Catalan term or phrase: quadríptic
Proposem realitzar un fulletó, tipus quadríptic, per tal de presentar de forma clara i concisa les activitats que desenvoluparem, una petita referència històrica i un text de presentació de Catalunya.

Algú sap com dir quadríptic en anglès? He traduït fulletó per flyer...
Gràcies.

four-panel leaflet
Explanation:
Although Serge is technically correct, I don't think anyone except a handful of grizzled lexicographers would readily understand *quadruptych*.

I would also say that something that has a mere four panels hardly deserves to be called a *brochure*.

Please see references.

Molta sort!

On second thought, it would be odd in English to refer to the precise number of panels, or sides. "Flyer", "leaflet" or "brochure" by themselves would do, the choice depending on the size of the document in question.

neutral  Timothy Barton: Well you've taught me a new word in English, but I don't think it should be used here. If I've learnt the meaning of the word in Catalan before I've learnt it in English, that tells me that in normal circumstances I shouldn't use it in a translation.

agree  Timothy Barton: Yes. Could this "tipus" not be a way of saying "such as"? Ie, they don't mean necessarily that it has to have precisely four panels. Not sure though. This is something you should check with a Catalan.

  -> Right. For that matter, it would be odd in English to refer to the precise number of panels. "Flyer", "leaflet" or "brochure" by themselves would do, the choice depending on the size of the document in question. Thanks, Tim.

agree  Patrick Bones: My thoughts exactly. Yes, stay away from flyer. In the States that's what is used to advertise things like keg parties or garage sales (of course there's nothing wrong with such events, but...)

quadríptic
folded leaflet


Explanation:
Given your context, I would just say "folded leaflet". The author doesn't seem to mean that he wants exactly 4 sides. Maybe somewhere else in the text there is a more precise description of the leaflet, but for this sentence I wouldn't necessarily bother being so precise. I think any English-speaking person would just say a leaflet.

When I think "flyer", I think of a single, unfolded sheet.

I think Tim is right - it would be three-fold if it had four panels - I was getting confused with folds and panels! :-))

neutral  Timothy Barton: Would it not be three-fold if it has four panels?
1 hr
  -> yes, probably - I was getting confused between panels and folds :-))

agree  Berni Armstrong: yes, I'd go for "thinking of issuing a three fold style leaflet..."
3 hrs
  -> thanks, Berni - or maybe tri-fold - it seems to be commonly used too:-)
