Send a Brochure People Actually Open
A flat postcard says one thing; a direct mail brochure opens into panels and says the whole story. You get an offer on the cover, the details inside, and a call to action on the back, so a full message lands in a mailbox and actually gets read. Five hundred start at $238.73, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 61 reviews, whether you are farming a neighborhood with new listings, welcoming patients to a clinic, or mailing a menu to a loyalty list.
These folded mailers carry more than a card and still drop for a campaign-friendly price. You match the size to your envelope, pick the fold that stages your pitch, and print the front only or both sides. Want to see how they sit next to the rest of the lineup? Browse every style on brochures printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 500 starts at $238.73, and the per-brochure cost keeps sliding as the count goes up, so a full drop to a mailing list costs far less per piece than a small test batch. Tap any tier below to see the live total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.
What Is a Direct Mail Brochure?
A direct mail brochure is a folded, full-color brochure printed to be mailed to customers and prospects as a marketing piece. At 4OVER4.COM these print in 4 sizes from 8.5" x 11" up to 11" x 17", on any of 4 paper stocks, with 9 fold styles and full color on the front or both sides, all set in the live configurator.
Think of it as a mini catalog that arrives uninvited and still gets read. Instead of a single flat panel, a brochure opens up, so you have room for a headline offer, the details that back it, and a clear next step. You set the fold, pick your stock, choose the size, and print the front only or both sides, and the price updates live as you go. If you want the general version of the format, the Standard Brochures cover the same folds and stocks for any use, and the direct mail version is simply the one you build for a mailing.
How Much Do Direct Mail Brochures Cost?
Direct mail brochures start at $238.73 for 500, which works out to about $0.48 per brochure, and the per-brochure price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 25,000. There are 20 quantity tiers in all: 900 run $269.05, 4,000 run $472.41, and a full 25,000 run lands at $1,716.60, which is under 7 cents a brochure. A heavier cover stock, a two-sided print, or a 4 business day rush shift the total. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the run total and the true per-brochure cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
What Sizes and Folds Can a Direct Mail Brochure Have?
Direct mail brochures come in 4 flat sizes: 8.5" x 11", 8.5" x 14", 9" x 12", and 11" x 17", with 8.5" x 11" as the default. Each size folds into one of 9 styles, including Half Fold, Trifold and Z-Fold, so the finished piece fits a standard mailing envelope or mails as a self-mailer.
Size and fold work together to decide how the brochure reads. Start with the standard 8.5" x 11" sheet, the workhorse that trifolds into a classic three-panel mailer. Step up to 8.5" x 14" or 9" x 12" for more room, or go full 11" x 17" when you want a large spread that folds down to a mailable size. Then pick the fold: a Half Fold makes a simple two-panel card, a Trifold gives you six panels for an offer and details, and a Z-Fold accordions open for a step-by-step reveal, with 9 fold styles in all. If a single fold pattern is your whole focus, the Folded Brochures cover every crease in one place. Every size, fold and stock is grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
What Paper Stocks and Ink Can You Choose?
There are 4 paper stocks for direct mail brochures: 100# Gloss Text, 100# Silk/Matte Text, 70# Uncoated Text, and a heavier 100# Gloss Cover. The stock sets how the mailer feels in a hand and how it survives the trip. The 100# Gloss Text pops photos and color, the 100# Silk/Matte Text keeps a softer, easy-to-read surface, and the 70# Uncoated Text takes a pen if you want a coupon or a form to fill in. When you want a piece with real weight that stands up in a stack of mail, the 100# Gloss Cover is the heavy option. For ink you choose 4/0 to print full color on the front with a blank back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides so every panel carries your message.

How Fast Can You Get Direct Mail Brochures Printed?
Direct mail brochures print on a 6 business day standard turnaround, and when a drop date sneaks up you can move the whole run to a 4 business day rush. The standard keeps the price lowest, and the rush buys back time for a set amount on top of the base, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Before anything prints, you choose how to proof: send it Straight To Production if your file is ready, approve a free online proof on screen, or order a next-day hardcopy proof to hold the real stock and color in your hand first.
