Standards for 8.5" x 11" trifold brochure?

[Matt_M_]

Hi,
I figured that a bunch of the people here have probably done a bunch of brochuresso hopefully someone can help me out with this. I would like to know the standard dimensions for each of the panels, how much space should be between the panels, how far they should be from the edges, etc. Basically how I should set it up in indesign. Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks, Matt

Dimesions and edges, etc, can vary. Check with your printer.

I once did a tabloid size mailer that folded down to 8.5 x 5.5 and didn't check beforehand. The printer was only able to do 10.875 in. high, so I had to reformat.

So I would go ask.

Here's a PDF with the exact measurements. Note this is for standard 20-24lb bond or 80-100lb text stock. If it is printed an heavier stock you will have to add more space for the folds. /emoticons/cool.gif

I love children but I don't think I could eat a whole one.
