Z Fold Card FAQs

What is a Z card? A Z fold card is a pamphlet, ergonomically folded to fit into the shape of a business card or small flyer. As such, they are ideal for uses requiring a lot of information but a small storage space, for example: maps, event information, codes of conduct, voucher booklets etc. These fancy folded cards can be used for just about anything!

A Z cards is known by many monikers, including pocketfold card, fit and fold card and map card.

  • A folded card with one row of pages is often referred to as a concertina fold card, or pocket fold card.
  • A card with 2 rows of pages is sometimes called a kfold card, double z card or map card, due to its common usage.
  • A card with 3 rows of pages is most commonly referred to as a Z fold
  • A card with 4 rows of pages is called either a zFold, double z card, W fold or multifold. 

Due to the wide range of names for this product, we prefer to list by number of rows, to ensure clarity. When ordering your Z card design, please ensure you have the correct number of rows. 

We use 80gsm matt and gloss stock for the inner pages as standard, but have a whole variety of paper options available, including recycled and uncoated.
If you choose to have a heavier-duty cover for your Z fold card, we tend to use 350gsm matt or gloss stock as standard, but again offer a wide range of different options. Take a look at the ‘materials’ sections of the homepage for more details.

A concertina fold consists of one row of pages, folded laterally into a small shape. Concertina folding is therefore only in one direction.

A K fold offers two rows of pages, so must be folded vertically and horizontally to fit into its compact state: a k card is folded in two directions. K printing is popular for informational documents, programmes, az printing and small maps.
