You have a budget to defend and a folder of finished artwork, but every print quote you have seen so far asks you to fill in a form before it will show a single price. That is exactly the friction the table on this page removes. If you are pricing a job and searched for brochure printing cost in Australia, the numbers below give you a real basis for the job, with no waiting on a sales reply.
The figures come from Paperlust Print Shop’s live price list on 14 September 2026. The lowest order total in the table is $308.96 for 250 brochures, and the cheapest figure is $0.23 each at 2,500 units, both in the DL Roll Trifold or A5 Bifold formats on 115 gsm Gloss. Every price includes GST. The article uses those published brochure printing costs to explain what moves the total and how delivery changes the final invoice.

What brochures cost in Australia right now
Right now, the entry point that matters is the lowest total in the table. You can order 250 brochures in the DL Roll Trifold (A4 folded to DL) or A5 Bifold (A4 folded in half to A5) format for $308.96. That is the smallest published run total on the live list. If unit cost is the figure you have to defend, the cheapest price per brochure is $0.23, and it sits at 2,500 units in either of those same two folded formats.
The table prices four quantity breaks, 250, 500, 1,000 and 2,500, across three folded configurations: DL Roll Trifold, A5 Bifold and A4 Bifold. All three are priced on 115 gsm Gloss. Paperlust Print Shop is an Australian print business with production in Melbourne, and the figures we use here were read from its live brochure price list on 14 September 2026. Because prices can change, the current figure for any other combination is on the brochures product page.
Brochure prices at a glance
The table below is the central reference for this article. It shows the published totals for the three priced brochure formats at four quantities, with GST included and the price per brochure shown in brackets. The stock in every row is 115 gsm Gloss.
| Size / configuration | Qty 250 | Qty 500 | Qty 1000 | Qty 2500 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DL Roll Trifold (A4 folded to DL) | $308.96 ($1.23 each) | $382.78 ($0.76 each) | $435.25 ($0.43 each) | $590.69 ($0.23 each) |
| A5 Bifold (A4 folded in half to A5) | $308.96 ($1.23 each) | $382.78 ($0.76 each) | $435.25 ($0.43 each) | $590.69 ($0.23 each) |
| A4 Bifold (A3 folded in half to A4) | $571.27 ($2.28 each) | $625.67 ($1.25 each) | $734.49 ($0.73 each) | $1,049.27 ($0.41 each) |
Read the table by choosing the format first, then moving across the row to the quantity you need. The figure before the bracket is the total for the whole run. The bracketed figure is that total divided by the quantity, and it is the number to use when you compare one option against another at the same output.
What moves the brochure price
Quantity does most of the work. A DL Roll Trifold order at 250 units totals $308.96, or $1.23 per brochure. The same format at 2,500 units totals $590.69, which works out to $0.23 per brochure. The total rises because you are buying more, but the cost you carry per leaflet falls as the press run grows.
The second visible lever is the sheet and configuration. At 250 units, the A4 Bifold (A3 folded in half to A4) totals $571.27, compared with $308.96 for the DL Roll Trifold at the same quantity. The A5 Bifold carries the same $308.96 because it is folded from the same A4 sheet as the DL Roll Trifold. The A4 Bifold costs more because it is folded from the larger A3 sheet.
The priced configuration also keeps you inside the table. The figures assume 115 gsm Gloss. Keeping to that stock and one of the three configurations means the prices on this page hold. Any other stock, size or quantity means checking the live page, because the table does not list prices beyond the combinations shown.
Delivery and the total cost of an order
Delivery is charged once per order, not once per brochure, and it is priced at $10 for standard delivery or $15 for express delivery anywhere in Australia. Both fees include GST. The same two fees apply to the smallest order and the largest order in the table, so the delivery line in your costing should stay flat as the brochure quantity grows.
Take the worked example from the price list. You order 250 DL Roll Trifold (A4 folded to DL) brochures on 115 gsm Gloss, and the run total is $308.96. Add standard delivery at $10, and the total you approve becomes $318.96. Add express delivery at $15, and the total becomes $323.96. The express option simply replaces the standard fee in the total.
There is no threshold that removes the delivery fee at a particular order value. When you map the cost of brochure printing, keep the $10 or $15 as a separate, flat component of the total. It will not vanish because the cart reaches a larger figure.
How to get the best per-unit cost without changing the product
The clearest gain comes from moving to the next quantity break when your planned run is close to it. A DL Roll Trifold or A5 Bifold order at 500 units totals $382.78, or $0.76 per brochure. The same formats at 1,000 units total $435.25, or $0.43 per brochure. The total increases, but the price per brochure drops sharply.
Choose the folded format the job needs, not the largest sheet you can fill. A compact DL Roll Trifold is often the right piece for a pocket-size handout, and it carries the same pricing as the A5 Bifold because both are folded from an A4 sheet. The A4 Bifold, folded from A3, costs more at every quantity, so it is best reserved for layouts that genuinely need the larger spread. Our brochure printing sizes guide walks through the formats before you commit artwork.
Keep the job on the priced configuration of 115 gsm Gloss and stay within the four quantities in the table when you want the figures above to hold. Before you approve anything, check the live page. Prices were read on 14 September 2026 and can change after that date. You can also compare related printed pieces in the marketing materials category, and our tri fold, gate fold and Z fold brochures guide covers folded options beyond the three priced in this article.
How the three priced formats compare
At 500 units, the DL Roll Trifold and A5 Bifold formats both total $382.78. They share that price because both are folded from the same A4 sheet. The finished piece is different, but the sheet going through the press is not. The A4 Bifold at 500 units totals $625.67, because it is folded from a larger A3 sheet to create the A4 spread.
That structure makes the format choice a layout decision as much as a budget decision. A DL Roll Trifold suits a compact six-panel piece that slides into a pocket or sits in a mailer. The A5 Bifold gives you four panels with more room in each panel. The A4 Bifold suits a large flat spread, a rate card or a poster-like piece folded down to a substantial handout. The sheet size you choose is the sheet size you pay for.
