Custom Brochure Printing Services
MMPrint produces custom folded brochures for businesses, healthcare providers, schools, restaurants, nonprofits, tourism organizations, service companies, and marketing teams nationwide. Brochures organize detailed information into a compact printed piece that customers can read, save, and share.
Use brochures to introduce a company, explain services, promote products, present program information, display menus, distribute maps, or support a sales campaign. Multiple sheet sizes, paper choices, and folding styles make it possible to match the finished brochure to the amount and structure of your content.
Choosing a fold is part of the design process. Select the finished size and folding style before creating artwork so every panel is positioned and sized correctly.
Available Brochure Sizes
- 8.5" × 11" – A versatile sheet size commonly used for compact half-fold and tri-fold brochures.
- 8.5" × 14" – Provides additional panel space for service lists, menus, schedules, and detailed marketing information.
- 11" × 17" – A larger format for visual presentations, product information, maps, programs, and content-heavy brochures.
Brochure Folding Options
- Half-Fold or Bi-Fold – The sheet folds once to create four panels: a front cover, back cover, and two interior panels. It works well for simple presentations and larger images.
- Tri-Fold – Two folds divide the sheet into six panels. This familiar format is useful for company overviews, service information, product promotions, and rack distribution.
- Double Parallel Fold – The sheet is folded in half and then folded again in the same direction, creating eight panels for content that needs to be presented in sections or sequence.
Brochure Paper Options
- 60 lb Uncoated Text – A lightweight, natural-feel paper suited to informational pieces and brochures that may need to be written on.
- 70 lb Uncoated Text – Offers slightly more substance while retaining an uncoated, writable surface.
- 80 lb Gloss Text – A smooth coated paper that works well for colorful graphics, photographs, and general marketing brochures.
- 100 lb Gloss Text – A heavier text-weight stock with a substantial feel and a smooth surface for image-rich designs.
- Cover-Weight Options – Available through the online calculator for brochures that require a firmer, more substantial finished piece.

Brochure Design Tips
- Download the correct template – Build the artwork for the selected sheet size and fold rather than dividing every panel evenly by assumption.
- Plan the reading order – Arrange headlines and content according to how the brochure opens and unfolds.
- Allow for fold adjustments – Some folding styles require one panel to be slightly narrower so it can tuck inside properly.
- Keep text away from folds – Leave comfortable margins around fold lines so words and important graphics remain easy to read.
- Include bleed – Extend backgrounds and images beyond the trim line when they are intended to reach the finished edge.
- Use print-quality images – Supply photographs and graphics at suitable resolution for their intended printed dimensions.
- Keep the cover focused – Use a clear headline, recognizable branding, and a reason for the reader to open the brochure.
- Finish with a clear next step – Include useful contact information and a specific call to action.
Brochures for Mailing
Folded brochures can also be prepared for direct-mail campaigns. The finished dimensions, fold orientation, address area, paper, sealing method, and postal layout should be determined before the artwork is completed. Request a custom quote when printing, addressing, tabbing, or mailing services are needed.
