Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Z-Fold Brochure?
A Z-Fold Brochure is folded twice in alternating directions, creating a zigzag or accordion-style shape. The finished brochure has six panels that can unfold into one continuous sheet.

What's the difference between Z-Fold and Tri-Fold Brochures?
Both have six panels, but they fold differently. A traditional tri-fold has one panel tucked inside another, while a Z-fold uses alternating folds. This makes Z-Fold Brochures especially useful for content that flows across multiple panels.

What size will my brochure be after folding?
The finished size depends on the flat sheet size and fold orientation. For a standard Z-fold, the approximate folded dimensions are:

  • 8.5" × 11" (Flat) - 3.67" × 8.5" (Folded)
  • 8.5" × 14" (Flat) - 4.67" × 8.5" (Folded)
  • 11" × 17" (Flat) - 5.67" × 11" (Folded)

Individual panel widths may vary slightly to accommodate the fold.

Can I print on both sides?
Yes. Full-color printing is available on one side or both sides, depending on how much information you'd like to include.

Can I order a different paper or finish?
Additional paper types, finishes, and specialty configurations may be available by custom quote.
