Creative & Design
Brochure design for Australian businesses: folded print brochures and digital PDFs, planned panel by panel and ready for your printer.
Brochure design
Rock Solid Marketing provides brochure design for businesses and organisations across Australia, from DL tri-folds for a reception desk to digital brochures sent by email. Our designer plans every panel before laying out a single page.
A brochure gets a few seconds. Someone picks it up at a counter, a field day or a partner's office, reads the cover, and either opens it or puts it back. If the cover talks about you instead of them, it goes back in the rack.
So we build each brochure around one action: book a visit, call a lawyer, enrol in a program. Design time is $175 + GST an hour, quoted after a free 30-minute discovery call.

What goes into it
Good brochure designs decide what the reader sees first, second and last, then make the folds work in that order.
A DL tri-fold for racks and letterboxes, an A4 bi-fold for more detail, a gate fold for a reveal. Folding brochure design starts with which panel the reader sees first.
We map each panel's job before any design: the cover earns the open, the inside spread explains, and the back panel gives the next step and your contact details.
Bring your own words, or have our writers draft them. Either way the copy is edited to fit the panels, so nothing ends up in tiny type to squeeze it in.
Headings sized for a quick scan, body text large enough for older readers, and colour contrast that still works under the fluorescent lights of a waiting room.
A screen version saved as a lighter PDF, with clickable phone numbers, email and web links. Attach it to quotes, send it after a meeting or put it on your website.
CMYK colour, bleed and crop marks set to your printer's specifications, plus a marked-up proof that shows exactly where each fold goes.
Health, legal and financial brochures carry limits on what they can claim. A dental brochure, for example, can't quote patients about their treatment under AHPRA's advertising guidelines.

Rachel EhratCreator Of All Things Amazing!TasmaniaHow it works
Four steps, whether it's one DL tri-fold or a brochure for every service you run.
A free 30-minute call about who the brochure is for, where it will be handed out and how many versions you need.
We suggest a size and fold, map the panels, and quote the hours at $175 + GST an hour.
You get a full-size draft with fold lines. Print it, fold it, mark it up, and we revise it.
After your sign-off we send a print-ready PDF for your printer and a digital PDF for email and your website.
How it starts
First we agree what the brochure is for, who will pick it up and where it will sit. Then we choose the size and fold, and sketch which message goes on which panel.
You send your text, logo and photos, or we quote extra hours to write or source them. The designer lays out a first draft at full size with the folds marked, so you can print it at home and fold it yourself.
You mark up changes, approve the final proof, and receive print-ready and digital files. Take them to any printer you like: we design brochures, we don't print them.
We design it. You choose the printer.
What's included
Copywriting and photography are quoted as extra hours when needed, and printing is paid to the printer you choose. As an estimate, a DL tri-fold from supplied text and photos takes about 4 to 6 hours of design: roughly $700 to $1,050 + GST.

FAQ
Can’t find what you’re after? Call us on 1800 842 022 or browse every answer on our FAQ page.
All FAQsOur design time is $175 + GST an hour, and you get a quote in hours before we start. As an estimate, a DL tri-fold from your own text and photos takes about 4 to 6 hours: roughly $700 to $1,050 + GST. An A4 booklet takes longer, so we quote it after seeing the content. Printing is extra and paid to your printer.
It costs less, because writing and finding images are often the slowest parts of a brochure. With final text and good photos supplied, most of the hours go on layout and changes. If the text still needs work, we can quote hours for our writers or show you which panels to trim. If a one-page flyer will do the job, we'll tell you before we quote.
Start with who it's for and the one action you want, then pick a size and fold to suit. Next, plan each panel: the cover earns the open, the inside explains, the back gives contact details. Then lay it out in your brand colours and fonts, proof it at full size, and export print-ready files.
A good brochure talks about the reader's problem on the cover, not your company history. Keep one idea per panel, use headings people can scan, and leave white space so the eye has somewhere to rest. Use real photos of your place and people where you can. Finish with one clear next step, such as a phone number or a booking link.
You can use a template tool such as Canva, which suits simple flyers and short print runs. Pick the right page size and fold template, keep text inside the safe area, and export a PDF with bleed. For anything customers will judge you on, a designer's layout usually reads better. We also build editable Canva templates from $800 + GST each.
No. We design brochures and supply print-ready files, and you choose the printer. That keeps printing costs between you and a printer you trust, often one in your own town. We set up the files to the printer's specifications, with bleed, crop marks and the right colour mode, so they can go straight to press.
Usually both. Most marketing brochure design now needs a printed version for counters, events and partner offices, and a digital PDF for email and your website. The print file uses CMYK colour and bleed. The digital file uses screen colour, a smaller file size and clickable links. We design the layout once and export both.
Ask who writes the copy, whether print-ready files are included and how changes are charged. Then ask to see brochures they've made for organisations like yours. Ours include service brochures for Sunraysia Residential Services in Mildura and brochures for Maloney Anderson Legal's partner networks. Brochure designers who skip the panel plan usually end up redoing the layout.
Let’s start by scheduling a free discovery call so we can get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit for your marketing needs.
