Printed Brochures

The simplest type of brochure consists of a single sheet of paper or card, usually printed on both sides, and generally folded once or twice to give a few different 'pages'. (These pages are really just panels of the same sheet). If you are thinking of brochures like this, on an average thickness glossy paper, then we call this a leaflet, and you can find prices and plenty more on our leaflets page.

These diagrams show some possible formats:

If you like the idea of these single sheet (folded) brochures but want them printed on a thicker paper or card, then visit the four page brochures page.

The simple brochures described above can contain a maximum of 6 sides of A4 (or A5, or a third of A4). But perhaps you have more information to convey, or prefer the idea of a booklet-style format. Booklets ususally consists of a number of sheets of paper (two or more), which are folded and stapled in the centre, to provide at least eight pages (sides). They may feature a cover printed on thicker material than the inner pages.

Other formats such as spiral bound and perfect bound are available. You can see prices and further info on all these types of brochures on our booklets page.

These are the kind of brochure that consists of a printed outer folder, usually though not necessarily A4 size, with one or two 'pockets' on the inside into which you can inserts printed inner sheets, such as publicity material, price lists, a proposal letter etc. The inner sheets are normally quite straightforward; some you may produce yourself, other parts may be professionally printed and will probably be in the booklet or leaflet formats discussed above.

The outer part, with the pockets, we call 'presentation folders' and you can learn about them here.
