Turn Your Information into an Organized Presentation
A folded brochure gives each part of your message its own space. Introduce your business on the cover, explain products or services inside, and place contact information where readers can find it easily. This structure helps customers explore your offering without fitting every detail onto a single crowded page.
Choose the flat size according to the amount of content and the intended layout. The 8.5" × 11" option suits general business brochures and service summaries. The longer 8.5" × 14" format provides additional room for pricing, schedules or supporting details. For larger photographs, maps and more extensive presentations, 11" × 17" offers a broader design area.
Paper selection also shapes the finished brochure. Gloss stocks complement photography and colorful graphics, while matte text provides a less reflective surface for reading. The heavier 100 lb. Gloss Book option adds a more substantial feel compared with 80 lb. Gloss Book.
Plan your content around the fold before completing the artwork. Covers, interior sections and reverse panels need to appear in the correct order when the brochure is opened. Some folds require unequal panel widths, so the selected template should guide your layout.

Ideal Uses and Applications
Custom folded brochures work well as sales handouts, company introductions, product guides and service menus. Real estate businesses can present property photographs and details, while hotels and tourism organizations can share amenities, maps and visitor information. They also provide a practical format for event programs, patient information, school materials and nonprofit outreach.
Artwork and File Preparation
Prepare your artwork using the template for your selected size and fold. Include 0.125" bleed on outer edges where artwork extends to the trim, and keep important text, logos and QR codes clear of trim edges and fold lines.
