Developments In Brochure Printing

By Jude Clark

Brochures have always been one of the most essential marketing tools for any organization. They can be kept on store counters, distributed to spread the word about a company, or even mailed to prospective customers. The demand for brochures and their printing has led many printing services firms to dedicate themselves to this market. There have been many revolutionary changes in brochure printing in recent decades and the internet along with digital techniques is ushering many of them.

Until just a few years back, computers were rarely used in the brochure printing process, which took several days, working with film negatives or plate-making machines and needed multiple test prints, adjustments etc. Designing too was restricted to a few set formats, and the printers executed the designing task with the customer having nothing to do in the matter.

These days, the client from his office can himself format the brochure and send it online to the printing company, and he also doesn't have to wait for weeks for the final product to be supplied to him. Technology has advanced far enough to make 24 hour printing possible, enabling any number of prints to be delivered to the customer within a day's time.

One should not forget that brochure printing entails cautious consideration of features like content, graphics and formatting. With the advent of digital technology, printing companies have begun to provide a clutch of benefits to the clients in this area, like high resolution colour printing, multiple options in complicated formats and designs, and smart packages on content-building.

Amongst the several advanced alternatives provided by printing services firms, digital brochures and full-colour brochures are most in demand. Such brochures are fit to be used on a medium or long-term basis. But when it comes to brochure circulation in large volume, but for a restricted time span, then dazzling but brief brochures that undergo a brief print run fit the bill perfectly. To develop such brochures, the best method to go for is off-set printing, as a good number of prints can be obtained in a minimum time span, though it takes a little more time for all the pre-printing tasks in this technique.

Nowadays brochure printing firms also offer ancillary services besides guaranteeing superior quality of prints for their clients. These include distribution, direct mailing, designing, and a lot more.

Perhaps the most significant advancement in brochure printing has been the internet, through which customers look for and access printing services, place orders, view templates, and pick the configurations for the print order. Therefore, brochure printing has come a long way in a comparatively short time, and the pace of advancements does not seem to be slowing down at all.
