Overview
Creased leaflet printing at FatPrint, in short: fold a sheet of thick card without a crease and the ink splits along the spine, leaving a white, ragged line. A crease is a pressed groove along the fold that lets the card bend cleanly. These leaflets arrive creased but flat, which is exactly what you want for some jobs.
Why flat is handy
Flat sheets pack tidily, travel without crushing and can be folded on the day. Picture a funeral director folding orders of service the morning of the service, a restaurant keeping spare menus flat in a drawer, or a wedding couple folding programmes with friends the night before. You fold only what you need, when you need it.
Creased leaflet printing: folds and sizes
Flat sizes are A5 landscape, A4 portrait, A4 landscape, 420 × 210 mm and A3 landscape. Then choose a fold:
- Half fold. 1 crease, 4 pages. An A4 sheet halves to a 148 × 210 mm card.
- Gate fold. 2 creases, 6 pages. Two flaps open like doors.
- Z fold. 2 creases for 6 pages or 3 creases for 8, a concertina.
- Roll fold. 6 pages, panels tucking inside one another.
Choosing the stock
170gsm and 250gsm come in gloss or silk. 300gsm smooth white card is bright and takes a pen, good for invitations people fill in. 350gsm silk card is the stiffest, ideal for a menu that stands on a table. The heavier the stock, the more the crease earns its keep. Print on one side or both.
Artwork, timing and delivery
Send the flat sheet as a print-ready PDF with 3 mm bleed and the panels in order; we check that your file matches the fold. Use the free online designer or the paid artwork service if you need a hand, and see the artwork guidelines.
Creased leaflet printing is made to order and dispatched from the UK. Express is from 4 working days to dispatch, Standard from 6 and Saver from 8, once your order and artwork are confirmed.

Questions
Quick answers about creased leaflet printing.
How long until my creased leaflet order ships?
Pick Saver (9 working days), Standard (7 working days) or Express (5 working days); that is the time before it leaves us. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code. Highlands mainland addresses add £10; Northern Ireland and the islands are quoted first.
How do I prepare artwork for creased leaflets?
Send a print-ready PDF showing the whole flat sheet with 3 mm bleed, the panels arranged in the order your fold requires. A person checks the file matches the fold before it goes to print.
Does a person look at my creased leaflet artwork?
Yes. Before your creased leaflet goes to print, someone checks resolution, size and bleed, and that the layout matches the fold you picked. Paid help is there too: a clean layout from your text and logo (£15), a design from your brief (£35) or a logo redraw (£30), each with one first draft and two rounds of changes.
Will creased leaflets arrive folded, or do we fold them?
They come flat, with the crease lines already pressed in. You do the folding, which is quick work because each crease guides the card into place.
Why would I want a creased leaflet over a folded one?
Heavier card, around 250gsm to 350gsm, can split along the edge when it is folded. Creasing it first lets the card bend without cracking, so the fold stays tidy.
We need orders of service for a funeral. Will creased leaflets work?
Yes. Choose A4 with a half fold for a 4-page order of service that closes to A5, 148 × 210 mm. A card stock gives it a more substantial feel in people's hands.
What stock should I go for on creased leaflets?
170gsm is the lightest. 250gsm in gloss or silk is firmer. For menus, invitations and cards, 300gsm smooth white card or 350gsm silk card are the better fit.
Asked by buyers
How much will Creased Leaflets set me back?
£26.61 is where Creased Leaflets start, set up as A5 landscape · 210 × 148 mm, half fold (1 crease), 4 pages, folds to 105 × 148 mm and 350gsm silk card on the Saver speed. Change the size, material, extras, quantity or speed and the total on the page moves straight away. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, with delivery the only thing that can be added. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted).
Is delivery ever free?
It is £7.95 for the whole order, not per item, and free once the goods reach £100 after any discount code; design or artwork charges are left out of that £100. On its own the opening price of £26.61 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A mainland Highlands postcode puts a single £10 on the order. Northern Ireland has its delivery priced before you pay, and so do the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man.
If I buy Creased Leaflets today, when will they leave you?
As the page first opens, the speeds for Creased Leaflets are Express 5 working days, Standard 7 and Saver 9, counting Monday to Friday and skipping bank holidays. The count begins once we have your order and a file ready to print. A bigger size or a different material can move it by a day either way; each speed shows its own days as you choose. Tracking arrives by email on the day it ships, and the courier usually takes one to three working days from there.
