Unique fold, engaging result

Whether you’re in retail, real estate or restaurants, brochures are a tried-and-true marketing tool for small businesses. And if you’re looking for an extra edge, Z-fold brochures stand out in the crowd. They’re made of 8.5″ x 11″ paper (in your choice of 4, high-quality materials) that’s folded twice into a zigzag. The result? A Z-shaped pamphlet, and a whole lot of advertising possibilities.

6 customizable sections

Z-fold pamphlets feature sharp, full-color printing across 6 designable surfaces. Because of the way they fold, some people choose to spread images and graphics across more than one page. That way, when customers open them, they’ll see one continuous, engaging spread. You can check out our gallery of templates for inspiration, or jump right in to start designing yours.

Easy to design, help standing by

To start creating, pick a paper stock and thickness, then explore our template gallery. You can also upload your own design if you have one ready to go, just be sure you’ve positioned the front, back and inside panels according to the Z-fold style. Of course, contact our 24-hour customer care team if you ever get stuck. We’re always glad to help.

VistaPrint offers Z-Fold Brochures design templates in assorted styles.

We are a small certified organic farm and we come to vistaprint each shipping season to provide us with all our product information that we include in our boxes. We also on occasion need to make adjustments to the content and vista print is always so helpful in assisting us in those changes. We will be coming back each season.

I recently ordered a custom batch of glossy business cards from VistaPrint, and I could not be happier with how they turned out! From start to finish, the design process on the website was incredibly easy and intuitive. I was able to customize my layout, ensure all my text and QR codes were positioned within the safety margins, and preview the final look before ordering. When the box arrived, the print quality completely exceeded my expectations: Vibrant Colors & Crisp Text: The print resolution is pin-sharp. Even small details and text are crystal clear, and the colors pop off the card exactly as they looked on my screen. Premium Gloss Finish: The glossy coating gives the cards an exceptionally sleek, professional sheen that immediately catches the light and grabs attention. Durable Stock: The cardstock feels sturdy, premium, and thick—definitely not flimsy. They hold up amazingly well in pockets and cardholders without bending or wearing down easily. Every time I hand one of these cards to a prospective client, it leaves an instant, polished first impression that sets the right tone for my brand. VistaPrint delivered outstanding quality, fast shipping, and exceptional value as always. If you are looking to elevate your business presence with high-impact cards that truly stand out, I highly recommend VistaPrint's glossy business cards!

Frequently asked questions

The biggest difference between Z-fold and tri-fold brochures is the way they’re folded. Z-fold brochures form a zigzag, while the two outer flaps of a tri-fold brochure fold in on each other. Both have 3 panels and offer 6 designable surfaces, but we have more sizes available for tri-fold brochures.

Accordion brochures fold in alternating directions, and usually have multiple flaps. They’re the type of format you usually see with instruction manuals. In contrast, our Z-fold brochures have 3 panels, creating a zigzag, and are more common for marketing materials.

Yes, your Z-fold brochures will arrive pre-folded.

No, our Z-fold brochure printing process involves folding, but we also have flyers if you’re looking for an unfolded option.

When folded, Z-fold brochures are similar to any other brochure, offering a compact structure with a visually engaging front panel. However, unlike other brochures, they’re typically opened all at once, offering a larger, more seamless view of the front and back of your design.

Yes, we have clear plastic brochure holders made to fit our Z-fold brochures. You can add them to your cart during the checkout process, just be sure you pick the smaller of the 2 sizes, 4.3" x 7.7".
