Instructions On Developing And Printing Brochures

By Norman Chow

Brochures are important promotional materials for all types of organizations. They present vital information about a company like its offerings and their advantages over the competition, its key features, its contact information, and so on, hence imparting credibility to it in the marketplace. Brochure design and printing is of high importance as they can be a critical component of a successful marketing campaign. Read on to discover some valuable advice both on brochure development and brochure printing.

The design process of a brochure must ensure that the end result looks professional, provides details in a clear and brief fashion, and is attractive to the target audience. It should use text and pictures in the right combination, while the colours should also be used carefully. All the elements like fonts, borders, images etc. should fuse perfectly. In addition to being coherent and reader friendly, the brochure must also be a visual delight and not cluttered.

While developing a brochure, brochure printing aspects should be kept in mind. It is generally a wise decision to take a test print out to see how the final brochure is going to look before you send it for large volume printing.

The design should be created taking into account the brochure printing fund allocation. In case you have a restricted budget, you can always fall back on black and white printing as it turns out to be much cheaper than colour printing. If you are not limited by budget and are planning for colorful brochures, then thicker and glossier papers should be used, as they enhance the beauty of colour prints. Even if you are creating a concise brochure with both sides printed, then ensure that the paper is strong and its thickness is sufficient for clean printing on both sides.

Looking for rebates from the printer makes good sense if brochure printing is being done in bulk. However, to maintain the good name of the company, and to project a professional image to potential customers, quality must always be top on the priority list, even if it slightly increases the costs.
