Paper Folding
Flyers, brochures, menus and letters all need folding before they go out, and folding by hand is slow and never quite straight. Colorbourne Graphics runs a dedicated folding service for printed paper up to 150 gsm, on sheets up to SRA3, for Melbourne businesses and other printers.
Folds we do
- Single fold (half fold)
- Roll fold and Z fold for DL brochures and menus
- Double parallel fold
- Gate fold and fold-out
We fold offset, coated, art and digitally printed papers.
Folding questions
What is the heaviest paper you can fold?
150 gsm. Anything heavier needs a crease along the fold line first, otherwise the print cracks and the fold looks rough. We can crease and then fold the same job.
How should I set up artwork for a folded brochure?
Design to the flat size with the fold lines marked on a separate layer, and keep text a few millimetres away from each fold. For a roll fold, the panel that folds inside is made slightly narrower so it tucks in flat. Ask us for the panel sizes before you design.
How to order
Call 1300 722 583 or email sales@colorbourne.com.au with the finished size, the quantity and the paper you are using, and we will quote before any work starts.
