Brochure printing is part of every successful marketing campaign. Give away brochures at conventions, highlight details about your new collection, or include them with every new customer purchase. They are an effective, versatile, and affordable promotional tool.

It would help if you had a fold that complements your brand and brochure design. Please choose from our nine available brochure folding formats.

Brochure Sizes, Folds, and Sample Designs

The information you will include determines the brochure size suited for your business. There are five standard brochure sizes — which you can combine with five popular types of paper folds. It helps to create an outline of your content to have an idea of the size that best works with your material.

Standard Brochure Sizes
Standard Brochure Folds

The final folded size of your brochure depends on the combination of: flat paper size, fold, and orientation (horizontal or vertical). We have blank brochure templates for standard brochures that you can download to guide you in creating a layout — or you can download the templates below.

Brochure Size for every business

Standard brochure sizes from 5.5" x 8.5" to 8.5" x 14" are used by businesses that wish to spread information about their products and services. Below are examples of industries and/or events where we can use these sizes:

  • Services - A good example of this would be photography studios. These brochures can feature sample works, special packages, and contact numbers. 
  • Medical - informative guides that summarize health care facts, medical conditions, health concerns, and general first aid topics. 
  • Real Estate - Description of commercial and residential properties and property information such as the address, property specifications, and contact numbers 
  • Trade Fair - participating companies in these events have an opportunity to communicate with their audience through brochures. They can showcase and demonstrate their products and services and position their brand among competitors.
  • Non-Profit Orgs - these organizations use brochures to explain advocacy, history, and mission to gain support from potential benefactors and the general public. 

On the other hand, the larger brochure sizes, 11” x 17 and 11” x 25.375, are more appropriate if you want to have more detailed content because some businesses would require image-heavy content.

  • Amusement/Theme Park Brochures - a definite need for theme parks to have because this informs people of featured attractions, rides, and other events.
  • Mini maps - map representations are especially helpful for tourists to guide them throughout their trip. Ideally, mini-map brochures contain street names and popular landmarks. These are displayed on hotel counters and souvenir shops. A more detailed map may need custom sizing and options.

Tips on Text Layout

One challenge in designing brochures is creating the layout without crowding the copy and images. You should maximize space and position the design elements for a visually appealing design:

Standard Brochure Sizes

It helps to ask an opinion from a friend on your font legibility and overall design before printing it.

If you need sizes other than the standard options, UPrinting offers custom brochures up to 11” x 17” for digitally printed runs and 27” x 39” for offset jobs. All you have to do is to fit in your content, images included, and we will make sure your design is print-ready with our free proofing service. For more information on brochure printing, call us at 1-888-888-4211 or chat with our friendly representatives. Our lines are open 24 hours from Monday to Friday and from 8 am to 9 pm on weekends and holidays.

Fonts
  • Choose easy-to-read fonts (i.e., Garamond, Helvetica, Times New Roman, or Century).
  • Use a sans serif font, such as Arial, for captions or small type.
  • Limit your font choices. Using more than two types of fonts will make your brochure messy, unprofessional, or playful.
  • Use highlighting techniques – bold, italic and bigger font size — instead of varying font styles.
  • Use a bigger text size for headlines and calls to action. Although not always, font size can be relevant to the importance of information. 
  • Choose font sizes that are proportionate to the size of your brochures. To help you decide on the font size, assess how many words you want to fill the space with.
  • Use 12-point font for the body, 10-point font for captions, and 14- to 22-point font for headlines. These are recommended sizes, but your choices will depend on the overall look of your design.

 Text Alignment

  • Avoid putting borders on your paragraphs unless needed.
  • Break long paragraphs into bullet points. Walls of text can discourage people from reading further, and bulleted information is easier to recall.
  • Use proper typographic alignment (flush left, right, justified, and centered) for a neat layout.
  • Align design elements — headers, images, and text —properly.
  • Make spacing consistent throughout your design. Remember to leave white space on your layout to give your content a balanced look. This helps make your design easier to read.

My New Go-To for Printing January 30, 2024 by D. B. ( MA )
“GREAT value, price, and amazing timeline. I was in a bind because my normal place didn't estimate the right delivery date and we needed something within 5 business days. Not only was this CHEAPER than my normal (already cheap) printer, but the quality is *AMAZING*. Best of all, they delivered on-time, and support was incredible in answering my questions. I'm officially going to use uprinting as my new go-to printer for materials.”

Q:
Do you print 25 page workbooks?
Asked 3 days ago by Kenneth L.
A:

Yes, we can print that for you. You may wish to check our Short-Run Booklet Page. However, for booklets, you will need the total pages to be in multiples of four so it should be either 24 or 28 pages. Also, if these are workbooks and youi need them to be written on, you will need to use uncoated paper. Please give us a call for a quote as our Custom Department will need to process any changes from the standard options. 

Q:
Are samples provided per request
Asked 29 days ago by Alexis
A:

We wont give an actual hard copy sample of your artwork. We can send you a free PDF proof before the job goes into production and before you even pay. However, we do have a free Sample Kit that includes Brochures and other products so you can see the quality of our printing. 

Q:
Do you provide mailing services?
Asked 2 months ago by Margi H.
A:

Yes, we provide mailing services (including  potential mailing lists). Please give us a call and speak to a Custom representative to get a quote.

Q:
How do I order them pre-folded?
Asked 2 months ago by Evelynn W.
A:

If you mean that the items are scored when you receive them, this is the standard practice if the material you ordered is cardstock (10 Pt or 14 Pt). They will come flat but with scoring on the areas wherein you need to fold them. If you order materials with the regular paper options like 70 lb, 80 lb or 100 lb, these will be delivered folded as per your option (half, trifold, Z-folg, etc.).  

Q:
What does "scoured only" mean? I'm trying to do a trifold with the 14pt cardstock (uncoated). And just want to be sure when I order the set that they will come already creased or scoured to make sure the card folds cleanly with such a heavy stock.
Asked 4 months ago by Bill V.
A:

Yes, that means the item will be delivered flat but with scoring or creasing so that you may fold easily without breaking the heavier cover stock.
