VIDEO: Fold DIN A1

If you fold your paper in A1 format correctly, you can also unfold it later in the filed state.

How to fold DIN A1 with a binding margin

1. Lay the A1 paper across in front of you so that the labeling field is at the bottom right. If you don't have a label area, this should be what you want to see when folded.
2. Before you fold your paper, it is best to make a few marking points with a pencil. You set the first point 210 millimeters from the left edge, the next is 190 millimeters from the first point. Also measure 190 millimeters from the right edge.
3. An intermediate fold will later appear approximately in the middle between the second and third point. Also mark this point with a pencil.
4. Now keep folding back and forth. First fold the plan to the left at the first marking point. Make sure that the edges fit perfectly so that the folded paper looks nice and tidy later.

5. At the second point, fold the sheet to the right, the intermediate fold back to the left and at the third dimension back to the right. Your labeling field should now be on top.
6. Now fold the top half back so that the top edge is flush with the bottom.
7. Open the last fold again and fold the upper left corner backwards. The crease goes from the middle crease to a distance of 105 millimeters, measured from the upper left corner.
8. Now you can fold the paper back together, punch holes in the binding margin and file.

If you pull the ruler vigorously over the crease every time you crease it, your paper will not be as thick later.

How to bring your DIN A1 to DIN A4

If you don't need a binding margin on your A4 format, simply fold the paper like this:

1. Place the paper in front of you so that it is horizontal and the labeling field is at the bottom right.
2. Make a marker every 210 millimeters.
3. It is best to start folding here on the right. Crease the paper from right to back at the first point, then forward at the second point and backwards again at the third.
4. Lay the plan in front of you so that the labeling field is on top. Fold the paper backwards so the top edge is flush with the bottom edge.
