1. Half-fold or bi-fold brochure - It’s also called a book fold brochure that is designed by just folding the page into two equal halves. 
2. Tri-fold — These are constructed by folding panels in on one another. The fold can be horizontal for shorter/wider panels, or vertical for narrower/taller panels.
3. Z-fold — They are designed by folding three equal panels in such a way that lets them unfold like an accordion instrument. In simple words, it forms a zigzag “Z” shape. If your brochure is image-heavy, go for this type.
4. Gatefold — These are made when two smaller panels of a larger panel are folded inwards that create a gate-like structure.
5. French fold — When two half folds are combined by folding the page in half horizontally and then vertically, it creates a card-like brochure. This is commonly used for invitations, greeting cards, and collaterals.
6. Double gate — It features a slightly longer width plus a second fold right at the center, creating eight panels. It’s used for magazines, larger presentations, and visually-impactful brochure designs.
7. Roll fold — As the name suggests, each panel of this brochure fold rolls in on each other creating a spiral-like fold. It’s ideal for handbooks, guides, and mini tutorial booklets.
8. Accordion fold — It contains four panels, each one of them is folded in an alternate direction. It creates a zigzag-like fold. Such brochure folds are used in instructional booklets, travel brochures, and event schedules.
9. Tri-fold half fold — It’s a combination of both tri-fold and French fold. It’s folded in the first half and then it contains three inward panels.
