Zine side out. Fold the sheet in half the long way (top edge to bottom edge). Crease hard, unfold.

Fold the short way (left edge to right edge). Crease hard, unfold.

Fold each short side in to meet the center crease, like closing two little doors. Crease, then open it fully flat. You'll see eight rectangles.

Fold the short way again. Cut along the center crease from the folded edge to the middle — one panel deep, no further. (The red dashed line on the sheet.)

Unfold flat, fold the long way again, then push the two short ends toward each other. The slit opens into a plus sign and the panels fan out.

Press the pages flat so the cover lands on top. If you printed the poster on the back, the whole thing unfolds into a full-sheet image.

One sheet, one side, portrait, 100% scale. The heaviest stock your printer takes. 8.5 x 11 at home, 11 x 17 at the copy shop.

That's it. Sign and number the edition by hand if you're printing a run.

Exactly like a saddle stitch booklet: duplex, landscape, flip on short edge, fold, staple.

Side A reads from one cover. Turn the whole book over and Side B reads from the other. They meet at the hinge in the middle.

Double-sided, landscape, flip on short edge, 100% scale, heavy card stock. Fronts and backs are already paired up.

Use the crop marks at the corners. A ruler and a craft knife beat scissors here.

Double-sided, portrait, flip on long edge, 100% scale. Each sheet carries two strips of pages.

Cut along the red center line. Each sheet gives you two strips.

Stack the strips in order (top strip on the outside), fold once along the vertical line, and staple the spine.

Landscape, 100% scale, on legal or 11 x 17. Single-sided, or duplex flip on short edge if you used the back panels. The strip sits on the top half of the sheet.

Cut along the red line under the strip.

Fold at each panel line, alternating directions. Folded it fits a pocket; opened it stands on a shelf.

Print all sheets double-sided, landscape, flip on the short edge, 100% scale. The page order is already imposed — sheet 1 outside is your cover wrap.

Stack the sheets with sheet 1 on the outside (bottom of the pile as it comes off most printers — check the page numbers).

Fold the whole stack in half along the vertical center line. Crease hard with a bone folder or the back of a spoon.

Two staples on the fold line, about a third in from each edge. A long-reach stapler is ideal; otherwise open the booklet flat over cardboard and staple through.
