Brochures come in many shapes and sizes and the word “brochure” is often used to describe a wide range of printed material.
- Flyers and Sell Sheets are often called “brochures.” These are single sheets, usually 8-1/2 x 11 size and typically printed on glossy book or cover stock.
- Brochures are also folded leave-behinds. The usual size is 8-1/2 x 11, and can fold down to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 or letter-fold to 3-5/8 x 8-1/2.
- Multi-page booklets are sometimes referred to as “brochures” as well. If the page count is eight or more, it would be usually be saddle stitched (stapled on the spine).
Types of Paper:
Brochures can be printed on any type of paper:
- Glossy or Matte Coated

Printing & Finishes:
Brochures can be printed in 1-color, 2-color or full-color formats. Depending on the quantity we’ll use digital printing (for small quantities) or print offset (for large quantities or sizes larger than 13 x 19). They can be printed with PMS inks, glossy or matte AQ or varnish, gloss UV, soft-touch UV coatings, etc. Brochures can also be die-cut, embossed or foiled to create a unique, high-end piece.

Your brochure can be designed at virtually any size. Due to the way paper is made, the most economical sizes are 4-1/4 x 11; 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; 6 x 9; 8-1/2 x 11; 11 x 17, plus a few others.