I cannot design at all. Can someone make the artwork for me?
Yes. When you choose the Artwork option you can pick from: send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Each fee is fixed, sits as its own line in your basket and covers every item on that line. Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Prefer to do it yourself? The online designer is free to use. Material choices for Creased Leaflets: 170gsm gloss, 170gsm silk or 250gsm gloss.
Could I lay out these flyers myself on your website?
Yes. Start the designer from this page, choose a layout to begin with, then drop in your text, logo and photos and drag them where you want. It checks as you go and warns you about leftover sample text, lettering that is too small, anything outside the safe area and images too low in resolution, all before you finish. Designing and previewing costs nothing. The watermark you see on screen is never printed; once you finish, it goes into the basket. Make the artwork for these flyers the same size as the one you order, such as A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm).
Thin or thick: what paper weight suits these flyers?
Weights here run from 170gsm to 350gsm. 170gsm has a firmer feel, good for leaflets you hope people hold on to. 250gsm or heavier starts to feel like card, which suits menus, price lists and anything left standing on a counter. For these flyers, the material can be 350gsm silk card, 300gsm smooth white card, 250gsm silk, 250gsm gloss, 170gsm silk or 170gsm gloss.
Which sizes can Creased Leaflets be printed in?
Smallest: A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm), from £26.61. Biggest: A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm), from £31.23. 2 more are listed in between, each priced on the cheapest options. Not sure which? Mark the space out with tape or string first and stand back to look.
Is there a minimum quantity for these flyers?
The smallest order is 50 and the largest listed is 5000; the list starts 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000 and 2500 and carries on from there. The price on the page covers every item in that quantity. To compare two quantities fairly, split each total by its number. A bigger run than the list allows can be priced separately on our Get a quote page. Before delivery, these flyers cost from £26.61.
How much for the biggest size, A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm)?
From £31.23 for 50, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Sizes for these flyers go from A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm) at the small end to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm), 4 in all.
How much does an A4 landscape (297 × 210 mm) flyer cost?
From £29.84 for 50, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each flyer is made to order for you.
Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?
The only thing that can join the goods price is delivery; the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted). If you pick a paid design option, it sits in the basket as a separate line with its own fee, so every penny is listed before you pay. Before delivery, these flyers cost from £26.61.
I am never sure how many to print. How many flyers is sensible?
Print what you will get through before anything on it goes stale, such as a phone number, a price or an offer. You can order anything between 50 and 5,000. Try two or three amounts on this page and work out the cost per flyer. Testing a new design? A smaller first batch lets you see how it goes before a bigger run. Sizes for these flyers go from A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm) at the small end to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm), 4 in all.
Is there a quicker turnaround for these flyers?
Work back from the day you need them. Express takes 5 working days to get Creased Leaflets out, against 9 on Saver, and costs £30.81 on the opening option rather than £26.61. Add up to three working days for the courier, plus any time you need to finish the file. Cutting it fine? Put your date in the question box before you order.
I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will Creased Leaflets cost more to send?
The whole UK is covered. Outside it, sadly, we cannot deliver. Mainland addresses in the Highlands pay one extra £10 on the order, even when delivery would otherwise be free. For Northern Ireland, and for the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man, we tell you the delivery cost before you pay, so message us your postcode on the Contact page or our Get a quote page. Choose Saver and these flyers leave us after 9 working days; Express brings that down to 5.
Which file formats can I upload?
A PDF made at the size you ordered works best, with the fonts embedded or turned into outlines. AI, EPS and SVG are fine too, as are high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF images. Word, PowerPoint or Canva designs can be used, but save them out as a full quality PDF where you can. Attach up to 3 files of up to 25 MB each on the product page, or order first and send them afterwards; we email you a link. Make the artwork for these flyers the same size as the one you order, such as A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm).
How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these flyers?
Roughly 4,961 pixels across and 3,508 down for an A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) design, which is 300 dpi. Things read at arm's length need that 300 dpi at full size to stay crisp. Text and logos are safest as vector art, which never goes fuzzy. Pictures saved from a website or social media are nearly always too small, and our file check will point out any that could print blurred.
Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?
Every file gets a human check for size, bleed and resolution, and we contact you about any problem before printing. With the online designer, what you see on screen is what gets printed. Nobody can know your details better than you, so double-check names, numbers and dates: we print what is supplied, and work begins once the order and file are confirmed. Sizes for these flyers go from A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm) at the small end to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm), 4 in all.
