Roll Fold vs Accordion Fold
Roll folding folds the panels into eachother in a "rolling" motion or a U pattern. This is harder to design for because the panels on the inside need to be smaller and smaller as you roll more and more.
Accordion folding folds like a Z pattern. This is easy to design for because the panels don't need to be smaller since a panel never gets folded into other panels.
