Standard vs Premium Brochures, The Comparison

The difference between standard and premium is purely the coating finish. Standard uses AQ (aqueous) coating, which is a soft semi-gloss that protects the print and is writeable. Premium uses UV coating, which is high-shine, makes colours pop dramatically, but is not writeable. Print quality, paper weight and folding options are identical.
Folding Styles, Which One Works for Your Content?
- Tri-fold (6 panels). Industry standard. Three panels each side, opens like a brochure stand. Best for service overview brochures, restaurant menus, professional service descriptions.
- Bi-fold (4 panels). Two panels each side, opens like a greeting card. Best for product catalogues, real estate listings, simpler narrative content. Larger panels per fold mean more room for photos and headlines.
- Accordion fold (8 panels). Zigzag fold with 4 panels each side. Best for step-by-step content, timeline-based stories, or where you want the recipient to unfold the brochure in stages.
Who Orders Custom Brochures?
- Real estate brokerages and agents, listing brochures for individual properties, buyer guides, neighbourhood guides. Premium (UV) is the working norm for high-end listings.
- Restaurants and cafes, menus, takeout brochures, catering menus. Standard (AQ) lets servers write specials on the brochure.
- Hotels, B&Bs and tourism operators, in-room brochures, attraction guides, service menus. Common GTHA orders.
- Medical, dental and specialty clinics, patient education brochures, service overviews, post-treatment care instructions.
- Trades and home services, service explanation brochures left with customers after consultations or estimates.
- Legal, accounting and consulting practices, firm overview brochures for new client meetings and prospect packages.
- Non-profits and religious organizations, mission brochures, donor materials, event programs.

Brochure Design Best Practices
The brochure is doing one job: converting a person who picked it up into a person who calls, emails or visits. Designs that work:
- One clear headline on the front panel that tells the recipient what you do and why they should care. Not your business name, your value proposition.
- Photos that show the actual product or service, not generic stock images. Authentic photos convert 2 to 3x better than stock.
- One clear call to action repeated on every panel, phone number, website, or address with hours.
- Testimonials or social proof if you have them, a single quote from a real customer beats two pages of self-description.
- Pricing or a starting price if it does not embarrass you. “Starting at $X” filters serious prospects from tire-kickers.
- White space. The most common mistake on small business brochures is trying to fit everything. Leave room to breathe.
