A multi‑page brochure that organises product groups, pricing and specifications for sales or in-store use.

  • Cover and interior page layout prepared in InDesign (editable source files)
  • Image cropping, basic retouching and suitable image placement
  • Consistent typography, colour and brand alignment across pages
  • Print‑ready PDF and a supplier handover checklist (bleed, trim, colour profile)
02

A4 / bi‑fold marketing brochure

Folded A4 or A5 brochure for campaigns, services or event promotion designed for print and quick digital sharing.

  • Concept design and refined final layout for fold type chosen (bi‑fold or tri‑fold)
  • Copy layout and headline treatment (client copy or agreed edits)
  • Exported print PDF with marks, bleed and FOGRA39/CMYK profile where required
  • Adapted digital version for email or web use (optimised PDF or single‑page PNG/PDF)

Sales leave‑behind or capability pack

A short, polished brochure or one‑pager that summarises your services for meetings and partner outreach.

  • One‑page or short multi‑page layout with clear messaging and call to action
  • Logo placement, brand colour and typographic system applied
  • Editable source files (InDesign or high‑quality PDF) and a print spec sheet
  • Optional assistance requesting print quotes or basic supplier recommendations

Pricing guidance

How much does brochure design cost?

Indicative NZ$ ranges to help you choose a budget. Final cost depends on complexity, content, images and the freelancer you hire.

Small project

Simple one‑page brochures, basic folded layouts or a short sales leave‑behind where the client supplies copy and most images.

NZ$400 – NZ$1,200

Mid‑range project

Multi‑panel brochures, short multi‑page catalogues or campaign brochures with image editing, structured layout and print setup.

NZ$1,200 – NZ$4,500

Large or brand‑led project

Extensive catalogues, brochure-driven brand work or projects needing strategy, photography commissioning and multi‑format production.

NZ$4,500 – NZ$12,000+

What affects the price

  • Number of pages or panels and complexity of layout
  • Amount of copywriting, editing and content structuring required
  • Image work: sourcing, licensing or retouching of photography
  • Print specifications (paper weight, special finishes) and supplier coordination

Estimates are indicative, may exclude GST and ongoing software or printing costs. Final scope and freelancer rates are agreed directly with the freelancer — request a tailored quote through your brief.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions before you hire.

Answers to the questions clients commonly ask before starting a brief.

Still deciding what you need?

Start with the outcome and the context you already have. A polished specification is not required.

What files will I receive at the end?

Typically you’ll get print‑ready PDFs and editable source files (commonly Adobe InDesign). Confirm deliverables in your brief so you get the formats you need.

Can the designer help with printing?

Many designers prepare the print spec and handover, and can advise printers; confirm whether the freelancer will request and compare quotes or liaise with a supplier.

How long will a brochure project take?

Timing depends on scope and approvals; simple one‑page pieces can be a few days, while multi‑page catalogues take longer. State your deadline in the brief and discuss timelines with applicants.

What if I don’t have good photos or copy?

Freelancers can often help with light image retouching, stock photography sourcing (licences may cost extra) and copy editing — include these needs in your brief so applicants can price them.

How do I trust a freelancer for print work?

Ask applicants for examples of previous print projects, confirm they deliver print‑ready PDFs and check whether they follow print guides (colour profile, bleed and resolution). Unicorn Factory makes warm introductions once you review applications.
