Here is how to choose the best tyoe of folding for your menu:

Half-fold

The simplest of all paper fold types, the half fold consists of a single piece of paper folded down the middle to create two equal halves.

Brochure

Another simple folding type: the sheet is divided in half and supports the insertion of a coverpage and back cover. The menu pages are flipped to facilitate double-sided printing.

Trifold

In the triple fold, the sheet is divided into 3 equal parts. There are two types of triple fold to choose from:

1: Roll-fold

In the roll-fold, the menu is folded twice in the same direction, inwards.

2

In the Z-fold, the menu is also divided into 3 equal parts, but the fold is made in opposite directions.

4-panel fold

The 4-Panel Fold is a form of parallel folding in which eight pages are created by halving a folded sheet twice in the same direction.
