Definition:
With French folds the paper is folded with crossfolds (right angle folds), often with a short first fold. The shorter portion or head in french folds may be folded to the inside (heads in) or outside (heads out).
Eight-panel french folds with even panels (no short heads) are commonly called quarter-fold or 8-panel right angle folds.
Examples:
French folds are often used for greeting cards and wedding invitations.
