Brochure printing is a staple marketing strategy for good reason. Hand these out at a trade show, display them at your store counter, or give them away at a pop-up store event.
The best brochure designs maximize the available space and number of panels. Choose a size that will bring out the details of your images and clearly communicate your text.The standard sizes below measure the entire brochure before folding:

Our brochure printing service offers four premium paper stock options. The 70 lb. and 80 lb. stock are both lightweight and easy to hand out at events. We also have a 100 lb. paper stock that’s thicker and more durable. The 10 lb. cardstock is slightly thicker and more durable than paper.
Note: Both paper and 10 pt. cardstock are folded before shipment. Read up on paper and cardstock here.
Our gloss and matte coating options bring out particular details of your images and text. Gloss coating on both sides adds some shine without glaring against the light. If you need the colors to pop and don’t mind the extra shine, select the high gloss UV coating. Brochures with high UV coating can also withstand repeated handling. Matte coating has a satin-like texture and its smooth surface keeps the customer reading through several images and a lot of text.

10 Tips for Creating Your Brochure
What does “printing turnaround” mean?
"Printing turnaround" is the number of days allotted to print your order, but it does not include weekends and holidays. Shipping transit time is not included in turnaround time.
What printing and shipping options should I choose for a rush order?
Select “Ready Today” as your printing turnaround so that the design will be ready on the day itself. After selecting this, enter your ZIP code under “Delivery Options” to get an estimate and see the fastest shipping times for your order. You can choose from one-day delivery dates. Some locations have next day pickup dates available as well.
What is the difference between gloss and high gloss UV coating?
High gloss UV has a high shine finish that appears wet when applied on deep, dark colors like black and blue. The high gloss UV coating is abrasion resistant and able to withstand frequent handling. Gloss coating also has a shiny surface and reflects light off your design. Unlike high gloss UV, however, gloss coating absorbs dust, fingerprints, and smudges.

Why should I use the free proof?
Selecting the free proof lets you check the design before it is printed. We highly recommend this for individuals under a rushed timeline or those with specific printing concerns on their file. It’s also recommended to customers who are new to getting designs printed or using NextDayFlyers. Our customer service team will be available to address any concerns regarding the proof.
