understated appearance, while uncoated paper offers a natural surface that can work well for information-led artwork or designs that may need to be written on.

Square leaflets have a finished size of 148 x 148mm. Artwork should be prepared at the correct dimensions and include the required bleed beyond the finished edge wherever colours, photographs or graphics are intended to continue to the edge.
We require 2mm bleed on every edge, giving an overall artwork size of 152 x 152mm. Background colours, photographs and graphics that continue to the finished edge should extend fully into this additional area.
Important text, prices, logos and contact details should remain at least 3mm inside the finished edge. Keeping essential information within this safe area helps prevent it appearing too close to the trim after finishing.
Artwork should be supplied at the correct size, with photographs and other raster images ideally set at 300dpi at their final printed dimensions. This helps photographs, logos and detailed graphics remain clear when printed.
Where possible, prepare artwork using CMYK colour rather than RGB. Screens display colour in RGB, while commercial printing typically reproduces colour using CMYK. Because the two colour systems work differently, some colours may appear slightly different in print compared with how they look on screen.
Square designs often use centred content, borders or symmetrical layouts, so positioning deserves particular attention. Avoid placing narrow decorative borders very close to the trim, as small variations during finishing can make an otherwise even border appear unbalanced.
If you are unsure about the finished dimensions, bleed or safe area, use the 148mm square leaflet artwork diagram above as a guide before uploading your file. Checking the design beforehand can help prevent unwanted white edges, cropped content or important information sitting too close to the finished trim.
