Brochures FAQ
Find answers to common questions about bifold and trifold brochure printing, design, and more.
What is the difference between bifold and trifold brochures?
Bifold brochures fold in half once, creating 4 panels (2 on each side). Trifold brochures fold twice, creating 6 panels (3 on each side). Trifold is more common for marketing materials as it provides more space for content while maintaining a compact size.
What paper types are available for brochures?
We offer various paper types including gloss, matte, uncoated, and specialty papers. Paper weight options typically range from 80# text to 100# cover stock. Gloss paper provides vibrant colors, while matte offers a more sophisticated, non-reflective finish.
What is the minimum order quantity for brochures?
Minimum orders typically start at 100 copies, though smaller quantities may be available for an additional setup fee. Larger orders (500+) receive better pricing per unit. We work with businesses of all sizes to accommodate their marketing needs.
How long does it take to print brochures?
Standard turnaround is 5-7 business days for most orders. Complex projects with special finishes may take 7-10 business days. Rush orders can be completed in 2-3 business days for an additional fee. We provide timelines upfront for all projects.
What file format should I use for brochure designs?
We prefer PDF files with proper bleeds (0.125" on all sides) and crop marks. Files should be high resolution (300 DPI) for best print quality. We also accept InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop files. Our team can help prepare your files if needed.
What is the cost of printing brochures?
Pricing depends on page count, quantity, paper type, and finishing options. A typical trifold brochure might cost $0.50-$2 per copy for orders of 500-1000. Larger quantities and simpler designs reduce per-unit cost. Contact us for a detailed quote.
Can brochures be printed in full color?
Yes! We offer full-color printing (CMYK) for all pages. Full-color printing ensures vibrant images and professional appearance. We can also mix color and black & white pages to reduce costs if needed.
Do you offer design services for brochures?
Yes! Our design team can create professional brochure layouts that effectively showcase your products or services. We work with your content, images, and branding to create cohesive, eye-catching designs that drive results.
What finishing options are available?
We offer various finishing options including UV coating, lamination, embossing, and die-cutting. These options add visual appeal and durability. UV coating protects against fading and adds a professional gloss or matte finish.
What standard sizes are available for brochures?
The most common size is 8.5"x11" (letter size) folded to create a 4"x5.5" or 3.67"x8.5" finished size. We also offer custom sizes. Standard sizes are more cost-effective and fit standard brochure holders and displays.
