Create a one or two fold brochure to highlight your company story, services or products. They are perfect for use in trade shows, presentations or as takeaway menus.
One fold brochures are for example an A4 folded in half to a finished size of A5. Two fold brochures for example are A4 folded in thirds to a finished size of a DL.
Please ensure that you upload print ready PDFs.
A print ready PDF needs to be:
• High resolution (300dpi images)
• CMYK colours,
• 3mm of bleed on all sides,
• Trim marks supplied
If you are unable to supply as print ready PDF, we may be able to use other files and fix any that are not print ready.
Please Contact Us or send your file to us to verify if you are unsure.
If you need help or more information about what this means or how to setup your file, please see our Print Specifications page in the How it Works section on our website. You can also Contact Us for more information.

This is a good question, and gets asked a lot and the terms are often confused and misused.
Generally a flyer or a leaflet is a 1 page single sheet that is printed 1 or 2 sided.
A brochure is a sheet that is folded, whether it be in half or in thirds or multiple folds.
And then there are booklets, these are a bound book of multiple pages which have multiple sheets stapled or bound together to form a book or booklet.
Bleed is area where an image or object of colour runs off the edge of the page (leaving no white border). For Brochure printing, the minimum required bleed amount (or extra that the image or object passes over the edge of the page) is 3mm on each side.
For more information on bleed, visit our ‘Print Specifications’ page.
gsm means grams per square metre. The lower the gsm, the thinner the paper/card stock and the higher the gsm, the thicker the paper/card stock.
