A4 to DL Flyers
The A4 to DL flyer takes a standard A4 sheet and folds it into thirds to produce a slim DL-sized leaflet (99mm x 210mm). This is one of the most widely used folded formats in marketing because the finished piece fits perfectly into DL envelopes, sits neatly in brochure holders, and feels satisfying to hold and unfold.
With six panels of content — three on each side — the A4 to DL format gives you a logical storytelling structure: an eye-catching front cover, a full inner spread for detailed content, and a back panel for contact details or a call to action. This format is used extensively for restaurant menus, service brochures, event guides, company profiles, and direct mail campaigns.
At Perklets Print, we print A4 to DL flyers on 130 GSM to 250 GSM coated stock with precise machine scoring and folding. Each panel aligns perfectly so your design flows seamlessly from panel to panel. Available with gloss or matte lamination for a professional, long-lasting finish.

FAQs: A4 to DL Flyers
What is an A4 to DL flyer?
An A4 sheet (210mm x 297mm) folded twice — once at 70mm and once at 140mm — to produce a slim DL leaflet (99mm x 210mm) with six content panels.
What fold style does the A4 to DL use?
The standard A4 to DL uses a letter fold (also called a C-fold or tri-fold): the left panel folds in first, then the right panel folds over it. This is the most common format for brochures and menus.
How many panels does an A4 to DL flyer have?
Six panels total — three on the front side and three on the reverse. This gives you a front cover, two inner spread panels, a back cover, and two inside flap panels for a complete storytelling flow.
Will my design work with the fold lines?
Yes, as long as you supply artwork with the fold lines at the correct positions (70mm and 140mm from the left edge). We recommend keeping important content like logos and headlines away from the fold lines.
Is this the same as a trifold brochure?
Essentially yes — the fold structure is identical to a standard trifold brochure. The difference is that flyers use lighter paper stock (130–170 GSM) compared to brochures which typically use heavier stocks.
