Octavo

Tri-Fold

Tri-Fold

A single sheet folded into a 6-panel brochure or leaflet. Two fold styles are available: C-fold (letter fold) and Z-fold (accordion fold).

Source pages

You need exactly 6 pages. The order maps to the panels of the brochure — Octavo handles the placement so everything ends up in the right position after folding.

Options

Fold style

  • C-Fold — the classic letter fold, where one panel folds inward and then the other folds on top. The inner panel is slightly narrower so it tucks neatly inside.
  • Z-Fold — an accordion fold with three equal-width panels that zigzag back and forth.

Direction

Whether the brochure folds left-to-right or right-to-left.

Equal panel widths

For C-fold only. By default, the three panels have slightly different widths so the inner panel fits neatly inside the fold. Enable this to make all three panels the same width instead.

Panel widths

For C-fold only. You can set a custom width of Panel 1 and Panel 2 numerically; Panel 3 is whatever is left over.

The A4 and US Letter preset buttons set standard panel widths for those paper sizes.
