Folded Event Programmes

Folded Event Programmes

With an extensive selection of sizes and fold options, you can create a detailed event programme that remains compact yet packed with essential information. These programmes are ideal for events that require an organised, user-friendly guide, especially those taking place across large areas or multiple venues, such as art festivals, exhibitions, or multi-site events. Including a detailed map is straightforward with our cross and half-folded options, which offer plenty of space to outline locations, timings, and other important details, ensuring attendees have everything they need at their fingertips.

Our folded event programmes are a perfect solution for universities and schools hosting open days. With activities and talks often spread across large campuses, a folded programme helps visitors navigate effortlessly between locations, find specific departments, and access schedules with ease. The compact design makes it easy for attendees to carry the programme with them, while the variety of folding styles allows for a visually engaging layout that highlights key information, such as directions, speaker details, and event timings.

These programmes are also ideal for hotels that wish to provide guests with a schedule of evening entertainment, dining options, and other amenities. Distributing a neatly folded programme at check-in or in guests’ rooms adds a touch of professionalism and elevates the guest experience by ensuring they are informed about all that’s on offer during their stay. With options for high-quality materials and finishes, these programmes reflect the hotel's commitment to service and attention to detail.

Our wide range of fold styles—including cross folds, half folds, and even roll folds—means you can customise the programme to best suit the nature of your event. From pocket-sized formats that fit easily in a pocket or bag to larger layouts that unfold to reveal a wealth of information, the flexibility allows you to create a programme that truly enhances the event experience. Additionally, we offer sustainable paper choices for eco-conscious organisations, helping you minimise environmental impact while providing a tactile, high-quality finish.

In short, our folded event programmes are versatile, practical, and designed to leave a lasting impression. Whatever the occasion, they offer a compact yet comprehensive solution for presenting essential event information in a professional and appealing format.

Technical Specifications for Folded Leaflets

How To Design Unlaminated Folded Leaflets

• Artwork templates are available for download to assist with setting up your files. These include the panel widths required, too.

• Before submitting folded leaflet artwork, we recommend you print a mock up to check the artwork is positioned correctly.

• When creating any leaflet, please supply your artwork as a 2 page, double sided PDF. For example, on an A4 folded to A5, page 1 should display pages 4 & 1 of the leaflet and page 2 should display pages 2 & 3, as shown in this illustration. 

• When creating artwork with a landscape fold, please submit the front and back pages on the same page, with the front page orientation correct and the back page rotated 180°. The inside pages should be on page 2 and rotated 180° so that the orientation is correct on the final print. You can check the orientation is correct by printing a mock up before submitting your artwork.

• Please note for artwork that includes coloured backgrounds, or coloured elements which overlap the fold lines, we would recommend ordering our laminated leaflets to protect the ink and paper from cracking and provide a smooth fold.
