Question
Does the fold type affect the brochure dimensions I should use?
Answer
The fold does not change your flat sheet size, but it absolutely changes your panel dimensions. Two brochures printed on the same 8.5 x 11 sheet will have very different working panels depending on how they fold.
| Fold | Panel width on 8.5 x 11 |
|---|---|
| Tri-fold | About 3.67 inches |
| Bi-fold | About 5.5 inches |
On a tri-fold, make the inner tuck-in panel 1/16 to 1/8 inch narrower so it folds cleanly without buckling.
