Question

What size should my brochure be?

Answer

The most common brochure size is 8.5 x 11 before folding. Tri-folded, it fits #10 envelopes and standard brochure racks, which makes it the safe default for most projects. Larger and smaller formats have their place depending on how the piece will be used.

Flat sizeBest for
8.5 x 11Standard tri-fold, mailers, rack display
11 x 17Event guides, portfolios, product showcases
5.5 x 8.5Quick-reference handouts and compact pieces

Pick based on how much content you have and whether the piece needs to mail or sit in a rack.
