How to fold a three-panel brochure proof before printing
Check the front and back of the folded brochure, the insert panel, and the reading order with a single-sheet proof.
The six panels standing side by side on the screen turn into cover, back cover and faces that fit under each other when held in the hand. The cheapest proof before sending a file to a printing house in Ankara is a blank sheet of paper on your desk. Fold the brochure in the user-opening direction; While it is still closed, put one dot on the cover and two dots on the back. Then open it and see where the marks fall in the flat file.
Infolding wing
The accordion fold and the inward fold are not the same scheme. The thickness of the paper and the crease pattern used by the printing house decide how narrow the inward wing will be. Instead of opening three equal boxes by guessing the size, ask for the manufacturer's template. Don't put a phone number right on the breaking line; Even a few millimeters of offset can scatter the figures on either side of the corner.
Make the final proof in full size, double-sided. Give someone a closed brochure and tell them to find the price list. If he has chosen the cover correctly but turns the brochure upside down to get to the list, the problem is not in the printing but in the panel order. The dots you write on the paper show this error while the file is still editable.
