Three Panel (double fold) Leaflets |
|
Another design we often receive is that of a traditional three
panel double fold leaflet. The main problem that arises is a relatively simple
one; the inner margins need to be twice the size of the outer ones or the content
will not align with the folds.
Figure 1 shows a typical three pane leaflet
Figure 1
Figure 2 shows the same three pane leaflet with the columns set
(incorrectly) with 20mm margins throughout....
Figure 2
Figure 3 shows how the leaflet in figure 2 will look once folded,
with the folds depicted as black lines. Notice how the blue and yellow coloured
areas spill onto the central pane. This is not a particularly bad example, but
we have been given countless three pane leaflets with images and even text that
would cross over the folds if not corrected. This is bad enough when all the
margins are the same, but too often we are sent designs with the central margins
actually set smaller than the outer margins.

Figure 4 shows the three pane leaflet, correctly spaced as depicted
in figure 1, with the correct margins superimposed on the top. Notice that the
outer margins are 10mm, but the inner ones are 20mm. Remember this and you shall
not falter, forget it at your peril....
