Half-Folded Brochures and Flyers
Half-folded brochures are ideal for weekly programs, 4-page booklets, newsletters, real estate listing sheets, and smaller marketing materials. We print these "folded flyers" on three different glossy or matte papers suitable for almost any project. Every order is printed in full color with full bleed, and rush options are available when you need them fast.
These brochures start as double-sided 8.5x11 prints, then get scored and folded in half to produce a finished size of 5.5x8.5 inches — an envelope-friendly format that fits standard #10 business envelopes when folded once more, or A2 envelopes as-is.
The half-fold gives you four panels of usable space: a front cover, two interior pages that open as a single 8.5x11 spread, and a back cover. It's one of the most versatile and cost-effective brochure formats — easy to design, easy to read, and easy to mail.

Frequently Asked Questions about Half-Folded Brochures
What is the final size of a half-folded brochure?
After folding, the standard half-folded 8.5x11 brochure measures 5.5x8.5 inches — an envelope-friendly size that fits A2 envelopes and other small mailers.
Can I choose different paper types for my brochure?
Yes. You can select from Gloss Paper (100# Text), Gloss Card (100# Cover), or Matte Paper (100# Text) depending on your project's needs and the feel you want.
Are full-color and full-bleed printing options available?
Yes. All half-folded brochures are printed in full color on both sides, and full bleed is included so your designs print edge-to-edge with no white borders.
Will the fold crack or look rough on heavier card stock?
No. We score every brochure before folding, which creates a clean crease that prevents the paper or coating from cracking. This is especially important on the heavier 100# Cover card stock.
How long does printing take?
Most half-folded brochure orders ship within 2-3 business days from our US facility. Rush options are available if you need it sooner.
