Types of Folds
Folding options for your job will vary based on paper type and sheet size.- Half fold (horizontal or vertical)—One fold in the center of the page. Finished size is half of sheet.
- Tri-fold/Letter fold—This is the most common for a tri-fold brochure. Two overlapping inward facing folds are made to create a brochure.
- Z fold—Two overlapping folds are made in opposite directions (one inward and one outward). The final product forms a shape that resembles the letter Z.
- Gate fold—This uses two parallel folds to create six panels, three panels on each side of the paper. The side panels are roughly half the width of the center panel and fold inward to meet in the middle without overlapping.
- Double gate fold—Same layout as a gate fold, but with an additional fold in the center of the back panel. Basically, a standard gate fold, folded in half.
Collate—Gathering and arranging of individual sheets or other printed components into a predetermined sequence. For example, if you print two copies of a three-page document and you choose not to collate them, the pages print in this order: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3. If you choose to collate, the pages print in this order: 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3.
Simplex/Duplex—Refers to whether your prints will be one-sided or two-sided.

All artwork should be set up with a minimum inner margin of .25” on all sides to ensure that none of your content is cut off.
"Bleed" refers to printing that goes beyond the edge of the sheet before trimming. In other words, the bleed is the area to be trimmed off.
If you would like your artwork to run off the edge of your print, your document must be set up with a bleed.
Artwork for a booklet should be set up as:
Individual Pages— Consecutive placement of pages by page numbers in multiples of 4 (add blank page). This kind of set-up will require the printer to impose your document. A proof copy is suggested to ensure proper layout.
For a comb-bound booklet, your page count must be divisible by 2 to avoid any blank pages.
Lamination—Our standard laminate is 3mil semigloss. Remember, that when laminating a document, the final size will be an additional .25” on each side of the printed piece. If you are looking for a specific finish size, please notify us when entering your order.
Hole Drilling—Most common set-up is either a 3-hole punch on the 11” side of a letter size document or two holes on the top edge. If you are requesting custom hole drilling, please contact us when entering your order.
