Question:
What is a delta fold?

S. H.

Answer:
A delta fold is a popular fold in advertising. Here’s a description from the Handbook of Print Media, written by Dr. Helmut Kipphan: "A square product or "delta fold" is produced if the small auxiliary jaw cylinder section of a folder is positioned within the first third of the product lying on the folding cylinder."

While that tells you how it’s produced, it makes more sense to see what it looks like. To view a diagram of a delta fold, go to the web page below and scroll half-way down the page:
