The Z folded inner sheet is approximately A4 in size and is printed in 4 colour process on both sides on 80gsm bond paper.

The Little Big Card is a Z Folded Pocket Media Product

Z Folded Cards started the Z folded pocket sized print craze in the early 1990s and the handy-sized product has been popular ever since. The Z Card company has grown to have worldwide coverage with its product and since the original patent ran out it seems that the world and his dog have joined in with their own versions of the product's style. We call our Z folded product the Little Big Card just because it starts off little and opens up to a big size. The product is not unlike a mini map in many ways and whilst it didn't take a genius to come up with the original concept, the original Z Folded Card product development and machinery design by David Bolton in Widnes / Runcorn proved a winner.

Z Folding and variations

The term Z Folded Card derives from the profile of the fold which, at one stage, resembles the letter Z. Many companies have developed Z folding variations such as US outfit, Curveball, who have a website full of folding options. We are not machine folding specialists so we do not want to get involved with anything intricate. We offer two simple Z  folding options - a sheet that is folded 6 times one way and then 3 times the other way, giving 18 small panels or a sheet that is folded 8 times one way and 3 times the other way, giving 24 panels.
