At printways.co.uk, we supply premium DL trifold leaflets UK businesses trust for sharp, crack-free folding, vibrant full-colour print, and high-speed delivery. Whether you need cheap DL folded leaflets for nationwide letterbox drops or luxury 350gsm creased cards for boutique salons, we provide custom DL folded leaflets that turn casual prospects into paying customers.
Popular Folding Styles for DL Leaflets
We manufacture three primary folding setups to suit your content flow and customer interaction:
6-Page C-Fold (Roll Fold)
The UK’s #1 choice for takeaway menus and corporate brochures. The right panel folds neatly inside while the left panel opens like a book cover, unveiling your content in an intuitive, multi-stage narrative.
Panel Sizes: 100mm Cover | 100mm Back | 97mm Tuck-In
6-Page Z-Fold (Accordion)
Folded in a concertina zig-zag pattern with three equal 99mm panels. Perfect for step-by-step guides, timelines, multi-lingual translations, and panoramic graphic designs that open out flat.
Panel Sizes: 3 Equal 99 x 210 mm Panels
4-Page Half-Fold (Bi-Fold)
A clean, vertical single fold that transforms a 198 x 210 mm flat sheet into a sleek 4-page greeting-card style booklet. Ideal for event invitations, VIP vouchers, and concise service menus.
Panel Sizes: 2 Equal 99 x 210 mm Panels
Premium Paper Stocks & Crack-Free Creasing
How your leaflet feels between your customer's fingertips directly reflects your brand’s standards. At Printways, we print our DL leaflets on sustainably sourced, FSC-certified paper stocks in a range of weights:
- 130gsm Budget Gloss & Silk: The ultimate cost-effective solution for large-scale door-to-door unaddressed drops and street marketing campaigns where low per-unit cost is essential.
- 170gsm Commercial Workhorse (Recommended): The UK standard for takeaway menus and retail brochures. Substantial, durable, and resists creasing from repeated customer handling.
- 250gsm Heavyweight Luxury Stock: A premium, heavyweight option that bridges the gap between paper and board. Holds sharp fold lines and stands upright in countertop leaflet holders.
- 300gsm & 350gsm Creased Heavy Art Board: built for luxury price lists and corporate presentations. We apply precision mechanical scoring and creasing before folding, preventing fiber cracking along the spine for a flawless finish.
- 120gsm Uncoated Bond & Recycled Kraft: Tactile, organic, and fully pen-friendly. Perfect for medical appointment cards, client feedback forms, and eco-friendly artisan branding.
Why UK Businesses Choose DL Trifold Leaflets
The DL format dominates British high streets, trade counters, and direct marketing for four powerful commercial reasons:
✉️ Royal Mail Direct Mail Savings
Finished DL leaflets (99 x 210 mm) slip perfectly inside standard UK DL mailing envelopes (110 x 220 mm). You can mail full 6-page brochures at standard Royal Mail letter-rate postage, saving hundreds of pounds on postal campaigns compared to bulky catalogues.
🏨 Tourist & Countertop Display Fit
From hotel concierge desks to tourist information centres, motorway service stations, and reception counters, display dispensers across the UK are universally built to hold standard DL leaflets.
🍕 The Takeaway & Restaurant Benchmark
With six dedicated panels, you can separate starters, chef specials, main courses, sides, drinks, and dietary allergen charts cleanly. Customers keep DL menus in kitchen drawers and fridge organizers for quick ordering.
💇 Salon & Spa Treatment Menus
Aesthetic clinics and hair salons love the sleek, handbag-friendly DL shape for treatment price lists, loyalty discount cards, and aftercare instruction guides that clients take home.

How to Prepare Your Artwork
To ensure the highest quality print, please supply your artwork in PDF format. We recommend saving your files with the 'High Quality Print' preset. Here are a few essential tips for the perfect print:
- Bleed Area: Please include a minimum of 3mm bleed on all edges of your design. This ensures no white borders are left when we trim your product to the final size.
- Safe Zone: Keep all important text, contact details, and logos at least 3mm away from the trim edge.
- Resolution: All images and graphics should be supplied at 300dpi (dots per inch) for crisp, clear, and professional results.
- Colour Mode: Convert all RGB and spot colours to CMYK format before exporting your file to avoid unexpected colour shifts.
Understanding Paper Stocks & Finishes
Choosing the right paper stock can dramatically change the feel of your product. Here is a quick guide to our most popular options:
- Silk / Uncoated: A natural, non-reflective finish that is highly readable and easy to write on. Perfect for letterheads, forms, and elegant brochures.
- Gloss: A shiny coating that makes colours pop and images look incredibly vibrant. Ideal for flyers, posters, and photograph-heavy designs.
- Matt Lamination: A smooth, sleek finish that dulls reflections and adds a premium, tactile feel to business cards and luxury presentation folders.
- Spot UV & Foil: For maximum visual impact, add a glossy raised layer or metallic foil to specific parts of your design to draw the eye instantly.
