★★★★★ Trusted by businesses across Scotland and the UK — read our reviews. Gate Fold Leaflets Gate Fold Leaflets are the only format in this range that has a moment. Two outer panels fold inward and meet in the middle, so the piece opens like a set of doors onto a three-panel spread. People remember opening one. Printed and finished in-house at our Paisley studio, full colour both sides, from 100 to 5,000 copies. We run these on heavier stock than the rest of the range — 170gsm, 250gsm or a substantial 350gsm silk card — so the finished piece feels as considered as it looks. Who is this for? Use it when the reveal is part of the message. The closed piece gives you two half-width panels to pose a question or set up an image; opening it delivers the answer across a full spread. That sequencing is genuinely persuasive when the content earns it — product launches, venue and wedding packages, premium service tiers, portfolios. It is not the format for a price list. If the content would read just as well on a tri-fold, print a tri-fold and spend the difference on paper. How does this compare to our other folded leaflets? For everyday service leaflets, the A4 Tri-Fold is the versatile default and folds to a rack-friendly 99 x 210mm. A4 Folded to A5 gives you the same folded footprint as a gate fold with wide panels for imagery, at lower cost. For heavy content rather than impact, see Multi-Panel DL. Our decision guide compares all seven. --- Product Specifications • Flat Size: 297mm (w) x 210mm (h)• Folded Size: 148.5mm (w) x 210mm (h)• Panels: 3 per side — 6 pages in total• Quantities: 100 to 5,000 copies• Paper options: 170gsm Silk (medium weight) / 250gsm Silk (light card) / 350gsm Silk (heavy card)• Printed full colour, both sides• Front panels open outward like double doors• Scored and folded, all stocks FSC certified• Printed and finished in-house at our Paisley studio --- Need a different paper, size or quantity?

A sheet folded so that the left and right panels turn inward and meet at the centre, like a pair of gates or double doors. Opening them reveals a continuous three-panel spread inside. Because the two door panels must meet without overlapping, each is trimmed marginally under half the sheet width — a detail our template handles. Which paper should I choose? All three options here are silk — a smooth, lightly coated surface with a low sheen that holds colour cleanly without the glare of gloss. The choice is about weight and feel. 170gsm is our lightest gate fold stock and the most economical, with enough body for the doors to hold their shape. 250gsm is a light card and the most popular choice — noticeably more substantial, and the point at which the piece starts to feel premium. 350gsm is a genuine heavy card with real presence; the doors have a satisfying weight to them, and it is the stock to choose when the leaflet is standing in for a brochure. Every stock is FSC certified and scored before folding so the creases stay clean. Our paper stock guide covers the full range, and we're happy to post you samples.

Artwork Requirements Please supply your artwork as a print-ready PDF at flat size — 297mm (w) x 210mm (h), not folded size, as a two page file: page 1 the outside, page 2 the inside. Add 3mm bleed around all edges plus trim marks, and keep critical content at least 5mm inside the trim and clear of the fold lines. Images at 300dpi, colours in CMYK. Note that the two door panels are each marginally under half the sheet width so they meet without overlapping. Please don't impose the file yourself — we handle that.
