Accordion fold - Folding paper by bending each fold in the opposite direction of the previous fold creating a pleated or accordion effect. Typically accordion folds are simple zig-zag folds with 6-panels and two parallel folds that go in opposite directions. Each panel of the accordion fold is about the same size. Accordion folds are similar to the pleats on the musical instrument. Some tri-fold brochures, business letters, invoices, and monthly statements commonly use an accordion fold. This fold allows an address at the top or bottom of a typical portrait style letter or invoice to show through a window envelope, avoiding the need for address labels.
