interfold
Fold into each
To interfold is to fold together, with parts alternating or interlocking—like shuffling cards or the way fingers interlock when hands clasp.
Paper products are often interfolded so each sheet pulls the next partway out: interfolded paper towels.
The word emphasizes mutual or reciprocal folding rather than simple creasing.
