What is a brochure?
A brochure is a stitched booklet in which sheets are joined with two saddle stitches along the spine – just like a traditional notebook. The pages are permanently bound and cannot be torn out.

How is it different from a notepad?
A notepad has single sheets glued with a light adhesive, which can be easily torn off. A brochure is a complete, stitched publication intended for reading.
Need a simple folded leaflet (4 pages folded in half)?
Use the sheet-fed print calculator. See an example quote for A4 folded to A5.

Select the paper, colour option (colour/black) and optional lamination (available for coated 200 gsm+).
