Tri-fold brochures are one of the most commonly used marketing materials, but can be one of the most challenging to design. There are many details to consider when laying out a tri-fold brochure, including paper size, fold lines, content layout, and file preparation. This article serves as your guide for setting up a tri-fold brochure for professional printing.

Paper size

The possibilities are endless when it comes to choosing the size of your brochure. There are no limits to your creativity, nor should there be in your design. However, if you want to create something easy to design and print, you may want to stick with one of the standard sizes below. Throughout the rest of this post I will focus on the most common brochure size, the 8.5″ x 11″ tri‑fold.

8.5″ x 11″ (Letter)

The standard ‘tri-fold’ is actually three panels with only two fold lines. It can be handed out, placed in a brochure rack, or easily mailed. This size is also often used for take-out menus.


8.5″ x 14″ (Legal)

Legal size tri-folds are not as common, but are still used today. With three extra inches of total length, each of your panels will allow a bit more space for content.


11″ x 17″ (Tabloid)

Although frequently used as a half-fold brochure or menu, this paper size can also be used as a tri-fold.

11″ x 25.5″

The much larger 11″ x 25.5″ brochure is comprised of three 8.5″ x 11″ panels, and is used for lengthy, more robust brochures.
