Question

What size should I specify for a folded brochure?

Answer

On the order form you enter the finished size after folding, not the flat sheet size. The flat dimension is only for setting up your artwork file.

  • Order form: enter the folded, finished size.
  • Example: a flat 8.5" x 11" sheet with a half fold finishes at 8.5" x 5.5".
  • Your art file: stays built at the full flat size with bleed.

Matching the folded size on the order and the flat size in your file keeps the quote, the fold, and the final piece all lined up.
