Flyers and brochures are still the hardest-working pieces in local marketing: they hand out at counters, stuff into bags, mail to postal codes and sit in racks doing sales work all week. We print them in Montreal in-house, from a few hundred for one neighborhood to volume runs for franchise networks.
A flyer is flat: one sheet, printed one or both sides, built for volume and handouts. A brochure is folded, which gives the piece structure: a cover, an unfolding story and panels that organize an offer. Brochure and pamphlet are the same thing under two names; only the flat size, fold and paper matter for production.
| Fold | Panels | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Half fold | 4 | Menus, event programs, simple presenters |
| Tri fold (letter) | 6 | The classic rack brochure and service menu |
| Z fold | 6 | Step-by-step content read panel by panel |
| Accordion | 6 to 8 | Maps, timelines, product walkthroughs |
| Gate fold | 6 | A reveal moment for launches and lookbooks |
Not sure which fold suits the content? Send what you have and our in-house design services will lay it out around the right fold instead of forcing the content into the wrong one.
Postcards run in the standard sizes: 4 x 6, 5 x 7, 5.5 x 8.5 and 6 x 9 inches, plus jumbo options, and can be produced mail ready for your campaign. Door hangers cover the neighborhoods mail does not.
Finish changes how the piece reads: matte is non-reflective and easy to write on, gloss makes photography and color vibrant. Heavier stocks read as more permanent; lighter stocks keep high-volume handouts economical. Tell us how the piece will be used and we will match the stock to the job rather than upselling weight you do not need.
Most small jobs run 2 to 7 business days depending on the production speed selected, with rush available. Production starts at proof approval; we provide an online proof on every order. We ship throughout Canada and the United States.
What is the difference between a brochure and a pamphlet? Both terms describe folded marketing pieces and are used interchangeably. What matters for printing is the flat size, the fold and the paper, not the name.
What postcard sizes do you print? Common sizes include 4 x 6, 5 x 7, 5.5 x 8.5 and 6 x 9 inches, plus jumbo options, and they can be produced mail ready.
Is there a minimum quantity for flyers? There is no large minimum on most products. A neighborhood run of a few hundred and a franchise run in the thousands are both normal work.
How fast can you print flyers and brochures? Most small jobs run 2 to 7 business days depending on the speed selected, and rush service is available.
How should I set up a folded brochure file? Supply CMYK artwork at 300 DPI with 0.125 inch bleed and fonts converted to outlines, as PDF, JPEG, TIFF or EPS. Build the file at flat size with fold positions in mind so nothing important sits on a crease.
Do you ship outside Montreal? Yes. We ship throughout Canada and the United States, with destinations beyond North America handled by special request.
