Gate-Fold Brochures
Gate-fold brochures create a dramatic first impression with their distinctive double-door opening. Two panels fold inward to meet at the centre, and when opened, they reveal a wide interior spread — perfect for product launches, luxury brand presentations, event invitations, and any marketing that demands a "wow" moment.
At Perklets Print, we produce premium gate-fold brochures with precision folding and high-quality finishing. The gate-fold format naturally creates a sense of anticipation and discovery, making it the preferred choice for brands that want their marketing materials to deliver an experience, not just information.
The interior spread of a gate-fold brochure offers a wide, uninterrupted canvas for hero imagery, panoramic photography, or detailed infographics. Combined with premium paper stocks and luxury finishes like soft-touch lamination or spot UV, a gate-fold brochure becomes a memorable piece of marketing.

FAQs: Gate-Fold Brochures
What is a gate-fold brochure?
A gate-fold brochure has two panels that fold inward to meet at the centre, like double doors. Opening the "gates" reveals a wide interior spread, creating a dramatic reveal effect that is perfect for premium marketing.
What is gate-fold best used for?
Gate-folds are ideal for luxury brand presentations, product launches, event invitations, corporate portfolios, and any marketing piece where you want to create a sense of anticipation and visual impact.
Is gate-fold more expensive than tri-fold?
Gate-fold typically costs slightly more due to the additional folding precision required and the heavier paper stocks recommended. However, the premium impression it creates often justifies the investment for high-value marketing.
What paper weight do you recommend for gate-fold?
We recommend 200 GSM minimum for gate-fold brochures. The heavier stock ensures the gate panels hold their shape and create a satisfying opening experience. 300 GSM with soft-touch lamination is our premium recommendation.
