Standard accordion fold

The final or compensating fold of the standard sequence is positioned to give two equal-width panels, always narrower than the preceding ones unless the document length is an exact multiple of the selected panel width. Typical panel width selections for non-bookfolded documents are 210mm, 8½”, 9”, 11”, 297mm and 12” (bookfolds and custom packets require different panel widths).
