The half-fold brochure - also called a bi-fold brochure - is created by folding a single sheet of paper once down the center. This gives you 4 generous, equally sized panels that open like a small booklet, with one panel serving as the cover. The larger panel size compared to tri-fold makes half-folds the preferred choice when bold visuals, large imagery, or detailed text need space to breathe.
When folded from an 8.5" x 11" sheet, each panel measures 5.5" x 8.5" - spacious and easy to read. Half-folds are widely used for menus, event programs, corporate presentations, product overviews, real estate materials, and any project where a clean, booklet-style layout creates the right impression.
