Material and finish
Printed on standard gloss brochure paper for bright full-color images and a smooth sheen. Gloss is the only finish offered in this listing.
Inward tri-fold layout
An unfolded brochure measures 8.5 × 11 inches. Two folds create three panels on each side, giving you six content areas. Final fold-in allowance is confirmed on the physical production proof.
Artwork and fold setup
Design the outside and inside as separate full spreads. Extend backgrounds 0.125 inch past outer trim edges and keep essential text, QR codes and logos clear of the folds and trim. Studio's dashed fold guides are visual aids and do not print.
Production and proof
Review both sides and the panel order before approving. Regular handling is available at every listed quantity; Next Working Day handling is offered through 2,000 brochures after payment and final proof approval, subject to the shop's rush cutoff.
Frequently asked questions
How big is a tri-fold brochure?
It measures 8.5 × 11 inches when unfolded. Two inward folds create three panels on each side, or six printable panels in total.
Are all three panels the same width?
The fold-in flap is slightly narrower so the brochure closes cleanly. Use the dashed fold guides in Studio to position content and keep essential details away from each crease; confirm panel order on the final proof.
What paper and finish are available?
This listing uses standard gloss brochure paper with full-color printing on both sides. Gloss is the only finish offered here. Contact us before ordering if your job requires a particular paper weight.
Do the brochures arrive folded?
Yes. They are produced with two inward folds, ready to hand out or display.
How should I prepare the artwork?
Prepare separate outside and inside spreads at 11 × 8.5 inches final size. Extend backgrounds 0.125 inch beyond outer trim, use 300 DPI imagery, and keep text, logos and QR codes clear of trim and folds. Studio fold guides do not print.
Which quantities qualify for Next Working Day handling?
The 100, 250, 500, 1,000 and 2,000 quantities qualify after payment and final proof approval, subject to the shop's rush cutoff. The 5,000 quantity is Regular only.
