Tangible Marketing
In a world saturated with digital ads, pop-ups, and email blasts, printed brochures cut through the noise by putting something physical in your prospect's hands. A well-designed brochure is not just informational - it is a tactile brand experience. People flip through it, pass it to a colleague, leave it on a desk, or tuck it into a folder for later. That staying power is something a banner ad simply cannot replicate.
Research consistently shows that consumers trust print more than digital. According to the Direct Marketing Association, physical marketing materials generate higher recall, deeper engagement, and stronger emotional responses than screen-based content. Brochures give you room to tell your full story - your services, your credentials, your differentiators - in a format that feels substantial and worth keeping.
Brochures also integrate seamlessly with your other marketing channels. Include them in direct mail campaigns, hand them out at trade shows, place them in waiting rooms, or bundle them into fulfillment kits. A tri-fold brochure mailed alongside a postcard or letter adds depth to your offer and increases response rates. When you combine brochures with print and mail services, the entire workflow happens under one roof.
The bottom line: brochures have high perceived value. When someone receives a glossy, well-printed brochure, it communicates that your business is serious, established, and invested in quality. That impression matters whether you are a healthcare provider, a nonprofit organization, an insurance agency, or a local service business looking to grow.

Custom sizes available

Materials
The paper stock and finish you choose affect how your brochure looks, feels, and performs. A heavy gloss stock communicates luxury and makes photos pop. A soft-touch matte finish invites people to pick it up and hold it. An uncoated stock feels authentic and is easy to write on - ideal for forms or donation reply devices.
We stock the most popular weights and finishes, and can source specialty papers for unique projects. Our digital and offset presses are calibrated to deliver consistent color across coated and uncoated surfaces, so your brand colors look right every time.
For brochures that need extra durability - pieces that will be handled frequently, displayed in racks, or mailed through the postal system - we recommend adding lamination. Our commercial printing team can advise on the right combination of stock and finish for your budget and use case.
80lb, 100lb, 120lb gloss text and cover. Sharp images, vibrant colors. Best for photo-heavy pieces.
80lb, 100lb matte text and cover. Reduced glare, elegant appearance. Easy to read under any lighting.
70lb, 80lb offset and linen. Natural texture, writable surface. Ideal for nonprofit and text-heavy brochures.
Full-sheet lamination for durability and premium feel. Protects against fingerprints, moisture, and wear.
Velvety, tactile finish that makes people want to hold your brochure. Premium look and feel.
Spot UV for selective gloss highlights. Aqueous coating for overall scuff resistance on press sheets.
In-House Capabilities
Everything stays under one roof. Our in-house bindery means faster turnaround, better quality control, and no outsourcing delays.
Two or more staples along the spine fold. The most common and cost-effective binding for booklets with 8-64 pages. Clean, professional look that lays flat when opened. Used for programs, catalogs, newsletters, and product booklets.
Best for: 8-64 page booklets, programs, newsletters
Plastic or metal coil threaded through punched holes along the spine. Pages lay completely flat and rotate 360 degrees. Ideal for reference manuals, training guides, workbooks, and cookbooks that need to stay open during use.
Best for: Manuals, workbooks, training materials, cookbooks
Pages glued to a flat spine with a wraparound cover - the same binding used for paperback books. Creates a polished, substantial appearance. Best for thick booklets, annual reports, catalogs with 48+ pages, and any piece where shelf presence matters.
Best for: Annual reports, thick catalogs, books, proposals
Precision mechanical folding with pre-scoring for clean, crack-free creases on coated and heavy stocks. We handle all fold types: letter, half, z-fold, gate, accordion, roll, and custom configurations. Scoring prevents fiber cracking on stocks heavier than 80lb cover.
Best for: All brochure folds, especially heavy stock
Custom-shaped cuts for pocket folders, tabbed dividers, rounded corners, window cutouts, and specialty shapes. Die cutting adds visual interest and functional elements to your brochures that standard trimming cannot achieve.
Best for: Pocket folders, shaped brochures, tabbed pieces
Assembly of multi-component kits: brochures with inserts, reply cards, order forms, or business cards tucked into pocket folders. Everything collated, inserted, and packaged under one roof. See our fulfillment services for large-scale assembly.
Best for: Kits, presentation folders, multi-piece mailers
File Prep
Getting your brochure artwork right before it goes to press saves time, money, and headaches. Here are the most common file prep issues we see - and how to avoid them. If you are working with a designer, share these specs. If you are designing it yourself, these guidelines will keep your project on track.
For more design best practices, check out our guide on how to improve brochure design for tips on layout, typography, and imagery that increase engagement.
Extend backgrounds and images past the trim line by 1/8 inch. This prevents white edges after cutting.
Keep text and logos at least 1/4 inch inside the trim edge to prevent clipping during cutting.
For tri-fold brochures, the panel that folds in is 1/16" narrower. Keep critical content away from fold lines.
Low-resolution images look blurry in print. Source images at 300 DPI at final print size. Web images (72 DPI) will not work.
Design in CMYK color mode for accurate print color. RGB files will shift in color when converted for press.
Body text below 8pt becomes difficult to read. Headlines should be 18pt or larger for impact.
Print + Mail
One of the biggest advantages of working with MPA is that your brochures never leave our facility between press and mailbox. We print, fold, address, sort, and drop your brochures into the USPS mail stream - all from the same building. That means fewer hand-offs, less handling damage, and faster delivery to your audience.
Brochures can be mailed two ways: as self-mailers (folded, tabbed, and addressed directly on the piece) or inserted into envelopes as part of a letter package. Self-mailers are more cost-effective because they eliminate envelope and inserting costs. Envelope mailings offer a more personal presentation and allow you to include additional inserts like reply cards or coupons.
We handle the complete mailing workflow: NCOA address updates, CASS certification, deduplication, presort optimization for maximum postage discounts, and direct USPS entry. If you need a mailing list, use our List Builder tool to explore targeting options, or ask us to source a targeted list for you.
For local saturation campaigns, consider pairing brochures with our EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail) service. EDDM delivers to every address on selected carrier routes at just $0.25 per piece - no mailing list required. It is the cheapest way to reach every household in your target area.
For targeted campaigns where you want to reach specific demographics, income levels, or business types, our direct mail services team handles everything from list acquisition through postal drop. Whether you are sending 500 brochures to local businesses or 50,000 to a national audience, the same team manages your campaign from start to finish.

