There is certainly a time and place for a tri fold brochure, but why limit yourself? There are so many options out there that could really give your marketing piece an updated look.
Double Parellel Fold
The piece is first folded in half and then folded in half again. The folds are parallel to each other. Also known as a quarter fold.
4 Panel Roll Fold
A brochure which is continuously folded inward at one end as if you are rolling the piece up.
Accordion Fold
A sheet, typically printed on only one side, is folded twice in right angles to form a W-shape.
Gate Fold

Double Gate Fold
This is a single gate fold (above), with an additional fold on the center.
Z-Fold
A paper fold represented by back and forth folds into three panels.
Half Fold
The half fold is commonly used for brochures and greeting cards.
Half Tri Fold

The Trusty Tri Fold
