Consider the following when choosing your paper type:
-
Purpose: For marketing materials, choose paper types that enhance your brochure’s impact. Glossy papers are ideal for vibrant colors, while matte papers offer a clean and understated look.
-
Durability: If your brochure will be handled frequently or stored for a long time, opt for thicker cardstock for better durability.
-
Finish: Glossy finishes enhance color brightness and sharpness, while matte finishes provide a sophisticated and smooth look.
The number before the paper and cardstock material indicates its weight. This means that 70 lb. paper is the thinnest and lightest, while 100 lb. is the thickest among the paper options. The 10 pt. cardstock is also lightweight but slightly thicker than paper stock materials.
Note: If you are mailing this product, please confirm that your mail addressing machine can print on the laminated surface. If unsure, please call to request a sample before placing your order.
Brochures are practical marketing tools used to promote your information-heavy campaigns.

Read on to learn how to create standard brochures that will work best for your business.
All sizes shown on the calculator measure the brochure when unfolded and laid out flat on a surface. If you want a finished trifold brochure that folds to 8.5” x 3.69”, the unfolded size should be 8.5” x 11”.
- Cover - A central image that immediately conveys what your product or service has to offer. Include your company logo and name so customers make the association.
- High-Resolution Images - Use 300 dpi images for your brochure design. This resolution ensures the photo won’t be blurry upon printing.

- Contact Information - Don’t forget to place all your company’s contact information, such as a telephone number, address, email address, and website for the customer’s preference.
The most eye-catching brochures are highly visual and use images to guide the reader through the content. A photo or illustration in each panel helps introduce or show the content in detail. Your copy should be as short as possible to sustain the reader’s focus on your main topic. For more information, check out our guide on how to design brochures.

Customer Questions
Yes, we can do that size and folding. If you dont have access to your predecessor's account, you may create a new one and then give us a call to speak to a Customer Service Representative who can set this up for you. After that, you may submit the artwork to fit those specifications and finalize the order.
Unfortunately, our pricing is based on one design per quantity. The set up cost of each design is separate and we can only get cost efficiency over a printing run if the design is the same. In these cases, you may purchase Rub-on and Stick on numbers in any Staples or office supply stores as an alternative.
You can have artwork on nine panels but whenever you fold and need each panel to be the same size, the total number of panels will be an even number. If this is is the case, one panel will be blank and will cost the same as having printing on 10 panels.
We will print in the color your file contains or at least as close as we can. There will be no difference in price if you submit black and white or full color artwork.
That would depend on the quantity you are ordering. As with most online printers, once you order just 200 quantity and below, these will be printed on a high quality digital press. Once the count goes up to 250 pieces, that is normally the quantity that makes it more cost effective to print on offset.
Your files will be reviewed for printing errors without paying a cent.
150+ print products to help you make a good impression. 1000+ options to customize to your heart’s content.
