8.5x11 Half Fold Brochures

Half fold brochures can be used for practically anything. Promotional uses include menus, sales announcement and free offers. Menu items, event programs and awareness campaigns are other uses for 8.5.x11 half fold brochures. There are several things to consider in designing the perfect bi-fold brochure.

The best quality file to work with is the PDF. The PDF setting not only allows one to view the actual layout of the brochure if printed out, but it also accurately displays how the colors will translate into hard copies once printed. When working with publishing software like Publisher or InDesign, the finished copy should be saved in PDF format.

Considering the layout of the content to be added to the brochure is also important. Cramming too much content on the front of the document overwhelms the customer. Putting too much information on the back cover of the document increases the chances of important content being ignored. The most important content included in the brochure should appear within the second and third pages. If the reader is opening the brochure, the most important material is front and center.

Where the brochures will be handed out should determine the type of ink and paper to be used. If the plan is to place these half fold brochures outside on a stand or on the windshields of cars, then the paper selected should be uncoated to minimize chances of the ink smearing if it rains. Limiting the amount of coating on the brochure to only the external portion is another option because it protects the most important content in the brochure. If the brochures are going to be used in a formal setting, a glossy printing paper may make for a more elegant printout.

Selecting the right type of paper is especially important if images are to be used. Heavier, powerful images can be seen through the sheet. With a strong image on the outside of the brochure and a lot of text on the inside of a page, readability becomes a concern. Opacity should be closer to 100 percent if images and graphics are going to be featured on the external portion of the bi-fold brochures.

A company printing their first brochure can always request a proof or consultation with our graphics professionals for guidance on improvements that should be made to produce the best final product. The important content should be placed within the brochure and the proper finishes makes the brochures durable.
