Brochure Printing Prices Compared: Bright Print Works vs. the Competition
We priced comparable brochures at major national printers to answer one simple question: Who actually has the lowest brochure printing price?
1,000 • 2,500 • 5,000 • 10,000 Brochures
How We Compared Brochure Printing Prices
Comparing brochure prices only makes sense when you're comparing essentially the same printed product. A cheaper brochure on lighter paper, printed differently or without folding isn't an apples-to-apples comparison.
For this research, we compared a common professional brochure configuration:
Paper: 100 lb Gloss Text
Printing: Full Color Both Sides (4/4)
Folding: Included
Quantities: 1,000 • 2,500 • 5,000 • 10,000
Brochure Printing Price Comparison

| Staples | $299 | $539 | $799 | N/A |

| UPrinting | $262 | $455 | $645 | $1,028 |
| PrintingCenterUSA | $272* | $422 | $596 | $1,062 |
| Bright Print Works | $248 | $398 | $568 | $988 |
*PrintingCenterUSA's $272 price for 1,000 brochures reflected a 10% first-order promotion; the regular price shown during our research was $302. “N/A” means a comparable quantity was not available through the standard online configuration researched. Prices and promotions may change.

What About Brochure Shipping Costs?
Bright Print Works receives substantial commercial discounts from FedEx and UPS. For example, shipping for 1,000 brochures is typically around $14, bringing the total to approximately $262 delivered to your home or office.
This is why customers should look beyond advertising language such as “free shipping.” If the printing itself costs considerably more, free shipping may not produce the lowest final price.
Compare the final delivered price — not just the headline price.

Price Matters — But Compare the Entire Brochure
Price comparisons are useful only when the specifications match. Before ordering, also compare:
Stock weight and finish affect how the brochure looks and feels. Compare brochure paper options.
Tri-fold, half-fold and Z-fold brochures organize content differently. Compare brochure folds.
Make sure you're comparing the same finished brochure dimensions. Compare brochure sizes.
A low price isn't helpful if the brochures arrive after your deadline. See brochure printing and delivery times.
Low Prices Don't Have to Mean Slow Printing
Bright Print Works typically produces brochure orders in 1–2 business days, making the combination of price and speed particularly valuable for businesses with deadlines.
