Brochure Printing
We offer a variety of brochure printing options, including fully customized designs like gatefold, accordion fold, bi-fold, tri-fold, and more. At QinPrinting, we deliver high-quality brochures with professionalism and creativity, serving businesses, non-profits, and educational institutions worldwide, while providing a range of paper stocks and finishes to fit your budget.
Brochure Folds and Styles
Your choice of paper and any special touches will depend on your brochure’s style, format, fold, and your personal taste. Given such a considerable array of choices, we’re happy to help you pick the best flyer folding option for your needs. Let’s have a quick look at the possibilities.
Our most popular brochure folds are:
4-Page Standard Fold
Also called a bi-fold or half-fold, this uses a single crease to create a mini-brochure with four pages—a front, two interior sides, and a back.
Tri-Fold
Two folds creating three equal panels which fold up as flaps like a traditional business letter.
6-Page Accordion Fold
Like the tri-fold but with the panels folded back in opposite directions to create the classic “accordion” style.
8-Page Roll Fold
This has three folds creating eight printable panels which fold over each other as if the paper were being “rolled” up.
8-Page Gatefold
Two folds at the quarter lines create gate-like panels that close over the central interior panel.
8-Page Parallel Fold
Three folds make eight pages, using the central fold to allow the two-panel sets either side to tuck one inside the other.
French Fold
One horizontal fold across the length of the sheet, folded, and then another vertical fold to create a double layer with a hidden interior.
16-Page Broadsheet Fold
The same principle as the French fold but with three vertical folds creating a multi-page concertina effect.
An excellent way to make your brochure stand out from the crowd is to use a process called die-cutting to make custom shapes. A die cutter is like an industrial scale cookie cutter but made to cut paper not cookies! We can prepare a mold to cut out a section of the paper, create a “silhouette” design, or other effects. As we already use the die-cutter in creating brochures, we can get creative with it at only a marginal extra cost. Talk to us about the possibilities if you’re interested in this option.

Brochure Size Options
You want your brochures to make a fantastic impression. Someone browsing your stand at a trade fair, picking up a copy in-store, or sifting through their direct mail, is more likely to check it out if it’s eye-catching and distinctive. QinPrinting offers a complete range of finishing options to make your brochures unique.
Among other options, the most popular choices include:
Lamination & Varnish
We recommend that you laminate your brochures if they have several folds and thicker paper as this will make sure they don’t tear and that the surface still looks good. You can laminate on one or both sides.
Surface Finishes
The finish options in the quote calculator are available for gold or silver foil stamping up to 5.9″ x 1.18″, and embossing or spot UV treatment for areas up to 7.87″ x 1.96″. If you need a larger area of special finish, please contact us.
You can also order one of our sample books on this page to explore the different finishes and foil stamping colors.
We can also incorporate a custom die-cut into your brochure to increase its visual impact. With die-cutting, we machine-cut a shape out of the material with a sort of industrial cookie cutter. For example, to create a ‘window’ to the illustration underneath the top fold or to make your company name or logo more visually striking.

QinPrinting Rated Excellent for Brochure Printing
From start to finish, Jane was incredibly informative and helpful.
Also great communication.
My books arrived, and are beautiful!
Jane was prompt and had GREAT attention to detail were exceptional. Most of my emails were answered within 24 hours, and Jane went above and beyond by sending pictures, samples, and clear explanations to help me understand all the technical aspects of book printing. She even reviewed my proofs thoroughly and pointed out a few important adjustments I needed to make to my PDF files.
Shipping was faster than expected, and when I compared the final copies from Qin Printing with those from IngramSpark, Qin’s quality was far superior. The materials looked more polished; paper is higher quality, and the print was crisper. Each book was carefully wrapped.
I ended up saving 75% of my printing budget, and communicating in English was no issue at all. It felt like Jane cared about the project as much as I did. I can’t recommend her and Qin Printing enough. Thank you so much for helping bring my book to life!

Laminating involves applying a transparent plastic film on top of printed materials to preserve, protect, and enhance their appearance. All types of lamination can affect the final appearance of printed colors, but each one minimizes issues such as smudging, creasing, fading, wrinkling, wear, and tearing. Particularly for folded brochures, it can prevent splitting along the folds.
Please note that we can only laminate matte/gloss art paper weighing over 105gsm.
