Why choose Minuteman Press Chicago

Local production, consistent quality, and a proof-first process that keeps rush jobs under control.

Fast, controlled turnaround

Rush and same-day options when feasible—built around file readiness, proof approvals, and realistic finishing time.

 

Proof-first workflow

You receive a digital proof for layout and panel flow before production—especially important on tri-folds and multi-panel pieces.

 

Clean folds + alignment

Accurate scoring/folding keeps panels aligned and readable—reduces cracking risk and improves the finished feel.

 

Reliable reorders

Once your brochure spec is set, reprints are straightforward—same size, same fold, same look.

 

Brochure options

Choose a format that fits your message, timeline, and budget.

 

Common formats

• Bi-fold (half-fold) brochures
• Tri-fold brochures
• Z-fold and roll-fold (when applicable)
• Gate fold (as schedule allows)
• Multi-page saddle-stitched booklets (rush availability varies)
 
 

Paper + finish

• Gloss, matte, or uncoated stocks (availability varies by rush level)
• Heavier cover stocks for premium feel (when applicable)
• Optional coatings/lamination (adds time)
• Scoring recommended for heavier stocks to reduce cracking
 
 

Finishing (what impacts “same-day”)

• Fold type and panel count
• Scoring requirements for thicker stocks
• Bundling (sets by count) and boxing
• Cut-to-size and trim time
• Quantity requested
 
 

File check + panel flow help

• We verify panel order and key content placement
• Bleeds and trim safety checked before print
• PDF preferred for fastest processing
• If you’re unsure, send what you have—we’ll advise the best next move
 

Preferred intake (fastest quoting)

Quick FAQ

Common rush brochure questions.

Can you really do brochures same-day?
Often, yes—when files are print-ready, approvals are quick, and the quantity/finishing fits the schedule. Send details and we’ll confirm feasibility.

 

What’s the fastest file format?
A print-ready PDF with bleeds (if needed) and fonts embedded. If you’re not sure, send what you have and we’ll advise.

 

What usually slows down rush jobs?
Missing panel setup for tri-folds, low-res images, late proof approvals, specialty finishing, and high quantities that exceed same-day production capacity.

 

Quote form

Include your in-hand date, size + fold type (bi-fold/tri-fold), quantity, paper preference (gloss/matte/uncoated), and attach your PDF (preferred). If you need same-day, note your required pickup time and we’ll confirm feasibility.
