Creating Your Own Tri-fold Brochures
The first step is to determine what the dimensions of your Tri-fold brochures in order to create attention-grabbing Tri-fold brochures. We have provided you with Tri-fold brochures dimensions, post card dimensions and business cards dimensions.

Tri-fold Brochure Dimensions Size and Setup
The standard dimensions for a printed Tri-fold Brochures are 8 x 11 inches. That's the finished Tri-fold Brochure size. With using bleeds use 8.625 x 11.125 inches. The "bleed area" is an extra 1/8 inch of space for design elements or backgrounds that extend beyond the finished size of your piece.
Tri-fold Brochure Design Tips
Make the document page size equal to the Tri-fold Brochures size plus the bleed area, or 3.75" wide x 2.25" high, to be trimmed down to the finished size after printing. If you aren't planning to include bleeds, the bleed area isn't necessary, so set the document size to the finished size, 8 x 3 inches.
Careful near the Borders
Because the cutting process may vary, it's a good idea to keep all of your text and logo information within the safe design zone. This safe zone is the 1/8-inch area around the margin of your Tri-fold Brochure. Make sure your text is within the 8 x 11 inch area of your card. You wouldn't want to have the last digit of your contact information cut off!
