Getting Mini Brochures printed costs anywhere from $30 or more depending on the fold style and quantity. Like most printed products, the more impressions you order the cheaper the price is per piece.
Typically small brochures average cost can range by quantity. However, it is common for 1,000 trifold brochures to cost anywhere from $150 – $300 depending on paper and print quality.
Lots of times mini brochures are used instead of business cards. If the small brochure finishes up at 2×3.5 inches it will be the same as a business card. If using a 3 or 4 panel brochure it is common to only use a lighter, text-weight paper so that it stays folded by itself. Using cardstock makes brochures with more folds susceptible to opening by themselves.
A typical brochure format in the United States is made out of an 8.5×11, and folds into a finished size of 8.5×3.667 (11 divided by 3). However, mini brochures will usually fold to 4×6 or smaller. It is also common to use them instead of business cards when they fold down to 2×3.5.
