Question

What is an Accordian Fold?

Answer

An accordion fold is made by bending each fold in the opposite direction of the previous fold, creating a pleated or accordion effect. The sheet expands and collapses like the bellows of an accordion, with each panel flipping the opposite way from the one before.

  • Alternating folds: every crease reverses direction, producing a zig-zag of panels.
  • Flexible panel count: can hold four, six, eight, or more equal panels.
  • Opens fully flat: the whole piece pulls open in one motion for easy reading.
  • Good for: brochures, foldout guides, and timelines.
