Fold Paper for Tri Fold Brochures
Folding paper into a tri fold brochure is a great way to organize lots of information onto a single sheet of paper. This wikiHow article will show you how to do just that.
10 Second Summary
1. Orient the paper horizontally.
2. Fold the left side 1/3 of the way, just past the center.
3. Fold the right side 1/3 of the way, just past the center.
4. Ensure that both sides are equal.
5. Flatten the edges to create creases.
6. Unfold your paper.
Steps
- Hold the paper on the left and right side with both your hands. Make sure though you are holding it on top of a flat surface or on top of a table.
- Fold first 1/3 of the right side of the paper or the left side, whichever you think is most comfortable to you. Folding the right side first is the usual method for brochures. Then fold the 1/3 side halfway of your left-over space. Fold the paper in such a way that you don’t crease over it as shown on the illustration.
- Fold the other side on top of the other. Make sure that each side is folded equally and if not adjust your folds accordingly.
- Check to see if the folds are equal. If you think the sides you have folded are equally balanced and even the spaces on the paper resulting from the fold are equal then press the folded paper. Press the paper with your fingers starting from the top of the paper all the way down.
- Subsequently repeat the previous process of pressing the folds. However this time press the bottom part of the paper toward its upper part.
- Open your folded paper and you have folded a paper into three. Apply this technique to your brochures, invitations and fliers.
