Welcome to the Printing Partners Interactive Folding Guide. Use the Pull Down Menu to select the type of fold you are using, the panel size calculator will appear. You must enter the flat size width of your piece, click on the "Calculate" button and you will be shown the panel sizes for your layout. The height of your piece will not effect the panel sizes. For a printable version of this guide, you can download the PDF file. To see an animated demonstration of how the fold goes together, move and hold your mouse over the fold graphic on the right.
Our folding guide has different specifications for Cover Weight Paper and Text Weight Paper. Please select the correct type of folding calculation for the paper you are working with. If you are unsure what type of paper you are going to print on, it is best to use the Cover Weight calculations. Text Weight Folds typically have tighter tolerances because you don't have to allow for the thickness of the paper. Cover Weight Folds take into account that the paper is thicker and so more space is figured into the folding panel size.
