Q: How do I correctly fold my Half-Fold Brochures?

Check out our [guide](https://assets.ctfassets.net/wm1n7oady8a5/7KDXxbcZvAhFkQbVhzbb5T/a7e098ebb7f764705a051c9bce1806c5/Quick_Artwork_Guide_-_Folded_-_Paper_-_EN.pdf) to find out how best to fold your leaflets.

Q: Which production techniques do we use?

**Digital printing:** Uses four colours (CMYK) with toners and inks to print digital files. This option is comparable to a large home printer, and is cheaper than Litho printing for smaller quantities. This is because there are fewer starting costs, fewer components involved, and no ink drying time required.

Design guidelines

We recommend using our templates and guides for preparing your print-ready PDF.

You can download our guides and templates in the template section. Remember to delete the template layers before exporting your design to PDF.

If you already have a design, no worries; we accept other file formats, including JPEG, PNG, or EPS.

For photographic content, high-resolution JPEGs are recommended, preferably without compression. For graphics or text-based content, we recommend print-ready, vector-based PDFs. For content that is a combination of graphics and photography, we suggest using print-ready PDFs to ensure the best quality.

Add 0.125(in) bleed and keep 0.125(in) safety margin

During production, there might be a slight cut deviation. To avoid any issues, we recommend the following:

Add a 0.125 inch bleed around all edges of your design.
Keep important elements 0.125 inches away from the edge or folding lines.
Avoid using borders or frames on smaller formats like labels or business cards.

Use CMYK as the color mode.

Prepare your files using CMYK as the color mode, not RGB. Use color mode FOGRA39 (ISO Coated v2). If you are unsure of the color mode of your file, don't worry we can always convert this for you. Keep in mind this can cause the colours to differ from the original file.

Resolution of at least 300 dpi.

Make sure the resolution of the images and graphics in your artwork are at least 300 dpi.

Text and fonts specifications (Min. font size is 6 pt)

For this product, the minimum font size is 6 pt. To avoid any issues, we recommend the following:

Fonts must be embedded or outlined.
If your design contains small black text, make sure it is 100 % black (Cyan: 0 Magenta: 0 Yellow: 0 Black: 100).

Note that we don't check spelling or typographical errors.

Check line thickness.

Lines should be at least 0.25 pt. Negative lines should be at least 0.5 pt.

Check your artwork for overprint.

Make sure no elements in your artwork are set on overprint unless you want this effect in your design.

Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.

Force Color Images to CMYK with a 260% ink limit (in Photoshop > Convert Color Profile > Photoshop 5 Default CMYK). Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.

Make sure the alignment and the sequence of the sides are recognizable.

Make sure the alignment and the sequence of the sides are recognizable (we do not check your document in terms of content).

Half Fold Brochure Printing: A Versatile and Professional Marketing Tool

If you’re looking for a sleek and professional way to present your business, half fold brochures are an excellent choice. Also known as a bifold brochure, this format is ideal for showcasing company information, products, and services in an organized and visually appealing way. Whether for marketing, corporate presentations, or event promotions, a half fold brochure provides a perfect balance between simplicity and impact.

What Is a Half Fold Brochure?

A half fold brochure is a printed marketing piece that is folded once down the center, creating two equal panels. This simple yet effective design allows businesses to display information in a structured and easy-to-read format. Unlike other brochure types, such as trifold or Z-fold, the bi fold brochure offers a clean and elegant layout that works well for various industries.

Benefits of Half Fold Brochure Printing

1. Professional and Polished Look

A half fold brochure offers a refined and organized appearance, making it perfect for business presentations, product catalogs, and service menus. Its structured layout ensures that your content is easy to navigate.

__2. Ample Space for Content__

Unlike smaller marketing materials, a bifold brochure provides plenty of room to include images, text, and graphics. You can use the two panels strategically to highlight essential details about your business while maintaining a visually appealing design.

__3. Versatile and Multi-Purpose__

A half fold brochure is ideal for a wide range of applications, including corporate presentations, restaurant menus, event programs, real estate listings, and product promotions. Its flexible format allows businesses across various industries to use it effectively.

__4. Cost-Effective Marketing Tool__

Compared to digital ads, half fold brochure printing offers a one-time investment with long-lasting impact. Businesses can print in bulk and distribute brochures at trade shows, networking events, or direct mail campaigns without ongoing costs.

Choosing the Right Half Fold Brochure Size

Selecting the right half fold brochure size depends on your content and branding needs. The most common sizes include:

8.5” x 11” – Standard letter size, ideal for general business brochures.

5.5” x 8.5” –Compact size, great for small-scale promotions and handouts.

3.5” x 8.5” – Slim and sleek, ideal for menus, price lists, and concise marketing messages.

Choosing the right size ensures that your brochure effectively communicates your message without feeling cluttered.

Why Invest in Bifold Brochure Printing?

With high-quality bifold brochures, businesses can create impactful marketing materials that engage customers and drive brand awareness. Whether promoting a new product, detailing company services, or sharing important information, a half fold brochure remains a reliable and effective tool for any business.
