Trifold Brochure Template

This press-ready printing template defines proper document size, bleeds, trim marks, and fold/score marks to ensure your brochure is correctly set up. The trimmed document size is 8.5″ × 11″, which is the measurement of the brochure when completely flat (not folded). Each panel is roughly one third of the flat size, which results in six panels total. Bleeds are set to an eighth of an inch (0.125″).

Please see our brochure printing page for pricing and product information.

Instructions

In Illustrator, simply open the .eps files and begin building your brochure, using the guides and layers as a reference point.

In Photoshop, open either the .eps or .pdf files and click 'OK' in the Rasterize dialogue you will see upon opening the files. This will create a rasterized layer from which you can use as a reference as you build your document.

In InDesign, you will need to create a document as follows: Go to File > New > Document. Under Width type '11 in' and under Height type '8.5 in', without the quotes. Under Margins, set all margins to .125 in, and set all bleeds to .125 in. Then click 'Ok' to create the document. Now you may go to File > Place and place our template as your reference point, lining up the red area (the bleed) with the red bleed line in InDesign.

Guidance

On the brochure template, you will see distinct areas:

• Red denotes the bleed area. If you need graphics that touch edge of your brochure, you will need to extend your artwork into the bleed area. The bleed area will be trimmed from your final product and ensures a proper, final appearance.
• Green denotes the safety zone. We do not recommend placing any text inside this area as it is directly adjacent to the trim line.
• Dashed and dotted lines denote score and fold marks. On the brochure template, you will see two vertical dashed lines on each side – this is where your brochure is folded.

You may download the template as an EPS, PDF, or as a Zip file containing all versions.
