Line 1:
'''Double truck''' refers to a pair of facing pages, usually in a [[newspaper]] or [[magazine]], with content that stretches over both pages.
 
In most newspapers and magazines, the booklet-like format is accomplished by folding large sheets of paper in half. This allows the pages to be opened like a book. Sometimes, usually only in magazines, the pages are [[Staple (fastener)|stapled]] or [[stitch|stitched]]ed at the fold to hold the pages together.
 
Under this technique, each sheet of paper is actually four separate pages of the finished product. Two pages appear next to each other on the front of the sheet, with the other two likewise on the reverse side. Each time an additional sheet is added, the publication gains four additional pages. Because of this, most newspapers and publications are printed with page multiples of four.
