A good fit for your idea?

Read the full joining and folding sequence, then dry-fit one plain-paper trial. Panel measurements do not guarantee usable internal capacity.

Inside this edition

A 180 x 120 mm concertina base with panel widths 45, 45, 45, 45 mm.

From file to finished page

  1. Choose the paper size loaded in your printer and open the matching PDF.
  2. Print at actual size (100%) on the matching paper. Measure the 50 mm reference line on a physical trial; a screen ruler is not a print check.
  3. Cut around the outer rectangle. Score only the dashed fold lines before decorating the blank panels.
  4. Alternate valley, mountain and valley folds so the four panels stack.
  5. Use as a four-panel message card or photo display. Add lightweight inserts smaller than each 45 x 120 mm panel.
  6. Check the finished folds on scrap first. These dimensions do not establish compatibility with a commercial card or envelope size.
Printing and use notes

Make a scrap-paper trial before using special material or producing a batch.

Digital geometry does not establish physical assembly, durable joins, material fit or compatibility with a particular product.
