Political Brochures

These pieces carry a whole campaign. They print full color on 4 stocks, fold flat or in half, and come in sizes from a pocket handout to a fold-out voter guide, so one design covers the door, the mailbox, and the literature table. To compare the political version with the rest of the range, browse every style on brochures printing, or build yours from the choices below.

Campaigns order by the precinct or by the district, and the per-brochure cost falls as the count rises. A set of 50 for a test mailing or one house party starts at $57.11, and the tiers below run up to 25,000 for a district drop, so you can match the run to your walk list or voter file and read the total for each step.

What Are Political Brochures

A political brochure is a flat or folded printed piece a campaign uses to introduce a candidate, explain a platform, or push a ballot measure. At 4OVER4 they print full color in 6 sizes from 5.5" x 8.5" up to 11" x 25.5", on any of 4 stocks, flat or with a half fold. It is the field team's handout at the door, the mailer that lands before election day, and the piece stacked on the literature table at a town hall. You print it full color on the front with a blank back, or full color on both sides, pick the stock and size, choose to run it flat or half-folded, and the total changes with each choice. If you want the fold format on its own, the Folded Brochures cover that; this political version is sized for the canvass, the mailbox and the literature table, with optional perforation for a pledge or RSVP card.

What Size and Fold Should a Political Brochure Be

Pick the size by where the brochure goes. A 5.5" x 8.5" piece is the pocket handout for door-to-door canvassing, easy to carry by the hundred. Step up to 8.5" x 11" or 8.5" x 14" for a fuller platform with room for a record, a bio, and a call to action. The 9" x 12" and the large 11" x 25.5" formats open into spreads for voter guides, endorsement lists, or a side-by-side on the issues. Run it flat when you want a single readable panel, or add a half fold to turn one sheet into a four-page piece with a cover. For a shape that is not on the list, set a custom size up to 11" x 26". The specs panel below lists all 6 sizes, both finishes, the fold options and the 4 stocks.

Three choices decide how a political brochure works in the field.

Pick a stock that fits the job

The stock sets the feel in a voter's hand. The 100# Gloss Text gives photos and color a bright finish on a glossy mailer, the 100# Silk/Matte Text reads clean and easy for a text-heavy platform, and the 70# Uncoated Text takes a pen so a supporter can jot a poll date. When you want real presence in the mailbox, the heavier 14pt Gloss Cover holds up, and a High-Gloss UV Coating puts a hard shine on a cover photo.

Build in a tear-off card

Turn on perforation and the brochure gets a tear-off section, so a supporter can rip off a pledge card, an RSVP, or a donation slip and keep or return it. Pair it with full color on both sides and a half fold, and one piece both makes the case and collects the response.

Design it without a designer

A field volunteer can set this piece up in the online editor. Start from a layout in our brochure design templates, then change the colors, the copy and the candidate photo to match the campaign. Bi-fold, tri-fold, and other fold layouts are ready for a platform, a slate of endorsements or a ballot measure summary.

If your designer already built the artwork, skip the editor and download a press-ready blank. Each blank political brochure template is built at the real trim size with the bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut or the fold. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

How Much Do Political Brochures Cost

Political brochures start at $57.11 per 50, and the per-brochure price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 25,000, so a cheap brochure really comes down to how big a run you order. A run of 500 is $155.97, 1,000 is $180.13, and a full campaign run of 25,000 is $1,119.25, which works out to about 4.5 cents each. There are 25 quantity tiers in all, so you can size the order to a single precinct or an entire district. Set the slider below to your precinct count to read the total and the per-brochure cost, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget. Working against a fixed budget? 4OVER4's Price Match beats a real competitor quote by an extra 10% - the 110% price-match guarantee.

Can You Print Both Sides or Add a Tear-Off

Yes to both. For ink you choose 4/0, full color on the front with a blank back for a simple flyer, or 4/4, full color on both sides when every panel counts. Add perforation and the piece carries a tear-off pledge, RSVP, or donation card built right in. Finish plain with a Standard coat or add a High-Gloss UV Coating for a polished cover, and a single brochure starts doing the work of a handout, a mailer, and a response card at once.

How Do Political Brochures Compare to the Rest of the Range

Political brochures cover the canvass, the mailbox and the literature table with one piece. A brochure built to mail at volume and one aimed at a cause audience each start at their own price. The chart below lines up political brochures against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

See How a Finished Brochure Lands

Before you choose between 100# Gloss Text for a photo mailer and 70# Uncoated Text for a piece supporters write on, look at real work. The gallery below collects brochures printed in-house across different sizes, stocks and finishes, so you can borrow a layout and see how a choice reads once it is folded. Tap any print to see it larger.

How Fast Can You Get Political Brochures

Political brochures print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when a debate, a rally, or a mail deadline sneaks up you can move that to 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production out of the New York plant. Same-Day orders need to be approved by the daily cutoff to ship that afternoon. Before it prints you choose how to check the file: send it straight to production, approve a free online proof, or order a next-day hardcopy proof to see the real ink on the real stock. 99.8% of 4OVER4 orders land on time and 82% ship early, so the date is not a gamble when it matters most. Need it in a hurry? See same day printing.

How a Campaign Outside New York Orders Political Brochures

Most of the campaigns printing here never visit the plant. The order is built on this page: pick the size, the stock, flat or half fold, 4/0 or 4/4 ink, and perforation if you want a tear-off card, and the price updates as you go. Upload your file, then choose how to check it: straight to production, a free online proof on screen, or a next-day hardcopy proof on the real stock.

Production is 3 business days as standard, with 2-day, Next-Day and Same-Day out of the New York plant when a debate or a mail drop is close, and Same-Day orders need to be approved by the daily cutoff. Add shipping transit on top of the production time when you set the date.
