We define crash folding as the folding of the document at least one time, after which in the end folding it once more over the previous folds. For an A3 Crash folded to DL, it means that we can take an A3 sheet, fold it in 1/2 to A4 after which crash fold it to DL.

A3 crash folded to DL printed flyers are used wherein the layout requires A3 size printing, but the finished size requires being much smaller (e.g. DL). This is frequently the case for direct mailing and advertising campaigns in which the flyers want to be sent in DL envelopes. Crash folding also can be effective when it is important to give out informational or promotional material in a compact format.