Our wording is not finished yet. Can I still pay now and send it later?
Yes. Pay now and add the file afterwards: uploading after ordering is allowed, so you do not have to wait for the final version. If a volunteer, friend or designer is preparing it, they can send the finished file to you to upload, or get in touch through our Contact page quoting your order number. Nothing goes to print until the file arrives and has been checked, so if there is a date to hit, get the artwork over as soon as you can. Make the artwork for these flyers the same size as the one you order, such as A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm).
I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?
You will not be left guessing. Each uploaded file is opened and looked over by a member of the team, and problems such as low-resolution pictures, no bleed or the wrong page size are sent back to you to fix before printing. If fixing it sounds like a chore, choose typesetting for £15: we lay out your text and logo, show you a first draft, then make up to two rounds of changes. Make the artwork for these flyers the same size as the one you order, such as A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm).
Once I finish designing these flyers online, is the file mine to keep?
Yes. Order printing with an online design and a full resolution PDF comes with it; after payment you can download it from your confirmation email or from My Account. Just want the file? Finish the design and buy the print-ready PDF on its own for £9.99. As digital content, it cannot be cancelled once the download begins. Make the artwork for these flyers the same size as the one you order, such as A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm).
Does the paper option I choose make a difference to Creased Leaflets?
The gsm figure is the weight of the paper in grams for each square metre, so a bigger number means a thicker, firmer sheet. Silk and gloss have a coating that keeps print sharp and bright, while uncoated sheets take a pen more easily. For Creased Leaflets the list runs 350gsm silk card, 300gsm smooth white card, 250gsm silk, 250gsm gloss, 170gsm silk or 170gsm gloss. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.
Printed on Creased Leaflets: how do the choices differ?
It sets which sides of the item get printed. For Creased Leaflets the list runs both sides or front only. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.
Can you explain the flat size setting for Creased Leaflets?
This is how big the sheet is before any folding. For Creased Leaflets the list runs A3 landscape · 420 × 297 mm, 420 × 210 mm, A4 landscape · 297 × 210 mm, A4 · 210 × 297 mm or A5 landscape · 210 × 148 mm. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.
Which fold would you suggest for Creased Leaflets?
The fold option has 13 settings: half fold (1 crease), 4 pages, folds to 105 × 297 mm; or roll fold, 6 pages, folds to 140 × 297 mm, and 11 others. A half fold goes down the middle once. Roll folds tuck panels inside each other, while Z folds open out like a concertina. A gate fold opens from the centre like two doors, and a cross fold is two folds at right angles. Each option lists its folded size. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds.
I run a small cafe. Could I print our takeaway menu as a flyer?
It works well for that. Pick a card-like weight of 250gsm or more so the menu survives the counter, and print on both sides to fit the dishes, prices, opening times and contact details. Menu-friendly sizes on this page: A5 landscape, A4 or A4 landscape. Keep the run modest if your prices change often. For these flyers, the material can be 350gsm silk card, 300gsm smooth white card, 250gsm silk, 250gsm gloss, 170gsm silk or 170gsm gloss.
How would I decide between Flyers and Creased Leaflets?
Comparing Creased Leaflets with Flyers, this is what changes. Material: 250gsm gloss, 170gsm silk or 170gsm gloss on this page, against 170gsm gloss, 130gsm silk or 130gsm gloss on the other. Sizes: 4 on this page, the smallest A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm), and 8 on the other, the smallest A7. Opening price: £26.61 on this page and £18.68 on the other. On the Standard service it is 7 working days on this page and 3 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
Where do Creased Leaflets and Metallic Foil Flyers differ?
Set Creased Leaflets beside Metallic Foil Flyers and a few things differ. Material: 250gsm gloss, 170gsm silk or 170gsm gloss on this page, against 350gsm silk card or 350gsm uncoated card on the other. Sizes: 4 on this page, the smallest A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm), and 4 on the other, the smallest A6 (105 × 148 mm). Opening price: £26.61 on this page and £58.31 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
Should I get Creased Leaflets, or would Laminated Flyers suit me better?
Comparing Creased Leaflets with Laminated Flyers, this is what changes. Material: 250gsm gloss, 170gsm silk or 170gsm gloss on this page, against 450gsm silk card or 350gsm silk card on the other. Sizes: 4 on this page, the smallest A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm), and 6 on the other, the smallest A7. Opening price: £26.61 on this page and £26.93 on the other. On the Standard service it is 7 working days on this page and 6 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
Can I swap my file once I have paid?
