NOTES: Paper size: 3.75” wide by 11” tall; 0” margins
Guides: Set a ruler guide at 2 3/8” and 9 7/8” and do not place anything above the top guide or below the bottom guide. Set a ruler guide at 6 1/8” and that will separate the repeated panel. Display panels will be 3.75” tall; leave 2 3/8” (2.375) at the top for the base and 1 1/8” (1.125) at the bottom for the base. The top square panel will need to be flipped 180 degrees (upside-down); print on card stock. Only print on one side of the paper, and then fold the finished product to create the tent.

Boarding Pass Holder (Gate Fold Brochure Style)

4-page LONG fold

Create a “4 panel” long fold boarding pass holder. Print on one side only (inside will be blank except for the fold up area). Use a letter sized page setup. The inside of holder will require that you fold up the bottom. Watch the bottom 5” of the page as this will be the fold up pocket area. Anything placed in that area should be rotated 180 degrees. Only use the top 6” for content. You may wish to cut off the left hand “pocket” or you could use both pockets. Feel free to cut/trim creatively.

NOTES: Normal letter sized portrait paper. Page setup with .2” margins, 2 columns, .4” gutter.  Then, add a ruler guide with 5 rows, 0” gutter.
