Half Fold Brochures / Bi-Fold

Half-Fold Brochures Are Affordable and Effective.

This minimalist approach is a simple, elegant way to share your message.

A half-fold brochure, sometimes called a bi-fold brochure, is a single sheet folded once to create a neat, two-panel piece. Use crisp graphics and eye-popping color on the front panel to grab attention. Detail your product, service and value proposition on the inside spread. Seal the deal on the back panel with contact information, special offers, and a strong call to action.

The layout is clean, easy to read, and refreshingly simple. This makes half-fold brochures appealing, unassuming, and ideal for many uses.

Benefits of Half-Fold Brochure Printing:

Half-fold brochures are cost effective and easy to distribute. They work well in mailings, at trade shows, and at the point of sale. You can also hand them out directly to potential customers. Because the format is straightforward, good design stands out: choose a strong cover image, keep inside text scannable, and make sure your contact details are easy to find.

Customize your brochures with a range of paper stocks. Your bi-fold pamphlets come folded so each piece looks crisp and professional. Need them fast? We offer guaranteed rush delivery, and standard shipping is free on orders of $125 or more.

Common Uses for Half-fold Brochures:

  • Retail: Feature a seasonal sale, new product line, or in-store promotion.
  • Real estate: Showcase a property with photos on the cover and key details inside.
  • Non-profit: Explain your mission, list upcoming events, and provide donation steps.
  • Corporate: Present a company overview, service highlights, or a compact product sheet.
  • Healthcare and professional services: Outline services, practitioner bios, and how to schedule an appointment.
  • Hospitality and tourism: Highlight hotel amenities, local attractions, and booking info.
  • Education: Share program summaries, campus highlights, or event schedules.
  • Events and conferences: Give attendees a quick schedule, venue map, or exhibitor list.

Design tips: use the front panel for a bold visual and a clear headline, place the most important details in the inside spread, and keep contact or next-step information on the back panel. Keep copy short and scannable, use strong imagery, and leave some white space so the brochure feels balanced.

If you want a polished, easy-to-read brochure that people will actually open and keep, half-fold brochure printing may be your best choice.

Selected paper might have a slight crack where folding will occur. It will look worse if you have printing on the folding area. For a crisp, perfect fold we suggest to order scoring. To save money, order without scoring.
