DL Flyer, Trifold Flyers

Setting up your DL or trifold flyer correctly ensures clean folds, accurate trimming, and professional results. Whether you are printing takeaway menus, service brochures, church leaflets, or business promotions, proper file setup prevents costly mistakes and delays.

---

1. File Format – Submit as Print-Ready PDF

Please supply artwork as:

• PDF to Print

• High resolution

• Correct final size

• Flattened file

PDF format preserves fonts, spacing, and layout exactly as designed.

---

IMPORTANT – Your PDF Must Be FLAT

Your PDF file must be flattened (FLAT) before submission.

A flat PDF means:

• No editable layers

• No live transparency

• No hidden elements

• All graphics merged properly

This avoids shifting panels, fold misalignment, and printing errors.

DL Flyer File Setup

Standard DL Size:

99 × 210 mm

With 3 mm Bleed:

105 × 216 mm

If your design has background colour or images touching the edge, always add 3 mm bleed on all sides.

---

Trifold Flyer File Setup

Trifold flyers are usually printed flat and folded into three panels.

---

A4 Trifold (Most Popular)

Flat size: 210 × 297 mm
Finished folded size: DL (99 × 210 mm)

Important Panel Setup

For a roll fold trifold, one inside panel must be slightly smaller to fold correctly.

Typical panel widths:

• Panel 1: 99 mm

• Panel 2: 99 mm

• Panel 3 (inside fold panel): 98 mm

This prevents buckling and ensures smooth folding.

---

Z-Fold (Accordion Fold)

For Z-fold leaflets, all three panels are equal:

• 99 mm each for A4 trifold

Z-fold does not require a narrower panel.

---

Bleed Setup

Always include:

• 3 mm bleed on all edges

Example:
A4 flat size: 210 × 297 mm
With bleed: 216 × 303 mm

This prevents white edges after trimming.

---

Safe Margins

Keep important text at least:

• 5 mm from trim edge

• 8–10 mm away from fold lines

Do NOT place:

• Phone numbers

• Prices

• Important headings

• Logos

Directly on fold lines.

---

Image Resolution (DPI)

For professional quality:

• 300 DPI recommended

• Minimum 150 DPI

• Below 150 DPI may appear blurry

This is especially important for takeaway menus with food images and promotional brochures.

---

Colour Mode

For best printing results:

• Use CMYK colour mode

• Avoid neon RGB colours

• Expect slight screen-to-print variation

---

Final Artwork Checklist

Before submitting:

• PDF Print format

• File is FLAT

• Correct flat size

• 3 mm bleed added

• Panels correctly sized

• Fold positions considered

• Safe margins applied

• 300 DPI images
