Folding Method: Accordion Fold
An Accordion Fold is best used for text and information-heavy designs. It can have 3 or more folds. Pictured below is a four panel accordion fold. A 3 fold accordion fold is also referred to as a Z-fold.
Binding Method: Perfect Bind
Perfect Binding is commonly used for soft cover books. For this binding method the cover and inside pages are glued together with a strong, flexible glue. The cover wraps around the inside pages so it allows for printing on the spine.
Folding Method: Gate Fold
A gate fold is a popular choice for invitations and brochures. Typically you'll use a gate fold on cover weight stocks. The gate fold has a 3 panel layout. The outer two, A & C, are the same size and the middle equals side A+C.
