Folding
The process of bending printed sheets in a specific area so the sheets can then be formed into pamphlets, brochures, booklets or any other type of product requiring this process.
Z Fold
A paper fold represented by back and forth folds into three panels. Z folds generally have 6, 8 or 10 panels but ones with more can be created (in multiples of 2).
Roll Fold
A type of fold where the piece is folded inward at one end and then folded inward again one or more times. It is as if you are rolling the piece up.
Parallel Fold
