Flightchecking Your Files

 

Double Gatefolds

Definition: In double gatefolds there are three parallel folds. The left and right edges of the paper fold and meet in the middle, without overlapping, along a center fold. The outer panels are usually 1/32" to 1/8" smaller than the inner panels to allow for proper folding and nesting.

Also Known As: gatefolds

Examples: A doublegate fold might be used in the middle of a magazine for a fold-out center spread.
