What is the difference between a roll fold and a zigzag fold?

In a roll fold the panels fold into each other, and the innermost panel is 3 mm narrower so it tucks in. In a zigzag fold the brochure folds like an accordion, and every panel is the same width.

Should I send spreads or single pages to the print shop?

Most print shops want spreads: the outside and the inside as whole sheets. Some want single pages. You choose under Layout when you download.

Why are there dashed lines on the brochure in the editor?

They show where the brochure folds. The lines are not printed, but the fold marks outside the page are, so the print shop can see where to fold.

A brochure puts the essentials about your business, your club or your event on one sheet of paper that can sit on the counter, go out with the post or be handed out.

Bon à savoir

Here you will find brochure templates in A5, A4 and DL with 4 or 6 pages. A 4-page brochure has one centre fold, while a 6-page brochure is folded with a roll fold or a zigzag fold. In the editor you see the fold lines, and every page has its own safe margin, so the text never ends up in the fold. Change the text, colours and photos right in your browser. When the brochure is ready, download it as PDF Print in spreads, the outside and the inside as whole sheets with fold marks and 3 mm bleed, or as single pages in reading order, whichever your print shop asks for.
