Brochures are foldable sheets with at least two pages that often contain pictures, and other information regarding an event, product, service or a business. Unlike flyers and business cards, brochures have the ability to contain more information. It’s one of the reasons why some brands opt for them. Brochures are also good promotional materials. It is also worthy of note that these promotional materials can either be printed as landscape or portrait depending on your choice.
