Folding your brochure.
The most common folds are – short fold, letter fold, and z-fold. Please note that not all folds might be available at your print shop. Contact your printer first.

*Panel sizes are approximate. To allow the panels to nest inside each other properly, the inside panels are usually 1/32" to 1/8" narrower than the outer panels.

 
If you are going to print your brochure by yourself, you can fold it by hand in any way you like. For brochures distributed by mail you have to take into account that folded brochure should fit in to standard size envelope. But if you plan to hand out brochures or leave them on the advertisement stand you can combine unusual folding with dye cutting and get some eye-catching results.
