What is this format? What is a Concertina Zine?

A concertina zine (or accordion-fold zine) is made from a single strip of paper folded back and forth into connected panels. Named after the concertina instrument, it can be read page by page like a booklet or unfolded into one continuous strip.

Unlike a traditional pamphlet, where a single sheet is folded in on itself to create nested pages, a concertina is folded back and forth in alternating directions to form a continuous chain of panels. This 8-panel A6 portrait format (four panels per side) offers more pages and greater layout flexibility while still using just one sheet of paper.
