What is a Closed Gate Fold?

A closed gate fold is a panel fold where the two outside panels fold inward to meet in the center, like a pair of gates or double doors closing. When shut, the panels meet at the middle and cover the interior spread.

• The gate action: left and right panels fold in toward the center line.
• Panels meet, not overlap: the two outer flaps close up to the center without crossing over each other.
• Reveal effect: opening both flaps unveils a wide inside spread, which adds a sense of occasion.
• Good for: premium brochures, invitations, and presentations.
