Leaflet Printing Cornwall

A folded flyer remains one of the most effective ways to get a message in front of customers. It holds more information than a flat sheet while remaining compact enough for menus, brochures, product information and marketing campaigns.

Specialist Print has been supplying leaflet printing Cornwall businesses trust for over 12 years, working from our base in Saltash to serve Truro, Falmouth, Newquay, St Austell, Penzance and beyond.

From simple menus to multi-panel brochures, our friendly team can help you find the right format for your project.

Folded Print for Menus, Brochures and Promotional Campaigns

A folded format gives you more space to tell your story without the bulk of a full booklet. Flyers, leaflets and brochures across our range are used for:

• Menus – Folded menus are easy to handle and can sit neatly on a table, making them a practical option for restaurants, cafés and takeaways.
• Brochures – Use multiple panels to introduce your services or give customers a clearer overview of what you offer.
• Product information – Folding lets you include more detailed content without making the finished piece feel oversized, which works well for instructions and product guides.
• Marketing campaigns – Folded leaflets can give a promotional message more room to breathe, whether they are handed out at an event or included in a direct mail campaign.

Our leaflet printing services in Cornwall range includes simple central folds through to more creative, multi-panel formats, so the print can match however much you need to say. If your business also relies on fine art prints, we can produce them as part of the same order to keep everything consistent.

The right fold depends on how much content you have and how the finished piece will be used. A few of the most common options:

• Half fold (single fold) – An A4 sheet folded down the middle creates a compact A5 leaflet. It is a straightforward option for menus and simple brochures.
• Tri-fold (letter fold) – Three panels give you a clear way to separate information. It works particularly well when you have several sections to present but want to keep the finished piece compact.
• Gate fold – The outer panels fold towards the centre, creating a reveal when the leaflet is opened. This gives the finished piece a more distinctive feel and can work well for a premium presentation.
• Cross fold and concertina – These formats create several panels within a relatively small finished piece. They are useful when you have a lot of information to fit into one leaflet without making it bulky.

Our 130gsm stocks are folded, while the heavier 170gsm stocks are creased before folding, which protects the ink and gives a smoother crease on thicker paper. If you're not sure which fold fits your content, send over a rough draft, and our team will suggest the layout that gives the best results.

Paper Types and Finishes

Paper stock and finish do as much for a finished piece as the fold. We offer a range of paper types to suit different budgets and brand looks, from lightweight 130gsm through to heavier 300gsm card stocks, all from FSC-certified sources.

• Silk paper – A smooth, low-sheen finish that works well for photography and text-heavy brochures
• Gloss – A shiny finish that makes colours pop, good for product flyers that need to attract attention
• Uncoated paper – Our uncoated paper offers a natural, matte feel, often chosen for a more understated, premium look

For extra durability, we can laminate your leaflets with a gloss or matt finish. If you want to highlight a particular part of the design, spot UV adds a subtle raised effect to selected areas.

These finishing touches are especially popular for product brochures and campaigns aimed at a higher-end audience. Our experienced staff can advise on which combination will enhance your design rather than fight it.

Sizes and Artwork Specifications

Getting the size and file right the first time saves reprints and keeps your project on schedule.

For artwork, please upload a print-ready PDF in CMYK. Files should be at least 300dpi, include 3mm bleed on all edges, and have fonts embedded or outlined.

For creased leaflets, send your artwork as a two-page, double-sided PDF. For example, if an A4 sheet is folded to A5, page one should show pages 4 and 1, while page two should show pages 2 and 3.

If the crease runs horizontally, keep the front and back on the same page. The front should be in the correct orientation, while the back should be rotated 180 degrees. Follow the same setup for the inside pages so everything lines up correctly when folded.

We recommend creating a mock-up before submitting your final artwork. Our team can also check the bleed, resolution and colour of your file so that everything prints as expected.

How to Order Your Print Run

Ordering is designed to be simple, even if it's your first time working with a print supplier:

1. Choose your format. Pick your fold, size, paper stock and finish from the range, or ask our team for a recommendation.
2. Upload your artwork. Send us a print-ready PDF, or let us know if you need design support.
3. We check it over. Every file gets a free artwork check for bleed, resolution and colour before it goes to print.
4. We print and inspect. Your job is printed and checked by our team before it leaves us.
5. Free UK delivery. Your order is tracked from dispatch through to your door.

Most standard jobs are dispatched within a few working days. If you're working to a tighter deadline, our express range covers folded, digital and litho options with a faster turnaround, so let us know your date and we'll confirm what's achievable.

Pricing and Quantities

Cost depends on a combination of quantity, paper weight and finishing options, so no two print runs cost quite the same. As a rough guide, pricing for a small batch of folded or flat items typically starts from around £36 to £45, with the unit cost falling as the quantity increases.

Heavier paper stocks, laminated finishes and extras like spot UV or foil will add to the price, so it's worth deciding early on which finishing touches actually matter for your campaign and which are nice to have.

If your budget is tight, printing in a slightly larger batch is usually the most cost-effective solution, since the price per copy drops significantly at higher volumes. Some customers also print several versions of the same format, which keeps unit costs down compared to running each version separately.

Distribution Tips for Cornwall Businesses

Printing a good batch is only half the job. A few things to bear in mind when planning how to get your flyers, leaflets and brochures in front of people across Cornwall:

• Target locations where your audience already spends time, such as cafes, community noticeboards, tourist information points or events
• Keep a stock of business cards alongside your main print run, since customers often want something smaller to pocket
• Refresh your design seasonally if you're targeting the tourist trade, since Cornwall sees a big shift in footfall between summer and winter
• Check with your local council before a large-scale door-to-door or street distribution campaign, as some areas of Cornwall require local authority consent for that kind of activity

A well-planned distribution strategy makes a real difference to how much use you get out of a print run, so it's worth spending a little time on where your materials will actually be seen.

Digital Printing, Litho and Large Format Under One Roof

Folded print is only part of Specialist Print's services. Depending on your quantity and timeline, we can produce your job through digital printing for short runs and fast turnaround, or lithographic printing for larger volumes where colour accuracy matters across thousands of copies.

Cornwall has a number of established businesses that offer similar digital and litho services. What sets us apart is having flyers and leaflets, business cards, banners and signage printing all under one roof. We also handle large format printing for anything beyond paper, so you are not sourcing different parts of a campaign from different suppliers.

A Cost-Effective Solution for Every Kind of Business

We work with a wide range of clients across Cornwall, from independent cafes and tradespeople to schools ordering materials for students and events. Whatever the scale of your business, we aim to offer a cost-effective solution that doesn't compromise on quality.

Many customers order flyers alongside business cards or booklets to keep their whole print run consistent and cost-effective. Our team is also happy to advise on quantities that suit your budget without leaving you short.
