Folded flyers give you more space to present information while keeping the finished piece compact and easy to handle. With multiple pages or panels available, they are particularly useful for menus, price lists, service information, event programmes and promotions that need more room than a single-sheet flyer.
Our folded flyer range includes 4 page A7, A6, A5 and A4 formats, together with 4 page DL, 6 page DL, A3 roll fold and 4 page 148mm square flyers. Use the size guide below to compare the finished dimensions and find a format that suits the amount and type of information you need to include.
| Flyer Format | Finished Size | Ideal For | Why Choose This Size? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 Page A7 | 74 x 105mm | Pocket-sized promotions, mini price lists, appointment information, product inserts, instructions and compact service guides. | A very small folded format that provides four printable pages while remaining easy to carry, include with an order or hand out to customers. |
| 4 Page A6 | 105 x 148mm | Promotional leaflets, takeaway information, small menus, service lists, event details and local business advertising. | Provides considerably more content space than a single A6 flyer while retaining a compact finished size that is convenient to distribute. |
| 4 Page A5 | 148 x 210mm | Menus, price lists, service guides, event programmes, product information, business promotions and detailed marketing material. | A versatile folded size with four A5 pages, giving you plenty of room for images and information without becoming too large to handle. |
| 4 Page A4 | 210 x 297mm | Detailed menus, product guides, presentations, programmes, newsletters, property information and extensive service or price lists. | The larger pages provide generous space for detailed content, large photographs, diagrams or designs that need plenty of room. |
| 4 Page DL | 99 x 210mm | Menus, treatment lists, price lists, service information, mailings, hospitality promotions and rack displays. | A slim, professional-looking format that works particularly well for lists and structured information, with four separate pages available for your design. |
| 6 Page DL | 99 x 210mm | Takeaway menus, restaurant menus, tourism information, service guides, price lists, product ranges and promotional brochures. | Six panels give you more room to organise information into clear sections while the finished leaflet remains a convenient DL size. |
| A3 Roll Fold | 141 x 297mm | Detailed product information, maps, guides, extensive price lists, menus, programmes and information-led marketing. | An A3 sheet divided into multiple panels provides a large printable area that folds down into a much narrower format, making it useful for content that needs to be broken into sections. |
| 4 Page 148mm Square | 148 x 148mm | Invitations, premium promotions, menus, product launches, beauty and lifestyle marketing, events and creative business advertising. | The square format creates a distinctive appearance while the four-page layout provides additional space for imagery, information and branding. |
The best folded flyer size will depend on both the amount of information you need to include and how the finished piece will be used. Compact A7 and A6 formats work well for shorter messages and handouts, while A5 and A4 folded flyers provide considerably more room for detailed content, photographs and multiple sections.
DL folded flyers are particularly useful for menus, price lists and service information. A 4 page DL gives you a simple folded layout, while a 6 page DL provides additional panels for organising larger amounts of content. For designs requiring even more space, an A3 roll fold allows information to be divided into a series of easy-to-follow sections.
For something a little different, the 148mm square folded flyer combines a distinctive shape with four printable pages, making it well suited to creative promotions, invitations and image-led designs.

Folded flyers give you the compact convenience of a promotional flyer with additional pages or panels for supporting information. They are useful when a single sheet does not provide enough room for your message but a booklet would be more than you need.

A folded flyer does not have to communicate everything at once.
The closed front gives you an opportunity to capture attention with the most important part of the promotion. Once opened, the additional space can explain the offer, introduce products or services, show photographs, provide prices or give the reader the information needed to respond.
This can be particularly useful when your promotion has several parts. Rather than trying to fit everything onto one side of a flat flyer, information can be separated into a more natural sequence.
For example, a folded flyer promoting a business might begin with the main service or offer on the cover, use the inside pages to explain different services and finish with contact details or a clear next step.
Before choosing a folded flyer format, it can help to decide what the main purpose of the promotion actually is.
If the flyer is advertising an offer, that offer should normally be easy to identify before the reader has to search through the design. If it promotes several services, the most important service or overall business message can lead into the more detailed information inside.
Once that main message is clear, the remaining panels can support it rather than competing with it.
The fold itself can be used to control how information is revealed.
With a simple 4 page folded flyer, the reader sees the cover first, then the full inside spread, followed by the back. This makes it possible to create a natural progression from attention-grabbing promotion to more detailed information.
For 6 page and roll-fold flyers, the sequence can be developed further. Individual panels might introduce separate services, menu sections, product groups or stages of a promotion. Thinking about the order in which the flyer opens can make the finished design feel much more deliberate.
A 4 page folded flyer is a straightforward choice when you need more room than a flat flyer but your content can still be organised into a few clear sections.
Four pages give you a front, two inside pages and a back, which is enough for many promotional uses.
An A6 or A5 folded flyer, for example, could use the cover for an offer, the inside for details and photographs, and the back for contact information.
Larger A4 versions provide considerably more room and can accommodate detailed promotions, programmes, product information or larger images without making individual sections feel crowded.
A 6 page DL flyer is particularly useful when several related pieces of information need their own space.
The extra panels can be used for individual services, menu categories, product groups, different offers or stages of a customer journey.
Because the finished flyer remains just 99 x 210mm, it provides substantial printable space without becoming bulky.
