Perfect for projects like Menus, Newsletters and Promotional Material - you can print your own custom sizes and choose from a range of folding options, including tri-fold and z-folded Leaflets. Plus, our easy reordering process means you can order prints at the click of a button - saving you time, money and effort.
Non-account holders can place orders, but we recommend creating a free Mixam account and signing in. Select an item from the categories at the top of the website, and choose your print specifications, free quote and estimated delivery date via the Instant Quote Calculator. Click Add to Cart, then Continue, and upload your files to your Artwork tab. Visit our How To Print With Mixam Support Page for more information.
You can create artwork by hand, scan it or photograph it and upload images to your desktop. You can also use graphic design programs like Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Canva, or Affinity Publisher. To ensure print-ready files before upload, download Our Instant Quote Calculator's downloadable PDF templates to lay out your designs. Alternatively, click the Design Online Tool to create artwork in your order (visit our Support Page for more information).
Bleed is an extension of artwork or colour(s) to minimise unprinted edges appearing when we cut your prints to size. Most items require a 3mm bleed, including Flat items and the inner pages and covers on Bound and Paperback items. You don’t need to include bleed if no artwork or colour(s) meet the page edges. Visit our Bleed Support Page or contact our team for help.
Start a pending order by adding a quote to your Cart and clicking Continue. Please label your files clearly before uploading with names like Page_1, Page_2, etc., so our system can place your files chronologically. Drag and drop files from your desktop or upload them from your computer, online file-sharing accounts like Dropbox, or a web URL. You can upload single and multi-page files to orders. Visit our Print File Setup Guide for more information.
You can upload many file types, and we’ll convert them into high-quality PDFs. You can submit them as single, double, or individual files. Ensure your files are in CMYK colour mode before uploading. Visit our Colour Guide for Printing and File Formats Support Page to view the complete list of accepted file types.
A multi-piece shipment refers to a single order containing multiple items. Once you add your first quote to your Shopping Cart, you can repeat the process for the same item or add a quote for another item via the categories at the top of the website. You can then upload your files to each item in one order.
Once you’ve uploaded files in your order’s Artwork tab, you can preview them via Thumbnails, an Online Preview and Downloadable Proof. Mixam’s automatic file checker will scan your files, but please also check all files manually, especially your Downloadable Proof, to review and fix issues before we send your order to production. Visit our Proofing Support Page for more information, and contact our print experts by chat, email or phone for assistance.
The cut-off time for confirmed orders is 4 pm GMT every workday. It would help to confirm your order before these times to secure your estimated delivery date. Unconfirmed orders may mean you receive a new estimated delivery date. Visit our Shipping and Delivery Support Page for more information.
We aim to get your order to you by or on the estimated date you choose on our Instant Quote Calculator. While all delivery dates are not guaranteed, we’ll inform you at the earliest opportunity if a delay occurs. Visit our Shipping and Delivery Support Page for more information, and contact our team in advance if you have a deadline, and we’ll try to accommodate.
You can familiarise yourself with our quality, products and paper stocks by ordering free printed samples here. You can also create a test print before placing a larger order by ordering one copy via our Instant Quote Calculator. Please note that delivery can take longer depending on your location, but you can contact our team if you have any questions.
Lamination means applying a transparent plastic coating on top of prints to preserve, protect and enhance aesthetics. All laminations and finishes can affect the final appearance of printed colours, but each minimises issues like marking, ink transferral, smudging, creasing, fading, wrinkling, abrasion and tearing. Please note we cannot laminate Uncoated and Recycled Paper stocks. Visit Our Print Finishes Support Page for more information.
Folded Leaflets will arrive folded except for the Business Card size, which will arrive unfolded. We'll carefully crease them on the fold line and bend them to form panels.

How To Upload Your Files
- To ensure high-quality print files, we'll convert your files to PDFs, no matter which file type you upload. We accept single pages, double pages or individual files. Visit our File Formats Support Page to learn how to submit your files.
Important
- You can supply your files as individual panels or one single spread. Please clearly label your files so our system can place them in the correct position, and add a 3mm quiet area on both sides of the fold line before uploading.
Folding
- You can choose from several creative and eye-catching folding options on our Instant Quote Calculator.
Bleed
- Bleed is the area surrounding your print’s trim size, extending an image or colour beyond the finished trim size. Add a 3mm bleed to every print file before uploading them to your Artwork Dashboard. Avoid placing any important content within the bleed area. You don't need to include bleed if your pages are blank (i.e. no images/graphics meet the edge of your page). Visit our Bleed Setup Support Page to learn more about bleed, trim lines and gutter areas.
Lamination
- We strongly advise that you add a lamination to prints containing areas with dark colours. Lamination increases a print's lifespan and enhances printed colours. It also minimises ink transfer and scuffing. Paper weights of 170gsm or higher can be laminated, and lighter paper will curl. Visit our Print File Checklist Support Page for more information.
Half Fold
A Half (Single) Fold is a simple and effective option for a variety of projects where content is uncompromised by the fold. Prints are folded once along the middle to create 4 printed panels - a front cover, a back cover, and two internal panels.
Roll Fold
The Roll (Letter) Fold is an easy way to display large quantities of text and graphics. It easily separates information into equal folded panels for digestible reading experiences. We fold prints twice to produce 3 sections and 6 printed panels.
Z-Fold
The Z-fold, or Concertina Fold, is perfect for splitting up large quantities of information. It can help split content across equal panels or one page when fully open, making it a versatile folding option. We fold prints twice to resemble a 'Z' shape to create 3 sections with 6 printed panels.
Gate Fold
The Gate Fold means we fold prints twice, once from both ends of the print inwards. Both folds meet equally in the middle without overlapping to resemble a gate. The large central panel appears when the two smaller outer panels open, making this ideal for promotional or graphic-heavy projects.
Cross Fold
The Cross Fold is ideal for print work like Posters, Maps or Infographics. It's a convenient size when folded and can fold both ways to provide more printed panels and visual impact. We fold prints in half, then half again to create 4 sections with 8 printed panels.
Double-Parallel Fold
The Double Parallel Fold lets you display extensive information in a simple format. We fold prints in the middle before folding them twice again to produce up to 6 sections.
