Bi-fold, tri-fold or multi-page

Bi-fold. One sheet folded once into four panels. It suits a product sheet, an event programme or a property launch handout.

Tri-fold. One sheet folded twice into six panels, small enough for a rack or a counter. It is the most common format for clinics, tuition centres and service businesses.

Gate-fold and Z-fold. Folds that open in a particular order, used when the reveal matters, such as a new project launch or a product with a step-by-step story.

Multi-page brochure. A stapled or bound booklet of 8 to 32 pages. It suits property developers, manufacturers and service firms with several lines of business. If the document mainly introduces your company for tenders and vendor registration, see our company profile cost guide.

Catalogue. A multi-page document built around products, with specifications, codes and prices. Product and technical catalogues cost the most because every item needs a consistent layout and careful checking.

What drives the price

1. Number of pages or panels. Each page needs layout, images and proofreading. A 24-page catalogue is several times the work of a tri-fold.
2. Copywriting. Writing the text is often half the job. Quotes that include copy cost more but save you the time of writing it.
3. Languages. English, Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese versions need separate typesetting and checking, and Chinese text runs to a different length.
4. Photography and illustration. Stock images are cheap. Product shoots, site photography or custom illustrations add cost.
5. Revisions and rush. Extra revision rounds typically cost RM500 to RM1,500 each, and rush jobs carry a 25% to 300% surcharge.
6. Print coordination. Choosing paper, checking bleed and folds, and approving the printer’s proof prevents a reprint.

Freelancer or agency

A freelancer is a good fit when you already have the text, the photos and a clear idea of the layout, and you need a simple flyer or tri-fold quickly. Expect RM80 to RM500 for most single-sheet jobs.

An agency is a better fit when the brochure supports a sale worth far more than the design fee: a property launch, a trade show, a distributor pitch. The agency price covers copy, structure, brand consistency with your other material and print supervision. For a tri-fold, that is the difference between RM200 to RM500 and RM2,000 to RM3,500.

Flyers

A flyer is a single sheet, printed on one or both sides, for promotions, openings and events. Freelancers charge RM80 to RM300 and agencies RM300 to RM800 or more. The agency price usually covers matching the flyer to your brand, writing the offer and preparing versions for print, WhatsApp and social media. If you run promotions every month, ask for a template you can update instead of a new design each time. Our marketing collaterals service covers flyers, posters and buntings.

Brochure or website

A brochure does not replace a website, and a website does not replace a brochure. Buyers at a trade show, a property gallery or a clinic waiting area still pick up printed material, and a PDF version is easy to send on WhatsApp after a meeting. Design the brochure so the same layout works as a printed piece and as a PDF.

Paper, fold and print

The design fee does not include printing. Ask the designer to set up the file for your printer’s paper size, fold and bleed. A heavier paper or a special finish such as spot UV changes how the cover should be designed, so decide it early. Remember that 8% SST applies to design services in Malaysia.

How to get an accurate quote

Write down the format you want, the number of pages, whether you need copywriting, the languages, the photos you have and the print quantity. With that, a designer can give you a fixed price. You can send it through the quote form or see our brochure design service.
