Tri Fold Brochures

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a tri fold brochure?

An A4 sheet printed on both sides and folded twice into a DL sized piece. The two folds turn one sheet into six panels: a front cover, a back cover and four inside panels. It is also called a roll fold, a 6pp DL brochure or a pamphlet. Same thing.

Roll fold or Z fold, which should I pick?

Roll fold is the standard tri fold. The panels nest inside each other and the reader opens it like a book, one panel at a time, which suits content told in steps. Z fold opens flat in one pull so all three inside panels show at once, which suits maps, timetables and anything designed as one wide picture. Both cost the same.

Tri fold or half fold?

Tri fold folds to a slim DL panel that suits racks, counters, DL envelopes and letterboxes, with six smaller panels that guide the reader in order. Half fold gives four bigger pages that read like a booklet and suit menus, programs and photography. If your content is a list or a story told in steps, tri fold. If it needs room to breathe, half fold.

Which stock should I choose?

Gloss 150gsm is the standard brochure stock, bright colour at the sharpest price. Go 170gsm gloss or matt when you want it to feel more substantial, and matt when it will be read under bright lights or you want a more premium look. The 100gsm uncoated stock is light and writeable, right for order forms and reply panels.

Are both sides printed?

Yes, always. Every tri fold brochure is printed in full colour on both sides of the sheet, so all six panels carry print.

Is there a size other than A4 folded to DL?

Not on this page. A4 folded to DL is the standard tri fold and the one nearly everyone orders. If you need an A3 sheet folded to A4, a gate fold or a custom size, send the details through the Custom Quote tab and we will price it.

How much do tri fold brochures cost?

Prices are shown live on this page, ex GST, for every fold, stock and quantity, and they include delivery anywhere in Australia. Choose your options above to see the price. Larger quantities bring the unit price down sharply.

How fast will I get them?

Printing and folding takes approximately 3 to 4 working days after your artwork is approved and paid, and we confirm the dispatch date when you order. Delivery time after dispatch depends on the courier and your location, so please allow for that on a deadline job and tell us the date you are working to.

Can I upload my own artwork?

Yes. Upload a print-ready PDF when you order, or send it after. Set it up at the flat A4 size with the panel widths in the artwork guidelines tab. We check every file and send you a digital proof before printing. You get 2 free proofs.

Do you design them?

Yes. If you do not have print-ready artwork we can design the brochure for you. Send us your logo, your content and any photos through the Custom Quote tab and we will quote the design work with the print.
