Folded Brochures

These pieces earn their keep. They print full color on one or both sides, they mail flat and open on arrival, and the fold does half the design work by splitting your story into panels. Want to see how folded brochures sit next to the rest of the range? Browse every option on brochures printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 50 starts at $57.11, and the per-brochure cost keeps sliding as the count climbs toward 25,000, so a full campaign print costs far less per piece than a small test batch. Tap any tier below to see the live set total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.

What is a folded brochure?

A folded brochure is a printed sheet creased into panels so it opens like a small booklet, used to lay out a menu, a program, a service list, or a product guide. At 4OVER4.COM folded brochures print full color on one or both sides in 6 sizes from 5.5" x 8.5" to 11" x 25.5", on any of 4 stocks, with a No Fold or Half Fold, finish, proofing, and turnaround all set in the live configurator.

Think of it as a flat sheet that turns into a cover and an inside spread. A Half Fold creases one printed sheet down the middle, so you get a front panel to catch attention and interior panels to tell the rest of the story. That fold is what separates a folded brochure from a flat flyer: more room, a natural reading order, and a piece that stands up on a table or slots into a rack. You set the size, choose one of 4 stocks, pick full color on the front only (4/0) or on both sides (4/4), add the Half Fold, and watch the price update live as you build it. If you want the flat, unfolded version instead, the Standard Brochures cover that, and the folded piece sits right beside it as the version that opens.

What sizes and folds can a folded brochure be?

4OVER4.COM folded brochures come in 6 sizes, from 5.5" x 8.5" up to 11" x 25.5", with a default of 5.5" x 8.5" and custom sizing up to 11" x 26". Folding options are No Folding or a Half Fold, which creases the flat sheet into a two-panel piece. Named sizes include 5.5" x 8.5", 8.5" x 11", 8.5" x 14", and 9" x 12".

Size sets the job, and the fold sets the format. A 5.5" x 8.5" sheet is the rack-ready classic that fits a lobby or counter display. Step up to 8.5" x 11" or 8.5" x 14" when you need room for a full menu or a detailed spread, or go to 9" x 12" and beyond for a large sheet up to 11" x 25.5" that folds down to a generous brochure. Add the Half Fold and a flat sheet becomes a two-panel piece with a cover and an inside, the shape people expect from a brochure. If a preset is not exactly right, set a custom size up to 11" x 26" in the configurator, and the price follows the size and fold you pick. Every size, both folds, the full stock list and the finishes are 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 finishes can you choose?

4OVER4.COM offers 4 paper stocks for folded brochures: 100# Gloss Text, 100# Silk/Matte Text, 70# Uncoated Text, and 14pt Gloss Cover. Finish options are Standard Finish or High Gloss UV Coating. Ink prints 4/0, full color on the front with a blank back, or 4/4, full color on both sides.

The stock sets the feel in a reader's hand and how cleanly the fold sits. 100# Gloss Text gives photos a bright, saturated pop. 100# Silk/Matte Text reads softer and cuts glare, which helps when there is a lot of copy across the panels. 70# Uncoated Text is the natural, writable option that takes a pen. 14pt Gloss Cover is a stiffer card weight for a folded piece that holds its shape in a rack. Add a High Gloss UV Coating for a glossy, wipe-clean shell, or keep it Standard. Then set ink to 4/0 for a front-only print or 4/4 for full color on both sides.

You do not need a design background to make a folded brochure look sharp. Start from a professionally built layout in our brochure design templates, then change the colors, copy and photos in the online editor in minutes so both the cover and the inside panels line up with the fold.

Each folded brochure blank template is built at the real trim size with the fold line, the bleed and the safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the crease or the cut.

How fast can you get folded brochures printed?

4OVER4.COM prints folded brochures on 4 turnaround speeds, from Same Day out of the New York City facility to a standard 3 business days, with Next Day and 2 Business Days in between. Order by the daily cutoff and a Same Day job ships that afternoon. You choose the speed in the configurator, and faster options adjust the price.

A deadline can arrive faster than the print schedule. Same Day production exists for exactly that, so order by the cutoff and your folded brochures ship the same afternoon from the New York plant. If the timeline is roomier, Next Day and 2 Business Days sit in the middle, and the standard 3 business days keeps the price lowest. Four speeds, one dropdown, and 99.8% of 4OVER4 orders land on time with 82% shipping early, so you are not gambling on the arrival date before an event or a mailing.

What do businesses use folded brochures for?

Folded brochures work for menus, event programs, service and price lists, product guides, real estate sheets, and mailers. The Half Fold turns a flat sheet into a cover-and-inside piece, optional perforation adds a tear-off coupon or reply slip, and a Free Online Proof or Next Day Hardcopy Proof confirms color before the full run prints.

Because a folded brochure opens, racks, and mails, businesses of every kind reach for it. Restaurants fold a menu that stands on a table. Event planners lay out a program. Agents fold a property sheet with photos inside. Retailers spell out a product line, and nonprofits tell a story across the panels. Turn on perforation to add a tear-off coupon, RSVP, or response slip, and choose Straight To Production, a Free Online Proof, or a Next Day Hardcopy Proof so the color is right before thousands print. If you want us to mail them for you, the Direct Mail Brochures add addressing and postage to the same folded piece, and the Travel Brochures are the same format tuned for destination guides and racks.

How do folded brochures compare to the rest of the range?

Folded brochures are the value pick when you want a cover and an inside on one affordable sheet, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a flat brochure, a mail-ready version, or a use-case build, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up folded brochures against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
