Emails were responded to quickly by Susan.
The whole process was smooth and straightforward.
What a delight!
Whenever I have a creative idea, their team goes above and beyond to help bring it to life. I’ve printed four comic books with them, and each time, they’ve exceeded my expectations. If you’re considering a printer, take a chance on these friendly, reliable folks—they truly value your business. - Chad Townsend, Creator of The Black Phantom.
But working with Nelson was an absolute pleasure. He patiently addressed all my concerns, and my final printed book was just as I would hope it would be.
Brochure Folds and Styles
Your choice of paper and any special touches will depend on your brochure’s style, format, fold, and your personal taste. Given such a wide range of options, we’re happy to help you pick the best folding style for your needs. Let’s have a quick look at the possibilities.
Our most popular brochure folds are:
4-page Standard Fold
Also called a bi-fold or half-fold, this uses a single crease to create a mini-brochure with four pages—a front, two interior panels, and a back.
Tri-fold
Two folds creating three equal panels which fold up like a traditional business letter.
6-page Accordion Fold
Similar to the tri-fold but with the panels folded back in opposite directions to create the classic “accordion” style.
8-page Roll Fold
This has three folds creating eight printable panels which fold over each other as if the paper were being “rolled” up.
8-page Gatefold
Two folds at the quarter lines create gate-like panels that close over the central interior panel.
8-page Parallel Fold
Three folds make eight pages, using the central fold to allow the two-panel sets either side to tuck one inside the other.
8-page French Fold
One horizontal fold across the length of the sheet, then another vertical fold to create a double layer with a hidden interior.
16-page Broadsheet Fold
The same principle as the French fold but with three vertical folds creating a multi-page concertina effect.
An excellent way to make your brochure stand out is to use a process called die-cutting to create custom shapes. A die cutter is like an industrial-scale cookie cutter but made to cut paper, not cookies! We can prepare a mould to cut out sections of the paper, create “silhouette” designs, or other effects. Since we already use the die-cutter in brochure production, we can get creative with it at only a marginal extra cost. Talk to us about the possibilities if you’re interested.
We recommend laminating your brochures if they have multiple folds and thicker paper, as this will help prevent tearing and keep the surface looking great. You can laminate one or both sides.
Brochure Size Options
Offset printing gives you great-looking brochures with faithful colour or black-and-white image reproduction, plus a noticeable price advantage over digital printing on longer print runs. You can choose from a range of sizes. Common brochure sizes include:
Looking for a different size? No problem—custom sizes are available on request!
Paper Options for Flyers
You have many options for paper stock to print your brochure at QinPrinting. Brochures with photographs look best on gloss or matte cover paper, as these have a high-quality finish that delivers first-class image reproduction, while uncoated paper may be suitable if your brochure is mainly text.

Special Finishes, Lamination, and Foil Stamping
You want your brochures to make a fantastic impression. Whether someone is browsing your stand at a trade show, picking up a copy in-store, or sorting through their direct mail, they’re more likely to take notice if it’s eye-catching and distinctive. QinPrinting offers a complete range of finishing options to make your brochures truly unique.
Among other options, the most popular choices include:
Shiny and reflective, perfect for vibrant graphics and photos.
Glossy highlights on specific areas for a striking contrast.
Smooth and non-reflective for a simple yet professional design.
Similar to matte lamination, but the resulting surface has a delightful, almost velvet feel.
A glossy finish applied to specific areas for a bold and distinct look.
Metallic or pigmented foil for a shiny, eye-catching effect.
Raised designs for added texture and elegance.

Brochure Design and Artwork Tips
Whether you’re preparing your own artwork in-house or commissioning a professional designer to do it for you, it’s important to understand how to prepare the artwork and text for printing. You’ll need to allow for bleed zones, safety areas, trim lines, and borders, for example, and ensure that the resolution and colour space are correct.
Export your files as vectors in PDF format for the best results. Our recommended software for flyer design are Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign. These will also allow you to convert your colour space from RGB to CMYK, which you'll need to do for offset printing.
If you can't deliver vectors — for example, if you're exporting bitmaps from Photoshop — then ensure the resolution is at least 300 dpi. With vectors, you don't need to worry about resolution, but all other images must have a high definition to tolerate resizing without becoming fuzzy or "pixelated".
You'll need to add a bleed zone of 3 mm around all your photographic images and artwork. A bleed is an extended area around the edges of your images, which falls outside the area your finished panel will cover. Once we've printed your flyers, we'll cut them to the exact size needed for your chosen format. This "bit extra" gets trimmed off and ensures the finished image fills the sheet without any white edges.
Inside your bleed zone, don't forget to mark the trim lines. These define the final dimensions of the finished flyer. Make sure that any important elements of your images stop at least 5 mm inside the trim line.
A competent graphic designer should understand these technical details and be able to set this up for you. But we’ll always manually check your files before going to press. While the responsibility for sending “print-ready” files is yours, please don’t worry! We’ll be happy to guide you through the process, explain what’s needed, and liaise with your designer to make sure everything goes smoothly so you end up with a perfect print every time.