It depends on timing. Until production begins, a new file can replace the old one, or the order can be cancelled with a full refund; once it has begun, nothing can be changed. Message us straight away on the Contact page with your order number. Items printed exactly as supplied or designed do not count as faulty, so check names, numbers and dates first. Sizes for these flyers go from A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm) at the small end to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm), 4 in all.
Who looks after me once I have bought Creased Leaflets?
You deal with FatPrint the whole way through. Once you order, somebody checks the artwork, Creased Leaflets are printed specially for your order, and a courier delivers them with a tracking link by email. Need to ask something along the way? Use the question box here or the Contact page and a real person answers.
Our club needs a big batch of flyers, or an odd size. Can you price it?
Our Get a quote page is the place, and it also handles delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. For anything the page cannot do, tell us the size, number, material, date and postcode on Get a quote, add a file if you have one, and we email a price back. Before delivery, these flyers cost from £26.61.
Do I have to register before I can buy?
No. Guest checkout is fine, and card payments go through Stripe, so a debit card or a credit card both work. If you choose to open an account while checking out, My Account keeps your past orders and the print files of anything you designed online. Guest or not, you get an email confirming the order and another with tracking once it is sent. Before delivery, these flyers cost from £26.61.
We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?
One checkout covers the lot. Add a basket line for every design, attach the right file to each, then pay once. You pay a single delivery charge of £7.95 for the whole order, or nothing if the goods add up to £100 or more. Repeating one design on another line? Choose the artwork choice that points to a file already in the basket, and no second design fee is charged. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each flyer is made to order for you.
Which cards do you take, and is paying online safe?
You pay by debit or credit card when you check out, and you can do it as a guest without making an account. Card details are handled by Stripe, a specialist payment company, so the full card number never reaches us or sits on our system. Printing starts after payment goes through and your file has been checked. If your group needs a price agreed before anyone pays, ask for a quote instead. Sizes for these flyers go from A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm) at the small end to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm), 4 in all.
Can the back of these flyers carry different information from the front?
It can. Choose double-sided printing and upload a two-page PDF, with the front as page one and the back as page two. The back is handy for a club's fixtures, a cafe menu, collection times or directions to a venue. In the online designer, switch between front and back as you work. If you have no file, you can build the design for these flyers in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering.
I have never ordered printing before. Do I need to know the technical words?
No. A person on our team checks every file for size, bleed and resolution and tells you in plain words if anything needs changing. The free online designer also warns you about small text and blurry images before you finish. Or pick typesetting for £15 and we lay out your words and logo for you, with a first draft and two rounds of changes. Make the artwork for these flyers the same size as the one you order, such as A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm).
Which mistakes does the online designer warn me about?
Spelling is the one thing it cannot judge, so read that yourself. It does catch placeholder words nobody changed, tiny lettering, anything drifting beyond the safe area or near the trim, blurry logos and photos, and objects covering words. Issues that would spoil the print stop you finishing until they are sorted; lighter warnings you may choose to accept. Make the artwork for these flyers the same size as the one you order, such as A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm).
Can I design these flyers first and show the committee before we pay?
Yes. The online designer is free to use, so you can build the design, look at it on screen and share it round before anyone commits. The preview carries a watermark on screen only; it never appears on the printed item. When everyone is happy, finish the design and order. What you see is what gets printed, so check names, dates and numbers together first. Make the artwork for these flyers the same size as the one you order, such as A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm).
What details should go on these flyers for a small business or club?
Start with your name and logo, a few words on what you do, then your phone number, email, website and the area you cover. If your line of work needs a registration number, add it as text. Less is more: a handful of big, clear words is easier to read than a long list. For these flyers, the material can be 350gsm silk card, 300gsm smooth white card, 250gsm silk, 250gsm gloss, 170gsm silk or 170gsm gloss.
How should we keep these flyers in good condition until we need them?
Flat, dry and dark is the rule. Leave them in their box, away from damp, direct sun and heaters. Damp paper curls and can jam a printer, while sunlight slowly fades the ink. Take a handful at a time and keep the rest boxed. For these flyers, the material can be 350gsm silk card, 300gsm smooth white card, 250gsm silk, 250gsm gloss, 170gsm silk or 170gsm gloss.
