Printing Brochures

Brochures are found just about everywhere and provide an inexpensive and accessible means of spreading information about a business, civic group, or professional individual. While printing your own brochure might seem difficult, there are multiple online and local printing companies that can assist in designing and printing as many or as few brochures as needed quickly. A shopper should look for good quality paper, color ink, an easy to use design interface with ready-to-use templates. Larger orders can be bundled for easier storage and breaking up the shipment. Some of the online printers that offer all the needed services are UPrinting, 48HourPrint.com, VistaPrint, and PrintRunner. Read on to learn more.

  1. How much does it cost to print brochures?
    Reply

    You can spend as little as $0.07 per brochure when you buy 1000 copies from UPrinting with printing on only a single side. However, if you want high-quality design, paper, and color, the cost can be as high as $1.22 per unit. If price is no problem, check out your local printing center to work with a salesperson who can help with the design.

    It is possible to order as few as 100 brochures, but the real bargains start happening when you order 1000 or more. Printrunner.com offers 2000 basic brochures for just $39. That can be a good option for a flyer that will likely be discarded.

  4. Does it cost more to use multiple colors?
    Reply

    Most of your bargain brochure packages, like that $39 deal from Printrunner.com, will include up to 4 colors to be used on the front, but not inside. Expect your pricing to increase when you opt for full color on the inside and outside of the brochure. Look to pay upwards of $170 at Printrunner for 2000 brochures and $221 at UPrinting.

  5. Is it possible to upload your own brochure design?
    Reply

    If your marketing department created their own design, most online printers offer the ability to upload the design. You will have the chance to go back and edit the original file if the preview doesn't look quite right. If you are not sure about designing your own, look for an easy to use template like those on 48HourPrint.com.

  6. Can brochures be printed on heavier more professional paper?
    Reply

    Your least expensive brochures are printed on 80 lb. glossy white paper, which is thicker than your typical 20 lb. paper used for daily printing, but can feel cheap. For a doctor's, lawyers, or other upscale business looking to impress with your marketing material, use 100 lb. paper or even cardstock for a handout that feels like it is something that should be kept.

  7. Can the brochure reflect the style of an established brand?
    Reply

    If you have ordered your business cards from a printer like VistaPrint, it's a good idea to order your brochures from the same place. The print quality, colors, fonts, and templates will all appear similar, giving your marketing materials a polished appearance. If you order from a different printer, make sure to upload your logo and use the same font for your business name that appears on your existing stock.

  8. Is it possible to have the brochures bundled?
    Reply

    Yes. When you order large quantities of brochures, UPrinting can have them shrink-wrapped during the printing process in bundles of 25, 50, or 100. This helps you to stack unused product neatly in a cabinet without having them fall everywhere. This can help make shipping out bundles to multiple locations easier, as well. There is an added cost, but well worth the fee for many busy professionals.
