The most popular brochure size is 8.5"×11" tri-fold, which creates six panels and fits standard #10 envelopes when folded. This size works for most marketing purposes — service menus, company overviews, event programs, and real estate listings. For more content, 8.5"×14" and 11"×17" formats are available. Mail Movers in Salisbury, MD prints all standard brochure sizes and can accommodate custom dimensions.
Mail Movers offers tri-fold (letter fold), bi-fold (half fold), Z-fold (accordion), gate fold, roll fold, and accordion fold brochures. The tri-fold is the most common for marketing brochures. Gate folds create a premium unboxing-style experience and work well for product launches or high-end real estate. Z-folds are popular for step-by-step guides and maps. We serve businesses throughout Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia from our Salisbury, MD facility.
For most marketing brochures, 100lb gloss coated text is the best choice — it produces vibrant colors and holds up well to handling. For a more premium feel or when recipients need to write on the brochure (patient forms, reply cards), use 100lb silk or matte coated text. For menus or frequently handled pieces, upgrade to 80lb or 100lb gloss cover stock for durability. Mail Movers in Salisbury, MD can provide paper samples before you commit to a full print run.
The preferred file format for brochure printing is a print-ready PDF with all fonts embedded, images at 300 DPI minimum, CMYK color mode, and 0.125" bleed on all sides.

Yes — Mail Movers is a full-service direct mail and lettershop operation, so we can print your brochures and mail them directly to your customer list or a purchased targeted list. We handle addressing, tabbing or inserting into envelopes, USPS presort, and delivery. Mailing brochures as self-mailers (tabbed, with address panel) is often more cost-effective than inserting into envelopes. Call 410-749-1885 for a combined print-and-mail quote.
The minimum order for brochure printing at Mail Movers is 100 pieces for standard tri-fold and bi-fold formats. Gate fold and specialty fold formats have a minimum of 250 pieces. There is no maximum — we print runs from 100 to 100,000+ pieces. Pricing per piece decreases significantly at higher quantities, so ordering slightly more than you need is usually cost-effective.
Yes. Mail Movers offers both gloss and matte (silk) finishes for brochures. Gloss finish produces vibrant, high-contrast colors and is the most popular choice for marketing materials. Matte/silk finish reduces glare, gives a more premium feel, and allows recipients to write on the surface — making it ideal for healthcare, nonprofit, and professional services brochures. Aqueous coating (AQ) is also available for added protection on gloss pieces.
