Folded Map Printing

Fold Out Map Printing

We highly recommend our versatile folding options, such as cross folds, half folds, and roll folds, for creating an effective and engaging folded map. These fold styles not only enhance the visual appeal of your maps but also provide ample space to include essential tourist information, such as nearby attractions, key landmarks, travel tips, and captivating images. By opting for these folding formats, you ensure that your map remains both practical and user-friendly, guiding travellers with clear, organised sections that make information easy to locate.

For those looking to offer an interactive experience, consider our uncoated paper options. This material choice is perfect for maps that double as checklists, allowing users to tick off locations as they visit each site. This feature adds an enjoyable, hands-on element to the map, transforming it from a simple navigation tool into a memorable keepsake. Uncoated maps encourage engagement, making them ideal for guests eager to explore every corner of a destination and remember their journey.

These map options are particularly well-suited for various settings, such as large holiday resorts, where guests can benefit from a guide that highlights on-site amenities, dining options, and recreational areas. Adventure theme parks can use these folded maps to help visitors navigate thrilling rides, shows, and special zones, while caravan parks and camping sites can showcase local hiking trails, scenic spots, and nearby facilities. Distributing these maps upon check-in gives guests an immediate sense of orientation and excitement, helping them plan their day with ease and efficiency.

With our extensive range of sizes and folding options, you have complete flexibility in designing a map that meets your needs. Choose a large-format A2 map that folds down neatly to fit into a handbag or backpack, providing a comprehensive layout without sacrificing portability. Alternatively, opt for a smaller, pocket-sized map that visitors can carry effortlessly throughout their journey, allowing for quick reference without taking up much space. The variety of choices ensures that whether you need a detailed, full-scale guide or a compact map for quick orientation, you can find the perfect fit.

Overall, the possibilities are virtually endless. Each map can be tailored with different paper weights, stocks, and finishing touches to create a unique look and feel that aligns with your brand’s identity. By providing a high-quality folded map, you elevate the visitor experience, making it easy and enjoyable for guests to navigate your location while leaving a lasting impression of convenience, professionalism, and attention to detail.

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.
