Description
Brochure Printing Singapore — Tri-Fold, Bi-Fold & Custom Folded Brochures
We print offset brochures for product catalogues, service menus, media kits, event programmes, and marketing campaigns. A brochure gives you more room than a flyer. The panels unfold to lay out detailed information about your business, products, or services in a structured, professional format.
Brochures are printed double-sided in full colour using offset lithographic printing, then machine-creased and folded for a clean, precise finish. You can pick the size, paper stock, and fold from the options below.
Fold Types
- Letter Fold (C-Fold) — the most common brochure fold. The right panel folds inward first, then the left panel folds over it, giving you three equal panels that open like a letter. This is the standard tri-fold format used for product overviews, service summaries, and menus.
- Accordion Fold (Z-Fold) — panels fold in alternating directions, like a zigzag or concertina. Each panel shows when the brochure is partly open, so it’s easy to scan. Works well for step-by-step guides, timelines, process flows, and maps.
Both fold types come down to a compact, pocket-friendly size once folded — handy 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. Generous space for detailed content, product images, and layouts with several sections.
- A4 folded to A5 — our most popular brochure size. Folds down to a convenient A5 for easy handling and distribution.
- A4 folded to DL — a tri-fold that folds into DL size (99 mm × 210 mm). Fits standard DL envelopes and brochure rack holders. A common pick for marketing brochures, service menus, and property flyers.
- A5 folded to A6 — a compact brochure suited to 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 plenty of room for product ranges and catalogues.
- 4 × A5 — four A5 panels. Suited to step-by-step guides, process maps, and extended content.
- 4 × A4 — four A4 panels. The largest brochure option for maximum content space.
Paper Stock Options
Lightweight (for mass distribution):
- 80 GSM Simili — thin, uncoated wood-free paper. The most economical option for high-volume distribution like letterbox drops and trade show handouts.
- 128 GSM Art Paper — coated paper with good colour reproduction at a light weight. A cost-effective choice for brochures that should look professional without being too thick.
Medium Weight:
- 157 GSM Art Paper — a mid-weight coated paper with strong print quality. The stock most people choose for marketing brochures: substantial enough to feel professional, but not heavy or rigid.
Heavyweight:
- 260 GSM Art Card — thick card stock for brochures that need to feel solid and durable. Good for product catalogues, real estate brochures, and hospitality menus that get handled often.
- 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 rich, saturated colours and a polished look
- Matt Lamination (1-side or 2-side) — a smooth matte film for an understated finish with fingerprint resistance
On 260 GSM and 310 GSM card, we recommend lamination to protect the print surface and add durability, especially for brochures that get picked up and handled repeatedly.

Artwork Requirements
- File Format: PDF, AI, PSD, JPG, PNG
- Colour Mode: CMYK
- Resolution: Minimum 300 DPI
- Bleed: 3 mm on all sides
- For AI files: all text must be outlined and images embedded
- Submit artwork at the full open (unfolded) size with fold lines clearly indicated
