For me, it would be brochures. They are cost-effective, engaging, and grab attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use brochures to market products and services, promote events, spread awareness, or even build brand identity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, many businesses don\u2019t use brochures correctly. Content is often misaligned and the design looks disrupted mostly because of selecting the wrong brochure size.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this blog, I&#8217;ll teach you how to choose the right brochure size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro-tip: You can use Venngage\u2019s free&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/features\/brochure-maker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brochure Maker<\/a>&nbsp;or <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/brochures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brochure templates<\/a> to make a brochure. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/features\/brochure-maker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"btn-cta\"><b>START CREATING FOR FREE<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Click to jump ahead:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#size\">Standard brochure sizes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#fold\">Choosing the right fold<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#size\">Choosing the right size<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#sizes\">Beyond standard sizes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#venngage\">Pick an appropriate brochure in Venngage<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#conclusion\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"size\">Standard brochure sizes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/brochure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">well-designed brochure<\/a> should have a solid harmony between the design and the content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this is why brochure size matters. It creates a logical flow of information because content and design are clearly visible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard brochure sizes across most industries are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>8.5\u201d x 11\u201d \u2014 Letter size<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>8.5\u201d x 14\u201d \u2014 Legal size<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5.5\u201d x 8.5\u201d \u2014 Memo size<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>9\u201d x 12\u201d \u2014 Arch A size<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>11\u201d x 17\u201d \u2014 A3 size<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>11\u201d x 25.5\u201d \u2014 Tri-fold brochure size<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">US standard sizes (in inches)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the US, the following three brochure sizes are common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Letter size (8.5&#8243; x 11&#8243;)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Letter-size brochures are general-purpose brochures, used for mass distribution. They include information related to products and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I prefer letter-size brochures for professional events because they are compact and can easily fit in folders. They are also suitable for email campaigns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Legal size (8.5&#8243; x 14&#8243;)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A legal-size brochure is lengthier than Letter-size. Pick this  size when you want more text or large images in a brochure. Legal-size brochures can be used as bi-fold, tri-fold, and even Z-fold brochures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common use cases for legal-size brochures are real estate listings, promoting services, or event marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Tabloid size (11&#8243; x 17&#8243;)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a landscape <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/brochure-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brochure design<\/a>, go with tabloid size. It offers ample space for images and texts. You\u2019ll usually see tri-fold, bi-fold, and gate-fold brochures in tabloid size.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tabloid-size brochures work great for the travel and tourism industry and product catalogs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">International standard sizes (in centimeters)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If US brochure sizes don\u2019t suit you, give international standard sizes a try.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. A4 (21cm x 29.7cm) &#8211; the most widely used size globally<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A4-size brochures are common in Europe and regions other than North America. They have a spacious layout and easily fit large content and visuals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A4 brochures are compatible with printers so you can use them for business brochures, product catalogs, educational material, or to provide healthcare information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/brochures\/a4-brochure-template-121418f1-8866-42a0-8696-c7efb66ada68\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.venngage.com\/template\/thumbnail\/small\/121418f1-8866-42a0-8696-c7efb66ada68.webp\" alt=\"A4 Brochure Template\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/brochures\/a4-brochure-template-121418f1-8866-42a0-8696-c7efb66ada68\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"btn-cta\"><b>CREATE THIS TEMPLATE<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.

But, A5 brochures usually work best if you want to keep minimal text and visuals. Otherwise, the brochure looks chaotic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use A5 brochures for mini catalogs or event invitations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fold\">Choosing the right fold: enhance your brochure design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s see what sizes are commonly used for different types of brochure folds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Half-fold (8.5\u201d x 11\u201d or 8.5\u201d x 14\u201d)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning to design a professional brochure? You can\u2019t go wrong with the half-fold or bi-fold style. A half-fold brochure simply folds a sheet of paper into two equal panels. You can arrange large texts and visuals easily on both back and front aides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Half-fold brochures have a simple layout and are cost-effective as well. You can use Letter, Legal, or Tabloid brochure size to create a half-fold brochure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/brochures\/marketing-consultant-bi-fold-brochure-3ccc74a8-43b2-4b2d-bd7b-7954a138ac97\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/thumbnails.venngage.com\/template\/3ccc74a8-43b2-4b2d-bd7b-7954a138ac97.png\" alt=\"Modern Marketing Consultant Bi Fold Brochure Template\" width=\"485\" height=\"782\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/brochures\/marketing-consultant-bi-fold-brochure-3ccc74a8-43b2-4b2d-bd7b-7954a138ac97\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"btn-cta\"><b>CREATE THIS TEMPLATE<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

This creates four panels or quadrants that you can use to highlight different products or services, add price lists, mention your business USPs, or create a travel guide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The common page sizes for French fold brochures are A4 and Letter size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/how-to-make-brochure-in-microsoft-word\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Make a Brochure in Microsoft Word<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"size\">Choosing the right size: factors to consider<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know different brochure sizes, I&#8217;ll share four factors that can help you pick the right brochure size.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Content volume and design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your brochure has too many visuals, pick a larger size, such as A4 or tabloid. If you want to keep the content minimal and catchy, small sizes, such as A5 work the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Target audience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next comes your target audience. If you want to share detailed brochures with your customers, it\u2019s better to go with A4 size. However, if you are targeting a specific audience, you can use a custom size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, using a custom size for an AI and ML learning brochure can help you get more engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, if your target audience is professionals, an A5 or tri-fold size template works better because it is compact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Budget and printing costs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Brochure size also depends on the design budget and printing costs. Larger sizes such as 11\u2033 x 25.5\u2033 (tri-fold brochure) are costlier to design and print. However, A4 size brochures are more cost-effective because they are commonly used for printing any material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Distribution mode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, consider the distribution channel to select the right brochure size. If you want to send the brochure through mail, it should easily fit in an envelope. In this case, you would need Letter size (8.5\u201d x 11\u201d).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to email a brochure, the maximum width should be 600 px. In case of brochures for social media, go with the portrait size (1080 x 1350 px).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sizes\">Beyond standard sizes: custom brochures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/features\/brochure-maker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">designing a brochure<\/a>, remember that standard sizes are only for guidance. There may be instances where standard sizes may not work well. In that case, you can use custom brochure sizes depending on your project purpose and distribution channel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say you want to make your real estate company stand out from your competitors.

However, a brochure with inappropriate sizing becomes less appealing and make the content ineffective and even leave a bad impression on customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthweb.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Earthweb<\/a> editor Jason Wise puts it like this: &#8220;Choosing the right brochure size is crucial for effective communication. It ensures your content is well-presented, visually appealing, and tailored to your audience. Choose wisely if you want to maximize your message&#8217;s impact and avoid unnecessary costs.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, I&#8217;m sure you don\u2019t want to go through the pain of changing the design or content and reprinting.
