How the shape is constructed

The finished size describes the folded card. In the starting example, the back and cover lie side by side, with a vertical crease between them. A roll fold adds a shortened inner flap. A gate fold splits the front into two wings with a gap at the center.

How it is assembled

Roll fold: Fold the inner flap inward first, then fold the cover over it. Gate fold: Fold both wings toward the center. Single fold: Fold at the center. Re-crease all folds neatly.

What to consider for this construction

Fold type

Single fold (two panels), roll fold (three panels, narrower inner flap), or gate fold (two wings that meet at the front).

Inset

The amount by which the inner flap is narrower (roll fold), or the width of the gap between the wings (gate fold); at least twice the material thickness.

Frequently asked questions

Is 105 × 148 mm the open or closed size?

The dimensions refer to the folded finished size. A single fold produces two equally wide panels side by side. The starting blank is therefore 210 × 148 mm. Roll and gate folds change the blank even with the same finished size; create the artwork only after choosing the crease pattern.

Which crease patterns does the folded card support?

cardFold offers single for a single fold, roll for a roll fold, and gate for a gate fold. A single fold has a cover and back. A roll fold adds a narrower inner flap. A gate fold has a central panel and two front wings. The template calculates separate panel boundaries for each selection.

What does cardFoldInset do?

With a roll fold, this parameter shortens the inner flap. With a gate fold, it describes the gap between the wings. The required minimum inset depends on material thickness. A single fold does not need it for panel widths. Recheck the combination after a material change and test closing on a sample.
