Brochure Printing Cost: Prices for 250 to 2,500 Copies

What Does Each Brochure Cost Before Shipping?

An 8.5 x 11 inch brochure (half-fold or trifold) on double-sided, full-color 70# text stock averages about $0.98 each at 250 copies and about $0.18 each at 2,500 copies.

Those rounded unit figures come from the listed print totals, without shipping or an optional new design. The table keeps the same letter-size configuration throughout so the comparison measures quantity alone. For the 8.5 x 14 inch trifold, divide its total by the quantity the same way.

Use the full order total to set your budget. Rounded averages are useful for comparing packs, but multiplying a rounded figure by the quantity will not always reproduce the exact total. Keep the cents in the print price when approving the purchase.

Also distinguish the cost per printed piece from the cost per useful handout. A brochure with an expired offer, old phone number, or changed service list cannot do the job you ordered it for. Buying a smaller current run can make more sense than storing a larger outdated one.

Which Sizes and Folds Can Change the Brochure Price?

Only the sheet size changes the price: the 8.5 x 11 inch half-fold and trifold cost the same, while 250 of the 8.5 x 14 inch trifold are $331.69 instead of $246.09.

Inline Graphics sells three brochure configurations: 8.5 x 11 inch half-fold, 8.5 x 11 inch trifold, and 8.5 x 14 inch trifold. Choosing the extra fold on a letter sheet does not add to the total. Moving to the longer legal sheet does, so never apply a letter-size total to a legal-size order.

The half-fold has four printed panels and a nominal closed size of 5.5 x 8.5 inches. It suits layouts with wider photos, short comparison charts, or an interior spread. The letter-size trifold has six printed panels and closes to roughly 3.67 x 8.5 inches. It gives separate topics their own narrow sections.

The legal-size trifold also has six printed panels. Its longer flat sheet provides more room across the panels, with a nominal closed size of about 4.67 x 8.5 inches. Six panels do not mean six separate sheets, and adding folds does not increase the paper area of a given sheet.

Use the brochure design and animated fold walkthrough to compare the reading sequence before building artwork. If you need a size, fold, or stock outside the listed choices, request a custom quote rather than treating a standard price as a promise for that job.

What Is Included in the Listed Print Price?

Every listed brochure price includes 70# text stock, full-color printing on both sides, and folding to the selected layout.

You receive finished brochures rather than flat sheets that need to be folded by hand. Choose the fold in the size selection before ordering. The proof should match the outside cover, inside spread, and back panel of that chosen layout.

Artwork preparation is $14.99 once per item through AI image to print. We accept PDF, AI, PSD, EPS, JPG, PNG, SVG, TIFF, WEBP and HEIC, including a Canva export or a phone photo. After ordering, we make the file print ready (size, bleed, resolution, and color) and send a free digital proof before printing. Review the wording, phone number, website, image placement, and fold positions before approval. A digital proof is the review step for the order, not a physical printed sample.

The standard brochure offering names 70# text stock. Do not compare it with a cardstock or specialty-finish quote as though only the quantity changed. Stock weight, surface, sheet size, and finishing all need to match for a useful comparison. This guide does not promise unlisted coatings or paper upgrades.

Does Brochure Design Cost Extra?

A new brochure design from scratch costs an additional $29.99 with two revisions, and it is free only on brochure items of $499 or more: the 8.5 x 14 inch trifold at 1,500 ($620.59), 2,000 ($674.09), or 2,500 ($706.19).

That option is separate from preparing artwork you already supply. If you have a finished layout, upload it with the order so the file can be prepared and proofed. If you need the brochure built from the beginning, select the design service and supply the content, logo, photos, and desired result.

No letter-size pack reaches that line. The largest, 2,500 copies at 8.5 x 11 inches, is $460.09, so design stays $29.99 on every letter-size order. The threshold applies to the item, so shipping and unrelated products do not count toward it. A larger pack should serve a real distribution need rather than merely chase an included service.

How Do Turnaround and Shipping Affect the Budget?

Brochure production takes 3 to 5 business days after artwork approval, followed by ground transit with flat $10 shipping per order to any US address.

Count backward from the day the brochures must be in hand. Leave time for content preparation, digital proof review, production, and transit. Placing the order does not start the production clock while the artwork still needs approval.

The flat shipping charge is per order, rather than per brochure. Keep it separate from print-only unit averages when comparing packs.

The brochures are printed in the USA. An order deadline still needs enough room for the proof and delivery stages. Do not treat the production range as a rush guarantee, or assume a faster shipping method or paid rush option is available without confirmation.

Which Quantity Would We Choose for a Brochure Run?

Choose 500 copies for a planned distribution near 500 people; choose 250 when a shorter run protects you from unused or outdated material.

Use 750, 1,000, or 2,500 when the distribution count supports them. The 1,500 and 2,000 packs exist only on the 8.5 x 14 inch trifold. A school admissions handout with stable information can have a longer useful life than a brochure for a single fundraiser. The right quantity follows the content's shelf life and the number of intended readers.

If the message is one short offer, compare custom flyer printing costs before paying for a folded format. If readers need to move through several topics, the brochure gives those topics a physical structure. Browse print marketing products when planning the pieces around that main handout.
