Question
What is the difference between finished size and flat size?
Answer
Flat size is the full dimension of the sheet before any folding, while finished size is what you hold after folding or assembly is done.
| Term | Meaning | Tri-fold brochure example |
|---|---|---|
| Flat size | The unfolded sheet | The large open sheet |
| Finished size | After folding or assembly | The slim, folded panel |
Set up your artwork at the flat size, then account for the fold lines so panels align at the finished size.
