Folds/Folded Leaflet Guide

A) Tent Fold

The printed sheet is simply folded in half horizontally. This creates 4 pages, front-cover, back-cover and two internal pages. Another example of this would be a place name.

B) Roll Fold

The printed sheet is creased twice to give 6 pages. The right-hand panel is normally trimmed 2mm smaller depending on paper weight to allow it to be folded neatly into the two larger pages. An example of this is a normal utility bill, which is A4 folded to 1/3 A4.

C) Z Fold

A 'Z' fold is creased two times. This creates 6 equally sized pages. An example would be a folded leaflet.

D) Gate Fold

The printed sheet is creased twice to give 6 pages. The right and left pages are half the size of the centre page. They fold inward to meet the middle of the page. An example of this is a wedding invitation.

E) Half Fold

The printed sheet is simply folded in half vertically. This creates 4 pages, front-cover, back-cover and two internal pages. An example of this is a birthday card.
