Two facing pages used for a single, unbroken advertisement. It is also called a 2-page spread and usually incorporates the gutter.
An ad or editorial project that covers two facing pages. If it prints across the gutter between the two pages, and if the pages are on the same sheet, rather than two adjacent sheets, it might be called a "true" double truck. This name comes from the days when the heavy forms for newspaper pages, largely filled with lead type, were rolled around the composing room floor on heavy carts called trucks. Two pages for one project meant a double truck.
Double truck refers to a pair of facing pages, usually in a newspaper or magazine, with content that stretches over both pages.
