A bi-fold is the simplest fold there is: one crease turns a single sheet into two panels, which gives you four printable sides. It is the classic format behind folded cards and half-fold brochures. One fold, four sides: front and back of two panels, all printable. Common uses: folded greeting cards, menus, programs, and half-fold brochures. Fold with the grain: creasing along the paper grain keeps the fold clean on heavier stock. A bi-fold is also called a half fold: the sheet is creased once at the center, so the two panels are equal.
