Cutting and Folding Guide
*Page Updated May 12, 2024
PRINTING: Our tracts are designed to be printed on both sides of a letter size (8.5 x 11 inches) or international standard A4 size (210 x 297 mm) paper - two tracts per sheet. We recommend that you use glossy or 100-120 GSM paper for durability. Print coloured tracts on white paper, and non-coloured ones on coloured paper. It is important to follow the steps in our Printing Guide to print these tracts.
CUTTING: There are two tracts per sheet. Once you have printed the number of sheets you need, cut them into two equal halves (along the horizontal line). No trimming is required on the edges, except in cases where your printer's borderless printing feature is not doing a good job (Coloured tracts).
Cutting Options:
(1) Cut the sheets with a pair of scissors (recommended for single sheets only);
(2) Use a chopping/cutting board and a craft or pen knife, with a metal ruler as a solid guide (very effective for more than a few sheets);
(3) Use a professional grade paper cutter (highly recommended); or
(4) Pay a local printer to cut them for you.
FOLDING: For the wallet-size tracts (4 panels), use the page numbers as a guide for folding, ensuring that the title page is on the front of the tract. For all other tracts (3 panels), fold each tract, so that the title page is the front page, and the page with the logo is the middle page at the back. Your folded tracts should look just like the ones below. You can do it!
