LOTS TO SAY BUT IN A MIGHTY SMALL BROCHURE

Have you got plenty to talk about but it needs to be contained? In other words, your message cannot be communicated in just a few sentences. The way the Z cards fold down allows a really nice story to be told in an interesting format. Z Cards are so dinky that users are more likely to keep the communication piece by using a concertina card style. Therefore, as marketing material, it tends to have better longevity compared to some brochures and leaflets.

Paper sizes – deciding on the size

Z CARDS

Also referred to sometimes as a map fold or concertina fold, this folding method normally  has 2 parallel horizontal folds and several vertical folds to produce panels of equal size. The horizontal folds are made in opposite directions creating the Z effect. This example is one continuous strip with brochure covers, business card size, attached either end.

POP IT IN YOUR WALLET

Folding down to the size of a credit card, these Z Cards can easily be kept rather than discarded. In addition, we recommend using a protective laminate on the outer cards to increase longevity. For instance, if the Z Card is a list of emergency numbers or a strict procedure, then durability is the key.