This format works especially well where the reader is likely to browse rather than read everything in one continuous block. Clear headings on each panel can help them find the part that interests them quickly.
The narrow shape of DL naturally suits information arranged vertically.
Prices, treatments, menu sections, service packages and opening information can all be organised into neat columns or panel sections.
The format can also work well for promotional mailings and counter displays because the finished flyer has a relatively small footprint.
When designing for DL, avoid squeezing too many words into narrow columns. Allowing enough white space between individual items will usually make the finished flyer easier to scan.
An A3 roll-fold flyer gives you a much larger flat printable area divided into several panels.
It finishes at approximately 141 x 297mm, with the narrower inside panel designed to tuck neatly into the folded piece.
This can work particularly well when a promotion contains several stages or categories. A restaurant might separate different parts of a menu, a venue might present an event programme in sequence, or a business could give each major service its own section.
Because the panels fold around one another, artwork should be created specifically for the roll-fold layout. Treating every panel as identical without considering the way the flyer closes can lead to alignment and folding problems.
Folded flyers give you additional room for photography and graphics, but filling every available area with images can make the design harder to follow.
Try to give the strongest photographs or illustrations enough space to have an impact rather than placing many small images close together.
Images can also help separate different parts of the promotion. A photograph beside each service category, for example, can make individual sections easier to recognise when somebody quickly scans the flyer.
Text placed over photographs should remain easy to read, and important details such as prices, dates and contact information should not become lost within busy imagery.
A promotional flyer is most useful when the reader knows what to do after reading it.
The action does not necessarily need to appear on every panel, but it should be easy to find. For folded flyers containing a large amount of information, placing the main contact or response details on the back can provide a useful final destination once the reader has worked through the promotion.
There is no single folded flyer size that suits every promotion.
A7 and A6 formats are useful when the finished piece needs to remain compact and the message is relatively short.
A5 provides more room for photographs and supporting information while remaining convenient to distribute, making it a versatile choice for general promotional printing.
A4 is useful for information-heavy designs or promotions where larger images and more generous text areas are important.
DL works especially well for vertically organised content, while 6 page DL gives you additional sections without increasing the finished size.
A3 roll fold provides the greatest amount of panel space in the range, while the 148mm square format offers a less traditional shape for promotions where presentation is an important part of the design.
A folded flyer has two dimensions to think about: the size of the sheet before folding and the size customers receive after it has been folded.
For example, a 4 page A5 folded flyer is printed on an A4 sheet and then folded in half to produce four A5 pages.
The same principle applies to the other simple 4 page formats: the artwork covers the full flat sheet, which is then folded to create the finished pages.
This is why folded flyer artwork should be prepared as a complete flat layout rather than creating one finished-size panel and expecting it to be repeated automatically. DL, square and roll-fold products have their own flat dimensions and panel arrangements, so it is important to design for the specific folded flyer being ordered.
Fold positions form part of the finished design and should be considered when arranging artwork.
Avoid positioning important words, telephone numbers, logos or faces directly across a fold wherever possible. Small changes in folding position are normal in physical print production, so giving important content some space around a crease is preferable to relying on exact alignment.
Background colours and photographs can cross a fold, but important information should remain comfortably within each panel.
For roll-fold flyers, panel widths also need particular attention because the panel that folds inside is slightly narrower than the others.
Short Run Print is intended for customers supplying completed print-ready artwork.
Your design might have been created in professional design software, prepared using an online design platform, supplied by a graphic designer or produced with the help of an AI-assisted design tool.
We do not provide pre-designed folded flyer templates for customers to customise. Instead, you choose the appropriate product and upload your finished artwork when ordering.
The artwork preview gives you an opportunity to confirm that the intended file has been selected before completing your purchase.
Folded flyers can be particularly useful for short-lived promotions where information may change from one campaign to the next.
Offers, menus, prices, event dates and product ranges can all change regularly. Ordering shorter quantities allows the artwork to be updated for future campaigns rather than committing to a large stock of printed material containing old information.
At Short Run Print, you can choose your folded flyer format, paper, printing options and quantity before supplying your artwork. Free standard delivery is included on every order, with folded flyer printing dispatched within 24 hours.
A folded flyer is printed on a larger flat sheet and folded to form separate pages or panels. It gives you more printable space than a single flat flyer while remaining compact when finished.
A flat flyer is a single unfolded sheet, while a folded flyer uses one or more folds to create separate pages or panels. Folded flyers are particularly useful when a promotion contains more information than comfortably fits on one flat sheet.
A 4 page folded flyer is normally created by printing both sides of a larger sheet and folding it once. This produces a front cover, two inside pages and a back page.
A 4 page A5 folded flyer is printed on an A4 sheet and folded in half, producing four A5 pages.
Both finish at 99 x 210mm. A 4 page DL has a simpler folded layout, while a 6 page DL provides additional panels for organising larger amounts of information.
An A3 roll-fold flyer is printed on an A3 sheet and folded into several panels, finishing at approximately 141 x 297mm. The inner panel is narrower so that it can tuck neatly inside the folded flyer.
Yes. Upload your completed artwork when ordering and use the preview to check that you have selected the correct file before purchase.
No. We do not provide pre-designed folded flyer templates for customisation. Artwork can be created yourself, supplied by a designer or produced using suitable design software or an AI-assisted design service.
