What we love about this newsprint example:
This scored and folded map for the Flatiron Nomad Partnership is a practical and visually appealing piece. When unfolded, it reveals a generous 24″ x 18″ layout, providing ample space for detailed information and graphics. Once folded, it becomes a compact 4″ x 9″, making it easy to carry and handle.
Printed on 80# gloss text paper, the map offers a high-quality, shiny finish that enhances both durability and aesthetics. The addition of an aqueous coating further protects the map, giving it a sleek, professional look while ensuring it can withstand regular use.

Production notes for scored neighborhood maps
Folded maps need accurate scoring and a clear information hierarchy, especially when they move from a large flat sheet into a pocket-sized guide. This Flatiron Nomad map opens to 24 x 18 and folds down to 4 x 9, giving visitors detail without making the piece hard to carry.
For similar district, campus, and event maps, we review flat size, folded size, panel order, coating, paper weight, fold tolerance, and whether the map will be displayed, mailed, or handed out outdoors. Those checks help the map stay legible after repeated folding and handling.
