Make Your Brochures Stand Out
Foil Stamping
Foil stamping uses heat and pressure to apply a metallic or matte finish to your print. Choose from shiny metallics, bright white, holographic, or colored foil. It’s a simple way to make your logo, text, or design elements stand out on the page.
Custom Sizes
Standard sizes work for standard needs—but when you want to stand out, custom sizing makes a difference. We offer a wide range of brochure sizes to help your piece get noticed.
Die Cutting
Die cutting adds custom shapes and cutouts to your brochures. Highlight key elements, reveal images beneath, or create a unique shape. It’s an effective way to capture attention and leave a lasting impression.
Custom Brochure Printing Options
Promotional brochures are a powerful way to communicate your value to customers. From simple single-sided flyers to tri-folds and more complex cross-fold designs, Printing for Less offers a wide range of brochure options to help your business stand apart. Our team brings over 20 years of combined print experience and is here to help guide you every step of the way.
The right finishing touches can elevate your brochure before a single word is read. The look, feel, and interaction all work together to create a memorable experience.
- Add visual impact with metallic foil, spot UV coating, branded Pantone colors, or die-cut elements.
- Soft-touch coatings or embossing add a tactile quality.
- Unique folds guide how your message unfolds, helping you tell your story step by step.
Brochure Design
Design It Yourself
If you’re creating your own brochure, our templates make it easy to get started. We offer layout and fold templates for standard brochure sizes. Use them to set up your files correctly for print and ensure your design meets size and layout requirements.
Design for Your Purpose
Every brochure should guide the reader to take action. Start with a clear goal, then design around it.
- Use folds strategically to encourage interaction and guide your message.
- Use bold, eye-catching visuals to grab attention.
- Add finishes like foil stamping, embossing, or special coatings to enhance your design.
- Choose the right paper and finish—avoid glossy coatings if you need space to write.
Layouts and Folds
Once you’ve defined your purpose, consider how your brochure will be folded. While tri-fold brochures are the most common, there are many options to help your piece stand out:
- Tri Fold
- Half Fold
- Iron Cross
- Gatefold (Open or Closed)
- Stair Step
- Accordion
- Z Fold
- Barrel Roll
- Double Parallel
- Snake Fold

Brochure Marketing Tips
Define Your Purpose
Why are you creating a brochure? Marketing typically serves one of two goals: driving a specific action (call for a consultation, place an order, etc.) or building awareness of your brand. A brochure can often do both—thanks to the space it provides and the ability to organize content into panels through folds.
Start by defining what you want your brochure to achieve, then design everything around that goal. Unique folds can make your piece more engaging, encouraging people to spend more time with it, and making it easier to remember.
Keep it Simple
Keep your brochure clear and focused. Include one strong, easy-to-follow call to action. Avoid asking customers to do too many things at once—choose one action and make it easy to track and measure.
Your design should be clean and easy to read. A brochure is a tool, and it should be simple to use. If key information is buried under cluttered graphics, it will be overlooked. Use concise messaging and let images or graphics support your message.
Benefits or Features?
You’ll often hear that marketing should focus on the benefits of your product, solution, or offer, not features—and in most cases, that’s true. Show how your product or service improves your customer’s life, then support that with details.
That said, brochures can also work well for presenting features. If you need a clear, structured way to showcase what your product offers, a brochure is a strong format. In general, lead with benefits and use features to reinforce your message.
Make it Trackable
If your brochure includes an offer, URL, or phone number, consider making it unique to that piece. This allows you to track responses and understand how well your brochure is performing.
One advantage of print marketing is that it can reach beyond your initial audience. You may hear from people you didn’t specifically target—but who are still a great fit for your business.
Keep Your Brand Consistent
Use consistent colors, logos, messaging, and overall style across all your marketing assets. Your brochure should feel like a natural extension of your brand. Consistency makes it easier for customers to recognize and remember you when they’re ready to take action.
How Many Brochures Do You Need?
It may seem obvious, but it’s important to plan your quantity in advance. Larger orders typically reduce the cost per piece, but ordering too many can lead to waste—especially for time-sensitive promotions or if storage is limited.
Find the right balance based on your needs, timeline, and budget.
Brochure Pricing Considerations
So what goes into the cost of printing brochures? Several things can affect the cost.
Ink Options
All brochure and flyer printing comes with 4-color printing on the front. The second side can be ordered also with CMYK 4-color process, or with black ink or left blank. Pantone or metallic inks can also be used on request. Gloss UV coating adds an ultra-shiny and protective finish for a “rich,” high-end look and feel.
Paper Stock and Brochure Costs
The number one thing that changes your cost is the type of paper you use. Premium papers have a more luxurious feel, but they cost more. Typically, thicker papers cost more too but our print consultants can help you pick the right paper that fits your budget and purpose. Paper is really important to a brochure because the paper determines how the brochure handles being folded, it literally changes the structural integrity of the piece. All of the paper we use at Printing for Less is top-of-its class – we refuse to use cheap, crappy paper that can’t hold ink, fold properly or stand up to everyday abuse. Even if you choose our affordable option, you’re getting quality paper.
Custom Effects and Brochure Costs
Adding custom effects like metallic ink, foil stamping, die cuts, embossing and debossing will add cost. Some effects cost more than others, especially die cutting and embossing which usually requires a custom die to be made. Our print pros will help you make the decision about using custom effects. We want your marketing to work, so we’ll tell you if we think custom effects won’t make a difference for your project.
Quantity
Because of the initial setup costs associated with offset printing, the more pieces you print, the lower the cost per piece. It’s quite a bit cheaper to print a larger quantity once than half that quantity twice, so print as many as you think you can use before you’ll have to change the content of your piece.
Brochure Holders
Need a custom printed holder or display for your brochures? Try our brochure holders that can be custom printed to compliment your brochure and enhance your branding.
Brochure Mailing Services
Even the best-designed brochure won’t deliver results unless it reaches your audience. Direct mail remains a proven way to connect with customers.
If you’ve ever spent time addressing, stamping, and stuffing envelopes, you know how time-consuming it can be. Our equipment and processes allow us to handle mailing efficiently and at scale. We can insert pieces into envelopes, wafer seal catalogs, and prepare your mailing quickly—without the manual effort.
