How Much Does Brochure Printing Cost in Dubai?
Brochure pricing in Dubai is quoted as a total for the quantity, not a fixed per-piece rate, and the per-piece cost changes sharply as quantity rises. Here are the real prices from PrintOnline's standard tri-fold brochure (A4, 150 GSM, tri-fold), correct at the time of writing, so you can budget an order accurately rather than guess.
Base pricing by quantity
| Quantity | Price (AED) | Per piece (AED) |
|---|---|---|
| 100 copies | 235 | 2.35 |
| 250 copies | 430 | 1.72 |
| 500 copies | 490 | 0.98 |
| 1,000 copies | 540 | 0.54 |
| 2,000 copies | 735 | 0.37 |
| 5,000 copies | 1,350 | 0.27 |
These are the base price for unlaminated brochures. Why the price barely moves between 250 and 500 copies, and why per-piece cost keeps falling after that, comes down to a switch from digital to offset printing at the 500-copy mark; the mechanics are explained in digital vs offset brochure printing.
What lamination adds
Matte or gloss lamination is available from 500 copies upward:
| Quantity | Lamination cost (AED) |
|---|---|
| 500 | 65 |
| 1,000 | 90 |
| 2,000 to 5,000 | 160 |
So 1,000 laminated brochures come to AED 540 + AED 90 = AED 630 total, or AED 0.63 per piece.
What urgent production adds
Standard production is 3 to 5 working days at 500 copies and above. An urgent 24-hour turnaround is available for a surcharge of AED 25 or AED 50 depending on the order specification. Production time is counted from artwork approval, so factor in your own time to review and approve the proof, not just the quoted production days.
What delivery adds
Courier delivery within Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman city limits, and to the other emirates, takes 1 to 2 days after production and is included in the price. A special driver delivers within 6 hours of production for AED 50, or within 10 hours for AED 150.
A worked example
1,000 tri-fold brochures, matte laminated, standard production, delivered by courier within Dubai:
- Base: AED 540
- Lamination: AED 90
- Delivery: included
- Total: AED 630, or AED 0.63 per brochure
The same order with 6-hour special driver delivery adds AED 50, bringing the total to AED 680.
What is not included
These prices are for straightforward brochure printing to a print-ready file. They do not include design work beyond the 60 minutes of free support for a standard layout, and they assume artwork meets the standard 300 DPI, 3 mm bleed requirement. Reprints are not offered once an order is approved and produced, so budget time to review the proof properly rather than to redo the order.
Where the money goes at different quantities
For a one-off event or a design you want to test, 100 to 250 copies keeps the total spend low even though the per-piece cost is highest. For an ongoing company brochure you will be using for months, 1,000 to 5,000 copies brings the per-piece cost down to a fraction of the small-run price, and the fixed costs of design and setup are spread across far more pieces. Choosing the right quantity for your actual use case matters more to total cost than any other single decision; see the full breakdown in the brochure printing guide.
