Six Panels for Professional Marketing
A 6-page brochure is produced from one sheet printed on both sides and folded into three panels. This creates six printable sections that can guide readers through your message in a logical sequence.
Use the front panel to introduce your brand, the interior panels to explain your products or services, and the back panels for supporting information, contact details, and a clear call to action. This organized structure makes the brochure compact enough for convenient distribution while providing more room than a traditional flyer.
A typical six-panel layout may include:
-
Front cover with a headline and branded image
-
Company introduction or overview
-
Product or service information
-
Features and customer benefits
-
Pricing, testimonials, or promotional offers
-
Contact information and call to action
Available Sizes
Choose from three popular flat sheet sizes:
-
8.5" × 11"
-
8.5" × 14"
-
11" × 17"
The appropriate size depends on the amount of content, desired panel dimensions, distribution method, and visual presentation. Larger formats provide additional room for photographs, product comparisons, maps, schedules, menus, and detailed service information.
Final panel dimensions vary according to the selected sheet size and folding method. Prepare the artwork using the correct production template.
Paper Stock Options
80 lb. Gloss Book
A smooth, lightweight coated paper that enhances photographs, graphics, and vibrant brand colors. It is an effective choice for promotional brochures intended for convenient distribution.
80 lb. Matte Text
A smooth, non-glossy paper with a refined appearance and comfortable readability. This stock works well for brochures containing substantial text, professional information, or understated branding.
100 lb. Gloss Book
A heavier coated paper that provides a more substantial feel with strong color reproduction and a polished surface. Choose this option when presentation weight and visual impact are priorities.
Folding Options
Tri-Fold
A Tri-Fold divides the sheet into three vertical panels. One panel folds inward, and the opposite panel closes over it. This familiar format is ideal for company introductions, service brochures, product information, restaurant promotions, travel materials, and general marketing.
The fold-in panel may be slightly narrower than the other panels to allow the brochure to close correctly. Use the appropriate template instead of dividing the artwork into three equal sections.
Z-Fold
A Z-Fold uses three panels that fold in alternating directions to form a “Z” when viewed from above. Each section opens in sequence, making this format useful for timelines, step-by-step instructions, service categories, schedules, maps, and connected visual presentations.
Unlike a standard Tri-Fold, the panels generally open without one being enclosed inside the others. Confirm the correct panel sequence before approving the proof.
