A brochure often makes the first case for your business, before a prospect ever visits your website. Boxify Now prints tri-fold, half-fold, z-fold and gate-fold brochures on gloss, matte or uncoated paper for clinics, real estate offices, schools and trade show teams. Send a finished file or use our free design support to build custom printed brochures panel by panel, with your logo and brand colors matched in CMYK or PMS. Agencies and franchises can order brochures wholesale for several locations. Check the digital proof, then buy brochures knowing how they will fold. Buy now or request a quote.
Brochures are single sheets of paper printed on both sides and folded into panels, used to introduce a business, product or service in a format people can pick up and take with them. Each panel carries one part of the message, so the reader moves from a cover to the details and then to a call to action. They are handed out at counters, events and appointments, displayed in racks and sent through the mail.
A brochure is best for a message that needs more space than a flyer but less than a catalog. It suits a service menu, a program overview, a property or travel offer, a patient information sheet or a product line summary. The fold gives the content an order, and that order is the main advantage over a flat sheet.
Typical buyers include medical and dental practices, hotels and attractions, colleges, nonprofits, contractors, financial advisers and any company exhibiting at a trade show. If your content runs past what one folded sheet can hold, stapled booklets are the natural next step.
The fold determines how many panels you have and the sequence in which a reader sees them.
Plan each panel for the moment the reader sees it. On a tri-fold, the front cover has one job: give someone a reason to open it, with a headline, an image and your logo. The panel that shows when the cover first opens, the inside flap, is the best place for a summary or an offer. The three inside panels carry the detail, and the back panel holds contact information, a map, hours and a QR code.
Two practical points catch people out. First, the panel that tucks inside on a tri-fold or roll fold must be slightly narrower than the others, or the brochure will buckle when folded. We set the panel widths for you and show them on the proof. Second, avoid running small text across a fold, where it becomes hard to read. Images and color blocks cross folds without trouble.
Size is given as the flat, unfolded sheet. In the United States the usual choices are 8.5 x 11 inches for a standard tri-fold, 8.5 x 14 inches when you need a fourth panel or wider columns, and 11 x 17 inches for a half-fold that finishes at letter size. An 8.5 x 11 tri-fold finishes at roughly 3.67 x 8.5 inches, which fits a number 10 envelope and most literature racks.
Custom sizes are available if you need a square piece, a narrow rack card format or a brochure cut to fit inside a box or a folder pocket.
Choose paper by how the brochure will be used and how long it has to last. Text-weight gloss paper is the economical standard for handouts and mailers. A heavier text or light cover stock feels more substantial and stands up better in a rack, but thicker sheets should be scored before folding so the fold does not crack.
Gloss coating brightens photographs. Matte looks restrained and is easier to read under bright lights. Uncoated paper is right if people will write on the piece, as with registration or estimate forms. Matte or gloss lamination, soft-touch, aqueous coating and spot UV are available for brochures that need extra protection or a premium feel.
Where the brochure will sit should shape the design.
Only the top third of the cover shows above the piece in front. Put your name and headline there.
Leave a clear panel for the address and postage, and check current postal requirements for folded self-mailers, including how the open edge must be sealed.
Brochures get picked up when they sit beside something that draws the eye. Printed table tents on a reception desk or exhibition table point visitors to the stack, and many sales teams hand each brochure over with one of their business cards clipped to the cover.
Boxify Now prints custom brochures to your size, fold and paper choice, and includes free design support. That covers checking a file you supply, setting up fold positions correctly or building a layout from your text and images. You see a digital proof with fold lines marked before production, so panel order and margins can be confirmed. Minimums are low, shipping is free and your quote will confirm delivery details for your location.
Printed brochures are still among the most practical ways to put a clear, complete message in someone’s hand. Send us your specifications or a rough idea of what you need, and buy now or request a quote.
The tri-fold, also called a letter fold, is ordered most often. It turns a letter-size sheet into six panels, fits a standard business envelope and literature rack, and gives a clear sequence of cover, summary, detail and contact information.
Brochure size refers to the flat sheet before folding, for example 8.5 x 11 inches. The finished size depends on the fold. Tell us either the flat size or the folded size you need and we will confirm the other on your proof.
The panel that folds inside has to be a little narrower so it sits flat without pushing against the outer fold. If all three panels are equal, the brochure bows open. We set these panel widths correctly when preparing your proof.
Gloss text paper is the usual choice for image-led handouts, matte for pieces with a lot of reading, and uncoated for forms people fill in. Heavier stock feels more substantial and lasts longer in racks but needs scoring along the folds.
Yes, folded brochures can be designed as self-mailers with a blank address panel. Postal services set rules for size, paper weight and how the open edges are sealed, so check current requirements before finalizing artwork, and tell us it is a mailer.
Yes. Brochures are printed on both sides in CMYK, and PMS spot colors can be added when a brand color has to match exactly. Send your PMS numbers with the artwork so they are shown on the digital proof.
Options include gloss or matte lamination, soft-touch lamination, aqueous coating, spot UV and foil stamping. Coatings protect against fingerprints and scuffing, while spot UV or foil draws attention to a logo or headline on the cover panel.
Less than most people expect. Aim for a headline and two or three short paragraphs or a bullet list per panel. Crowded panels are skipped, so if your copy will not fit comfortably, consider a larger sheet or a booklet.
Send a print-ready PDF, AI or EPS file at 300 DPI in CMYK with 0.125 inch bleed and fonts outlined. Supply the outside and inside as separate pages. If you are unsure about fold positions, ask us for guidance.
Yes. Your digital proof shows both sides of the sheet with fold lines and panel order marked, so you can confirm which panel becomes the cover and that nothing important sits on a fold. Printing starts after you approve it.
We keep minimums low, which makes short runs for a single event or office practical. The exact starting quantity depends on the size, paper and finishing you choose, and it will be stated on your quote before you place the order.
Production time depends on quantity, paper and finishing, so the timeline is confirmed on your quote. Work begins once you approve the proof. If the brochures are for a trade show or opening date, mention the deadline when requesting your quote.
No. Shipping is free, and your quote will confirm delivery details for your location. Brochures are delivered folded and boxed, ready to place in racks or hand out, unless you ask for them to be supplied flat.
Free design support is included. We can correct and prepare a file you already have, or arrange your text, images and logo into a layout that suits the fold you have chosen. You review and approve everything on the proof.
Yes. A QR code prints well on any panel as long as it is large enough and has clear space around it. A coupon is best placed on an end panel so it can be torn or cut off cleanly.
