Question

What file setup should I use for a tri-fold or multi-panel brochure?

Answer

For a tri-fold or other multi-panel brochure, the most important thing is telling us how the piece folds so the panels print and crease in the right order.

  • Clearly identify which panels are the outside and which are the inside in your file submission.
  • Note the fold type, since a tri-fold, a double parallel fold, and a Z-fold each impose differently.
  • If you are unsure of the fold structure, mark up your PDF to show where each crease falls.
  • Keep key content inside each panel, clear of the fold lines.

Sending marked files up front helps the brochure print and fold exactly as you intend.
