pamphlets
Folded paper handouts
Pamphlets is the plural of pamphlet, a small unbound booklet or leaflet, typically covering a single topic.
Pamphlets have historically served political, religious, and educational purposes—distributed to spread ideas cheaply and widely: Revolutionary pamphlets circulated through the colonies.
Today the word often suggests informational brochures: The doctor's office had pamphlets on diabetes.
