Printing

Brochures and booklets.

Brochures are folded sheets, most often an 8.5 by 11 trifold or bifold. Booklets are stapled pages for programs, catalogs and handbooks. Churches, schools, builders and service companies order them to explain more than a flyer can hold. Send your file, or your copy and photos and we lay it out. Proofs come back in 1 to 2 business days.

Brochures and booklets questions

Straight answers.

If yours is not here, call or text 512-817-2200 and a real person picks up.

How much does it cost to print brochures?

Brochures are quoted on the ticket by size, fold, paper and quantity. Booklets are priced by page count too. Send the details and a firm number comes back with the proof.

Why does a booklet need pages in multiples of 4?

A saddle stitched booklet is made from sheets folded in half, and each sheet makes 4 pages. So you get 8, 12, 16 or 20 pages. If your content lands on 14, we add a notes page or a sponsor ad.

Can you design a trifold brochure for me?

Yes. Send the text and photos and we lay it out. Layout runs $45 per hour and graphic design $65 per hour. We set the panels so the cover, the back and the inside flap all land where they should.

What paper is best for a brochure?

100lb gloss text is the common pick for photos. Matte reads better when there is a lot of text, and it folds clean. For a booklet cover, a heavier stock holds up to handling.

Can you print a program for a school or church event?

Yes. Event and service programs are a common booklet job. Tax exempt organizations are handled on the ticket, and approved organizations can get Net 15 or 30 terms.

How long do booklets take to print?

Proofs come back in 1 to 2 business days. Print and binding time depends on the page count and the quantity, and it is confirmed on the ticket.
