Paper Types

Coated paper is one of the most popular choices for brochure printing thanks to its smooth surface, vibrant color reproduction, and professional appearance. It is ideal for promotional brochures, event programs, corporate profiles, and marketing materials that require sharp images and high-quality visual presentation.
Uncoated Paper
Uncoated paper is a practical choice for brochure printing, especially for text-heavy brochures, price lists, and informational leaflets. It offers a natural reading feel and a more cost-effective solution for businesses that need professional yet economical printed brochures.
Coated One Side Paper
C1S (Coated One Side) paper features a coated surface with vibrant color reproduction and a durable structure, making it ideal for premium brochure covers, product packaging inserts, and high-impact marketing materials.

Folding Style
The folding style you choose for your brochure plays a crucial role in its readability, user experience, and overall brand presentation. At EcoPrinting, we offer a range of professional folding options for custom brochure printing:
Half Fold
Half fold, or bi-fold, folds once to create two panels, providing a clear cover and spacious interior for simple, organized, and professional layouts.
Tri-Fold
Tri-fold is the most popular folding option, folded twice to create three panels, offering clear sections for organized content and easy distribution.
Z-Fold
Z-fold is folded twice to create three panels in a “Z” shape, ideal for step-by-step presentations or brochures requiring sequential reading.
Gate Fold
Gate fold is folded twice to form two front cover panels that open to reveal a single interior panel, ideal for dramatic, impactful presentations.
Double Parallel Fold
Double parallel fold divides a brochure into four panels by folding it in half, then folding again in the same direction, creating a compact, organized layout.
French Fold
Hardcover binding not only looks high-end, but also feels better to read and use. For hardcover binding, the pages are printed, folded, collated, sewn in groups, and then glued onto a hard case.
We also offer other folding styles. If you can’t find what you need, please contact us and discuss your requirements with our printing expert.
Finish Options
To enhance the overall effect of your printed brochure and maximize its appeal to your target audience, we offer a variety of special finishes that can be applied to the cover or interior pages:
Lamination
Lamination provides an additional layer of protection and enhance the overall appearance of your book. Glossy adds a sleek and polished look, matte offers a more subtle and sophisticated finish, soft-touch provides a soft touch feel and look.
Foil Stamping
Foil stamping is a luxurious and eye-catching technique that adds a touch of elegance to your paperback. Available in a range of metallic colors, foil stamping can be applied to the cover or spine, creating a striking visual impact.
Spot UV
Spot UV is a modern and innovative finishing technique that selectively applies a glossy, raised coating to specific areas of your book cover. It enhances the effect of specific areas, drawing the reader's attention to important design elements or text.
Emboss
Add depth and texture to your book's cover by embossing certain elements, creating a raised and tactile effect. Emboss can be used to enhance text, logos, or decorative elements, creating a visually striking and memorable impact.
Deboss
Achieve a sophisticated and elegant look by debossing elements on the cover, creating a recessed and indented effect. Same as emboss, deboss also can be used to enhance text, logos, or decorative elements, creating a visually striking and memorable impact.
Glitter Edges
For a touch of glamour and sparkle, consider adding a glitter edge to the pages of your softback bound book. This eye-catching finish adds a unique and festive touch, making your book a true standout.
File Specifications
Bleed
For paperback printing, we require a 3mm bleed area to each side. This ensures that your design extends beyond the trim line.
Resolution
For high quality printing, all images should have a resolution of at least 300 DPI dots per inch. This ensures your images appear crisp.
Color Mode
It's important to set your document's color mode to CMYK instead of RGB for more accurate color representation.
File Format
We accept several file formats, but PDF files are preferred. PDFs preserve the layout and content as intended.
Other tips: If you artwork include other elements, such as foil stamping, spot uv, deboss, etc, it’s essential to provide separate designs for each interactive element. To make sure that our team can accurately reproduce and assemble these unique features during the production process.
