Our standard tri-fold and quad-folds are roll folds, meaning the flat card is folded inward multiple times in the same direction to create multiple panels of approximately the same size. We also offer gatefold and z-fold cards, tri-fold card variations, that we have a separate article on. You can even order custom folded cards with PrintsWell.
Fold Type
Both of these cards are considered roll folds. A roll fold is a paper folding technique where a single sheet of paper is folded in repeated, parallel folds in the same direction, causing the panels to roll into one another. Standard Tri-Fold (3 panels) and Quad-fold (4 panels) cards are made up of equal sized panels.

Orientation
These cards can be set up for landscape or portrait orientations for a different design layout that best suits your project.