Yes. We print and mail brochures from the same facility - no outsourcing, no hand-offs. Brochures can be mailed as self-mailers (tabbed and addressed directly) or inserted into envelopes. We handle data processing, NCOA address updates, presort optimization, and USPS postal drop. Combining print and mail under one roof saves time and reduces handling damage.
Submit print-ready PDF files with 0.125 inch bleed on all sides, 300 DPI resolution for images, CMYK color mode, and all fonts embedded or outlined. Include crop marks and set your document to the correct flat (unfolded) size. For a standard tri-fold brochure, the flat size is typically 11 x 8.5 inches. We provide free file checks and will flag any issues before printing.
Yes. Our in-house bindery offers three binding methods: saddle stitch (stapled on the spine, best for 8-64 pages), coil bind (plastic spiral, best for manuals and workbooks that need to lay flat), and perfect bind (glued spine with flat edge, best for catalogs and thick booklets over 48 pages). All binding is done in-house for quality control and faster turnaround.
Coated paper has a smooth, sealed surface that produces sharper images and more vibrant colors. Gloss coated stock is ideal for photo-heavy brochures, while matte coated offers a softer look with reduced glare. Uncoated paper has a natural, textured feel that is easier to write on and conveys a more premium or organic brand aesthetic. Uncoated works well for text-heavy pieces, nonprofit communications, and brands that want a tactile quality.
