FAQs - Brochures
What are brochures?
Brochures are informational pamphlets designed to provide a targeted audience with information about a particular product, service, or cause.
They usually feature attractive visuals and text that is organized into categories and sections. Brochures can be distributed in print or digitally as PDFs.
What is the difference between a brochure and a pamphlet?
The main distinction between a brochure and a pamphlet lies in their design. Brochures tend to be larger in size, printed on glossy or textured paper, and have more pages than pamphlets.
Brochures typically feature more detailed information than pamphlets by way of images, graphics, and text that are carefully laid out to create an attractive presentation of the product or topic they cover.
Pamphlets are much smaller in size and generally have fewer pages with less detailed content than brochures. They are usually printed on standard bond paper with minimal design elements.
What is the difference between a brochure and a flyer?
The main difference between a brochure and a flyer is in their format. Brochures are usually larger in size (typically 8-12 pages) and use high-quality printing on textured or glossy paper to create an appealing visual presentation of their content.
Flyers, on the other hand, typically come as single sheets of paper with simple design elements that present basic information about the topic at hand. Unlike brochures, flyers usually don't include detailed information but rather focus on grabbing the attention of potential customers quickly.
Which should I choose for my marketing needs – brochures or flyers?
This decision depends on your particular marketing goals and budget.
If you have plenty of time to create detailed content that can be used across multiple formats then you may want to opt for creating both types as part of your overall strategy – this will give you maximum flexibility when it comes to targeting different audiences with varied messaging.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for something quick and easy then flyers will likely be the better choice as they’re cheaper to produce and easier to distribute than brochures.
What is the difference between a brochure and a catalog?
Brochures and catalogs are both marketing materials, but there are some important differences to keep in mind.
Brochures provide a more concise overview of a product or service and will typically include less information than a catalog, which is more comprehensive.
A brochure may include attractive images and graphics, as well as short descriptions of the product or services being offered, while a catalog usually provides detailed descriptions of the products along with technical specifications.
Additionally, brochures can often be printed on lighter paper stock than catalogs which typically require thicker paper stocks that can better support heavier images and text.
From a logistics standpoint, brochures are often smaller in size than catalogs and easier to carry around or mail out.
What design ideas should I use for my brochure?
When designing a brochure you should keep your target audience in mind and create an eye-catching layout with plenty of white space. Try to incorporate visual elements such as illustrations, photos, and icons that will draw readers into the content. You may also want to consider adding unique typography and colors that reflect your brand's identity.

Absolutely! We offer a selection of beautiful images and patterns specifically chosen to add color or texture to the background of your design. Just select one from our library and add it to your project with a few simple clicks. You can also upload your own background image if you prefer something custom.
What type of fold should I use when creating tri fold brochures?
Tri fold brochures are an excellent choice when trying to convey complex messages quickly because they allow for maximum space when folded out but remain compact when folded up neatly into thirds – either 3 equal panels (standard) or 2 large panels (more economical).
We recommend printing on heavier weight paper which gives the finished product more stability when opened out fully or placed on a tabletop display stand!
