How the Z-Fold Accordion (6-Panel, Tabloid) layout is built

  1. Places the two already composed Z-fold sides 1-up at native size so front/back panels align after duplex printing.

  2. Marks zigzag folds at the 1/3 and 2/3 positions — alternating mountain and valley folds for accordion finishing.
