  • Tri folds how many different ways/

    #1
    I was wondering how many ways can one fold a 3 panel brochure?
    Also how would the printers know what kind of fold you want?

  • #2
    ive heard you can't fold a piece of paper more then 7 times. but ive only been doing this for 8 years or so (about 2 less then you) and i still haven't figured it out

    good luck though! let me know how it works out!

      I just did a few different tri-folds for some clients. The only way I know how to have the printer know which way to fold it, is to print out a copy, fold it, and then drop it off or mail it to the printer. It's hard if your printer is far away, so I would also suggest folding a physical copy, and then photographing it, and send the printer a JPEG. Although, maybe there are simpler solutions.

        Generally speaking, a tri-fold is an inner fold... otherwize it would be a z fold

              Isn't a c-fold like a "open gate fold", two outer panels folding in, leaving the center flat not folded?

                yeah that sounds right.

                Actually no its bascially your standard letter fold. (right panel folded in, front panel folded on top)

                    Like a #10 fold, I call that a roll fold.
