Brochure Printing FAQs

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.

Q:
I just completed the form but it did not ask if I wanted black/white or color... Thank you, Carolyn
Asked 10 days ago by Carolyn
A:

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.

Q:
Do you print brochures digitally, or offset on press?
Asked 2 months ago by Akron C.
A:

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.

Q:
Juan, how much for printing 150 of those?
Asked 2 months ago by Dawn
A:

It would be best to configure you size, paper type, folding and other options on the Brochures product page. On the quantity field, there is an option for 150. The prices differ based on the printing time selected. You will also be able to get an approximate price on shipping when you type in your zip code on the "Estimate Shipping and Delivery" Link. If  you need help navigating the product page, please give us a call at 888 888 4211 or speak to any of our Live Chat representatives as lines are open 24/7 during weekdays and during office hours on weekends.

Q:
Can a brochure be printed without the white border?
Asked 3 months ago by Maia
A:

Definitely. This is called a bleed when your background prints right up tp the edge of the artwork. When you submit your artwork in the order size you select, make sure to extend your background an 1/8" on all sides to ensure that there will be no white border and we print to the edge. Also, all your important design elements should be placed 1/8" inside the trim line so that these do not get cut off inadvertently in production. Aside from the exact size (with bleed), we need you to use a CMYK color format  on your file as that is our printing color mode. The resolution should also be at least 250-300 DPI  for optimal printing.

Q:
With a trifold/letter fold brocure, is the front design considered the inside of the brochure and the back the outside?
Asked 4 months ago by Paul M.
A:

You have to picture your design spread out on a flat piece of paper. So yes, that would mean the front or first panel would be at the back since you will need to fold that inwards when the brochure is closed.
