folder
printed circular used most often in direct mail although sometimes distributed by hand in an advertising campaign; also called leaflet. A folder is usually a sheet of paper of any color, imprinted on one or both sides, that has been folded so that each folded section reads as a single page and the printed matter does not cross the fold. Folders are usually designed to fit in a standard-size envelope, such as a #10 (4 1/8" x 9½").
