Brochures

Brochures are commonly used for marketing, educational, and/or informational purposes. A well-designed brochure allows you to display a large amount of information about your company, product, or service in an organized, easy-to-read manner. The content of a brochure is often divided into various sections (with clear headlines) and may include photos, illustrations, maps, frequently asked questions, and customer testimonials.

Bifold and trifold brochures are also often used as restaurant or café menus, especially those that offer takeout, delivery, and catering. Having affordable yet high quality menus to give out to all your patrons does in fact boost business, making brochures an effective marketing tool for information of all kinds.

We make it easy to order a custom brochure that fits your needs! We are able to print standard and innovative brochure folds, including half-fold, tri-fold, and open gate fold using a state-of-the-art digital printing process. You can also select from several premium paper stocks such as 115g gloss, 135g. opaque smooth white, and 170g. matte paper. You can upload your own print-ready file to create a full-color brochure from start to finish. Our helpful customer service team is standing by in the event you have any questions or concerns.

We offer two convenient ways to make your own brochures. If you prefer to create your own design file, start by downloading the correct template for the exact size and fold you would like to print. Once your print-ready file is ready, select the correct size, paper, fold, and quantity, then upload your file. You have the option of instant processing (if you are confident your file is good to go) or manual processing (if you would like us to double check your file) before your brochure goes to print.

If you need a little help designing your brochure but you’re not sure where to start, you can use a free user-friendly online design tool Canva.

Brochures come with many different fold options, depending on the size of the final product. The most popular folding options include Half Fold, Trifold (bifold), Z Fold, Open Gate Fold, Closed Gate Fold, Double Parallel Fold, Roll Fold, and Accordion Fold. Brochures can be used to promote your business, explain your products or services, provide an overview of your company, or display charts, infographics, and other data.

Keep these tips in mind while designing your brochure:

1. What is the overall purpose of the brochure? Are you providing an overview of your company's services or just focusing on one service in particular? What is the action you want people to take after looking at the brochure? Is there a clear call to action so they know how to take that next step?
2. A brochure can hold quite a bit of content, so it's important to break up the text here and there. For example, you can use headlines, bullet points, or images and illustrations to make the brochure easier to read.
3. Don't go overboard with the design. It's important that the message doesn't get lost, so don't be too ambitious with fonts or colors. Stick to 2 or 3 main colors and fonts so the overall design looks clean and simple.
4. Have someone review the brochure design before sending it to print - preferably someone who is not familiar with the product being advertised. Ask them if the content and information flow would make sense to someone first learning about your business.

We accept TIF, TIFF, EPS, AI, PSD, BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, and PDF files. PSD, PDF, and AI files should be in CMYK mode to ensure accurate color output. Please note that our maximum file upload size is 75 megabytes and that the file resolution should be set to 350 dpi.

When designing your brochure, it's important to keep all critical elements (copy, photos, graphics, logos, etc.) within the safe zone of the template, so they are not at risk of being cutting off. The trim line shows where the final product will be cut, and the bleed refers to the part that will be trimmed off. If your brochure has a background, make sure the design goes all the way to the bleed line, so that the color or image continues to the edge of your brochures. We require a 3mm bleed on brochure files.
