What are the folding methods for folding and printing?

Promotional leaflets, like book bindings, have both complete covers and complete contents, which are self-contained, so that merchants and consumers can't put them down. Compared with the single page, the display content of the propaganda page is richer, and the folding page is more environmentally friendly than the brochure. The advantages and characteristics of folding are due to its folding method, in this regard, the common folding methods of folding are summarized by Biyin Bazaar Network for your reference.
Promotional leaflets are a more common type of leaflet printing, but compared with leaflets, there are many kinds of folding methods, and there are relatively many precautions. In order to give you a more comprehensive, intuitive and specific understanding of the folding method of the folding, Biyin Bazaar has summarized and described several common folding methods and displayed them intuitively with pictures.
If the thickness of the folded paper exceeds 0.16mm or the paper after varnishing, it is necessary to do the pressing line before the folding operation can be done to reduce the cracking of the paper, but it is not guaranteed that it will not break after the crimping, and the paper with a thickness of more than 0.25mm can only be folded in half by pressing a line, and can not be folded more times. Sizes of 16K or less make it impossible to make complex folds.
1. Fold in half, that is, fold in half from the middle of the fold according to the center line.

Two, three folds. The length of the fold is evenly divided into three parts, and folded inward along the axis of symmetry, which is the inner three folds, also known as the core fold; In the same way, folding outward along the axis of symmetry is called an outer trifold, also called a Z-fold or parallel fold.

3. Fold in half (four-fold), also known as double folding. It is enough to repeat the steps of the single half fold twice.

Fourth, the organ fold, similar to the folding method of a fan, because it resembles an organ and is named, also known as a parallel fold. Each crease is parallel to each other, and the folding direction determined by two adjacent creases is exactly the opposite. Usually within six pages, the common organ folds are 3 folds, 4 folds, 5 folds, 6 folds, 7 folds, etc., and there are more than 12 folds, but the more folds, the more losses, which must be noted.

Fifth, the door is closed, and it generally becomes the door fold, which is symmetrical. The paper is folded in half from the left and right sides to the center, and the creases are parallel to each other, like two closed doors.

6. Reel folding, containing 4 or more pages, is successively folded inward, so the width of the page must be gradually increased to make it easier to fold.
Seventh, the cross fold, is the first left and right folding, and then vertical folding, after opening the cross line can be seen, so it is called a cross fold. Cross folds are also divided into 2-fold crosses, 3-folds and 4-folds crosses.
