Below is the most typically type of folds for a four page brochure (flat size is 11" x 17").
Note: If your 11 by 17 marketing piece is a direct mailer, the cheapest mailing cost (both for postage and direct mail services) is either a quarter fold or half fold and then trifold. When looking at the mailing panel (final folded piece), if the fold is on the bottom and the opening is on the top you only need one wafer seal (closure tab) and the piece will qualify for letter-size (cheapest postage) for either 1st or 3rd class mail.
