Half-Fold Brochure Printing

A half-fold brochure stands out for its attention-getting size. Also known as a single-fold or bi-fold, this style is ideal when you want to add lots of images. It gives you a wide space to show off your products and pictures. High-quality paper, clear text and sharp images are key to creating a great-looking brochure. You can count on us for advanced printing technology that delivers on all three counts.

How to Save Your Files for Print

To ensure the best print results, follow these file setup guidelines when preparing your artwork:

File Setup Checklist

Resolution: 300 dpi
Bleed: 1/8" (0.125") on all sides
Color Mode: CMYK (or spot colors when applicable)
File Format: PDF (with fonts embedded or outlined)

Important Notes

• Make sure images are not compressed (turn off downsampling when exporting)
• Backgrounds that touch the edge must extend 0.125" beyond the trim line (bleed)
• You may include crop marks, but do not include file names or timestamps — it can throw off the layout
• Embed or outline all fonts to ensure crisp, clean text and avoid font errors
