Accordion Brochure Round New 5cm Circle Folded No MOQ

Accordion folded leaflets die cut into a circle instead of the usual rectangle, printed in CMYK or Pantone on art paper and folded so the disc opens into a concertina of pages. Text pages run on 105gsm to 250gsm art paper and end pages on 120gsm to 160gsm offset or fancy paper, with matt or glossy lamination, varnish, spot UV, embossing or debossing applied after printing. It is ordered by brands promoting a product where a shaped handout is noticed and kept, and where a standard rectangular leaflet is discarded on the way out.

Key Benefits

What This Product Gives You

  • A circular die cut outline is picked up and kept where a rectangular leaflet in the same stack is not
  • Accordion folding fits a long sequence of panels into a compact handout that opens in one movement
  • Offset printing holds colour consistent across large quantities and digital covers small batches and quick turnarounds
  • Spot UV raises selected elements against a matt laminated surface so a logo catches light on a flat page
  • Text stock from 105gsm to 250gsm lets you set how substantial the leaflet feels at the same page count
  • Die cutting is done in house, so an intricate outline does not need a second supplier or a second lead time

  • A long message does not fit on a flat leaflet without shrinking type past readability

  • Sourcing printing and die cutting separately adds a handoff where the cut drifts off the printed border

Comparison

Compared With the Alternatives

AlternativeHow This Compares
A standard folded rectangular leafletA round accordion piece is kept and shown to others, though a rectangular leaflet costs less and stacks and mails more easily
A saddle stitched bookletAn accordion opens the whole sequence in one movement with no binding, while a booklet holds far more pages in a smaller footprint
Digital printed short runsOffset printing keeps colour consistent across large quantities, but digital is faster and cheaper for a small batch
Use Guide

Getting the Best Result

  • Supply artwork as PDF or AI at 300dpi minimum with fonts outlined and the die line on its own layer
  • Design each panel as a separate page so the fold sequence is unambiguous
  • Keep critical artwork clear of the fold lines, since a heavy fold through text is hard to read
  • Choose matt lamination for a handout read under exhibition lighting to avoid glare
  • Pair spot UV with a matt surface, as the contrast is lost on a gloss laminate
  • Pick digital printing for a small batch and offset once the run is large enough to carry plate cost
