Description
Brochure Printing Singapore — Tri-Fold, Bi-Fold & Custom Folded Brochures
Offset-printed brochures for product catalogues, service menus, media kits, event programmes, and marketing campaigns. A brochure gives you more space than a flyer — multiple panels that unfold to reveal detailed information about your business, products, or services in a structured, professional format.
Our brochures are printed double-sided in full colour using offset lithographic printing, then machine-creased and folded for a clean, precise finish. Available in a wide range of sizes, paper stocks, and fold configurations.
Fold Types
- Letter Fold (C-Fold) — the most common brochure fold. The right panel folds inward first, then the left panel folds over it, creating three equal panels. Opens like a letter. The standard tri-fold brochure format used for product overviews, service summaries, menus, and general marketing.
- Accordion Fold (Z-Fold) — panels fold in alternating directions like a zigzag or concertina. Each panel is visible when the brochure is partially opened, making it easy to scan. Works well for step-by-step guides, timelines, process flows, and maps.
Both fold types produce a compact, pocket-friendly size when folded — ideal for handouts, rack displays, and letterbox distribution.
Available Sizes
Standard Sizes (sheet size before folding):
- A3 folded to A4 — a large brochure that folds down to A4 size. Generous space for detailed content, product images, and layouts with multiple sections.
- A4 folded to A5 — the most popular brochure size. Folds down to a convenient A5 for easy handling and distribution.
- A4 folded to DL — a tri-fold brochure that folds into DL size (99 mm × 210 mm). Fits standard DL envelopes and brochure rack holders. The go-to format for marketing brochures, service menus, and property flyers.
- A5 folded to A6 — a compact brochure ideal for quick-reference guides, event schedules, and small promotional handouts.
Long Brochure Sizes (for accordion/multi-panel layouts):
- 3 × A5 — three A5 panels in a row. A longer format with more panels for detailed content.
- 3 × A4 — three A4 panels. A large, expansive brochure with significant real estate for product ranges and catalogues.

Paper Stock Options
Lightweight (for mass distribution):
- 80 GSM Simili — thin, uncoated wood-free paper. The most economical option for high-volume brochure distribution like letterbox drops and trade show handouts.
- 128 GSM Art Paper — coated paper with good colour reproduction at a light weight. A popular cost-effective choice for brochures that need to look professional without being too thick.
Medium Weight:
- 157 GSM Art Paper — a versatile mid-weight coated paper with excellent print quality. The most commonly chosen stock for marketing brochures — substantial enough to feel professional without being heavy or rigid.
Heavyweight (for premium brochures):
- 260 GSM Art Card — thick card stock for brochures that need to feel premium and durable. Ideal for product catalogues, real estate brochures, and hospitality menus that will be handled frequently.
- 310 GSM Art Card — the thickest option. Rigid and luxurious. Best for high-end brochures, presentation pieces, and table-top menus.
Finishing Options
Finishing is available on 157 GSM, 260 GSM, and 310 GSM stocks:
- No finishing — standard coated or uncoated print
- UV Varnish (1-side or 2-side) — a clear protective coating that adds subtle sheen and smudge resistance
- Gloss Lamination (1-side or 2-side) — a glossy film for vibrant, saturated colours and a polished look
- Matt Lamination (1-side or 2-side) — a smooth matte film for an elegant, understated finish with fingerprint resistance
For 260 GSM and 310 GSM card, lamination is recommended to protect the print surface and add durability — especially for brochures that will be picked up and handled repeatedly.

Artwork Requirements

- Colour Mode: CMYK
- Resolution: Minimum 300 DPI
- Bleed: 3 mm on all sides
- For AI files: all text must be outlined and images embedded
