My LoginA gate fold is a three- or four-panel fold where the two outside panels fold inward to meet in the center. An open gate fold has three panels, the bottom one twice the size of the folded panels; a closed gate fold has four panels of roughly equal size, with the outer panels folded inward together.
It makes a dramatic reveal when opened. It is popular for invitations and premium brochures.
