13. Bi-fold brochures are found among us every day:
they are one of the most common brochure
types. These brochures are economical to
print since they are usually a double print
folded in half. This folding forms 4 panels: a
front-cover, a back-cover, and two internal
panels.
However, there are other configurations: 8-
page, 12-page, 16-page and so on. The front
panel works as the front-page, and its main
purpose is to introduce the piece and to cause
the necessary intrigue or impact to make the
viewer want to open it and read the
content, while the back-cover is used for
contact information; of course this can
change.
They are more formal that that tri-fold
brochures, and are intended for product
presentations, catalogues, institutional
introductions, etc. Bi-fold brochures can also
work as folders in which you can place inserts
depending on the prospective interests: this is
ideal for trade shows, for example. Large bi-
fold brochures have a long lifetime, and are
usually read in more detail than small tri-folds.

14. Tri-fold brochures are one of the most
common brochures. They are thin and
convenient to carry and tempt viewers to
open it as they cause intrigue.These
brochures are economical to print since
they are basically standard-sized prints
on light stocks that are folded in three.
They have 6 panels to place information
on, which is an advantage over other
types of brochures.
However, this is not always true: the tri-fold
morphology adapts to larger brochures.
In these cases, they usually have triple
or double pages, and the stock used is
of higher quality.Viewers are tempted to
open these kind of brochures, as they
cause intrigue. So, they are suitable for
designs of good impact.They are
intended to be handed over to people:
ideal to put in folders, or as a more
elegant alternative to the flyer in trade
shows.
