Instructions for the teachers A leaflet may consist of a single sheet of paper that is printed on both sides and folded in various ways. The most common types of single-sheet leaflets are the bi-fold (a single sheet printed on both sides and folded into halves) and the tri-fold (the same, but folded into thirds). A bi-fold brochure results in four panels (two panels on each side), while a tri-fold results in six panels (three panels on each side). Important points to be kept in mind while designing a leaflet: Heading: The leaflet heading is normally the most important part of the leaflet because it is the part that first catches the eye.
