How to Create an (8.5 x 11) 3 Panel Roll Fold Brochure


Good Morning,
Hope everyone is doing well today. Today I am going to tell you how to set up a 3 panel roll fold brochure (8.5 x 11). In printing, to make a brochure fold correctly, you must make 2 of the panel the same size (3.6875) the last panel will be slightly shorter (3.625) that way the brochure will have a shorter fold into the brochure.

Sometimes you have to take into consideration the paper thickness, etc. Here is an example of a roll fold document from Indesign:



Basically the purpose is to have the last panel that folds in is supposed to be shorter so that it will fold correctly leaving the front even with the back panel. Hope this helps with creating a roll fold brochure. The same would apply to a bigger size brochure also. Remember two panels are the same size and the last panel is slightly smaller, or shorter. Have a great Day!
