tres caras de la hoja

Apparently, the sheet of paper in question has been folded once (or perhaps twice), creating four “sides.”
Note from asker:
Muchísimas gracias, por la propuesta, Robert
Peer comment(s):

agree Charles Davis : Probably just once, making four sides in all. This was normal practice; a standard sheet of British foolscap was 13¼ x 16½ inches and it was often folded to give a more manageable page size of 8¼ x 13¼ inches (the size of modern American "foolscap").

agree JohnMcDove : Sin estar super seguro, tiendo a estar de acuerdo con esta idea... :-) Saludos cordiales.

Normalmente se considera un folio al conjunto de las dos caras, por lo tanto tres caras de folio equivalen a un folio y medio.

English term (edited): three sides of a sheet of foolscap

tres cuartillas de (ambas caras de) un folio

Creo que se refiere específicamente a ocupar tres cuartillas de un folio (a sheet of foolscap). Esto es, tres de las cuatro cuartillas que pueden ocuparse en ambas caras de un folio.
