Fold a Flat Sheet Into a Whole Story
A Half Fold takes one printed sheet and creases it down the middle, so a flat page becomes a cover on the outside and an inside spread for the rest of the pitch. That fold is the whole point: more room than a flyer, a natural reading order, and a piece that stands up on a table or slots neatly into a rack. Folded brochures start at $57.11 for a set of 50, about $1.14 each, rated 4.8 out of 5 across 20 reviews. Whether you are folding a menu, an event program, a service list, or a product guide, it gives your message a front door and an interior.
They print full color on one or both sides, mail flat and open on arrival, and the fold splits your story into a cover and an inside spread for you. The flat, direct mail and travel brochures sit with the rest of the range on brochures printing; the choices for the folded brochure follow below.
A set of 50 at $57.11 covers a test run for one event or one counter rack. From there the per-brochure cost falls across 25 tiers toward 25,000, so a full campaign print costs far less per piece. The tiers below give the set total for each count.
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 chosen on this page.
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 the price changes with each choice. 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. The chart below lists every size, both folds, the 4 stocks and the finishes.
What paper stocks and finishes can you choose
A folded brochure runs on 4 stocks, three text weights and one card weight: 100# Gloss Text, 100# Silk/Matte Text, 70# Uncoated Text, and 14pt Gloss Cover. The finish is Standard or a High Gloss UV Coating, and the ink runs 4/0 with a blank back or 4/4, so the inside spread prints in full color as well.
The stock sets the feel in a reader's hand and how cleanly the fold sits. 100# Gloss Text gives photos bright, saturated color. 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.
Start from a layout in our brochure design templates and change the colors, copy and photos in the online editor, so both the cover and the inside panels line up with the fold. Keep headlines and faces off the center line, where the Half Fold creases the sheet.

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, it turns up in very different businesses. 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. If you are weighing a flat brochure, a mail-ready version, or a use-case build, the chart below sets folded brochures beside those siblings with the starting price of each.

Half Fold Against the Folds People Search For
This product runs No Folding or a Half Fold, which creases one printed sheet down the middle into a cover and an inside spread. That is the fold behind most menus, programs and service lists, and it is the one that sits in a rack without springing open.
The folds people name in a search work differently. A trifold splits the sheet into three panels, so a teaser sits between the cover and the full inside. A Z-fold accordions open panel by panel, which suits a sequence or a step by step. A gate fold opens from both sides onto a center panel. None of those is a Half Fold, and none of them runs on this product.
If your piece needs one of them, the Direct Mail Brochures carry the Half Fold, the Trifold and the Z-Fold on the same kind of sheet. If the sheet should stay flat, set the fold to No Folding here and it prints as a single panel.
Folded Brochures: Frequently Asked Questions
What fold options are available?
The folding choice is No Fold or Half Fold. A Half Fold creases the sheet down the middle so a flat page becomes a cover on the outside and an inside spread for the rest of the message.
What is scoring and do I need it?
Scoring presses a crease line into the sheet before it folds. It is worth adding on the heavier 14pt Gloss Cover, where an unscored fold can crack along the spine, and it sits alongside the folding choice in the ordering options.
What does a set of 50 folded brochures cost?
Fifty start at $57.11, about $1.14 each. The per brochure price drops across 25 tiers as the run climbs to 25,000, so a mailing and a small event stack price very differently.
What sizes can be folded?
Six sizes run from a rack ready 5.5 inch by 8.5 inch up to a large 11 inch by 25.5 inch flat sheet, with custom sizing up to 11 by 26. The size listed is the flat sheet, so a Half Fold halves it in the finished piece.
Can I print the inside panels?
Yes. Full color can run on the front with a blank back, or on both sides. Both sides is what you want when the inside spread carries the menu, the program, or the service list.
Which finish suits a folded piece?
You can leave it Standard or add a High Gloss UV Coating for a harder, shinier surface. Standard is the pick when someone writes on a panel, and the coating is the pick for a piece handled over and over.
Are tri-fold brochures outdated?
No, they are one format among several, and the right one follows the content rather than fashion. A trifold gives you six panels for an offer and the detail behind it. A Half Fold gives two large faces, which reads cleaner when the piece carries photographs or a menu. This product runs No Folding or a Half Fold, and the Direct Mail Brochures carry the trifold and the Z-fold.
How to make a folded brochure?
Pick the size from the 6 presets, from 5.5" x 8.5" up to 11" x 25.5", choose one of the 4 stocks, set ink to 4/0 for the front only or 4/4 for both sides, and add the Half Fold. Then download the blank template, built at the real trim size with the fold line, the bleed and the safe margin drawn in, so nothing crowds the crease. Take a Free Online Proof or a Next Day Hardcopy Proof before the full run prints.
