Company brochures are nearly always A4 in size and as result they are rather predictable. However, it doesn't have to be this way.

And since you may well need to create a Financial Prospectus in any case, it is worth bearing in mind the elements that are required and some additional items which you may choose to include within your Financial Prospectus.

Poster printing has a long and rich history. Used by artists and propagandists, advertisers and PR gurus. Printed posters can tell a story on a single sheet of paper. And you see them everywhere you go from the side of bus shelters to train stations. But how much should poster printing cost and which format has been found to be the most effective? Small posters don't really work: The first thing to know about the printed poster is that it should be big. Ideally very BIG! No one takes n ...more
They are small and highly cost effective to produce. Full colour printed postcards are an easy marketing decision for your company. Here are six great reasons why you should consider the humble postcard in your marketing armoury: 1. Postcard Pricing: Postcards occupy a small piece of card (usually at A6 or perhaps the slightly larger A5 format) meaning that they are inexpensive to produce.

In this internet age it is tempting to think that all news and updates are supplied online. Maybe you even PDF up your printed newsletter and attach it to your website for download or email it out.

The short answer is that there are any number of places where you could get to get your leaflets printed from the print shop on the high street through to some internet site that you have never heard of before but you are about to enter your credit card details either way. So this is a good moment to stop and take a reality check. Are you certain you know who you are working with and is the leaflet printing company a fly-by-night outfit who will be here today, gone tomorrow, with your artwork ...more
The printed catalogue is certainly much rarer than it was in days gone by. But marketing experts confirm that this has created a new niche market. The colour printed catalogue now tends to represent the top-end of a market. After all, if the company behind the catalogue has gone to the extent of physically printing a multi-page catalogue then you know they must have a range of products which are worthy of being shown off via proper printing. If you are a marketing executive then your number o ...more
There is not getting away from it. When you buy something new and it comes well presented you just feel more excited about receiving it. Just think about how Apple so beautifully present their products and you will appreciate that good design and great custom printed packaging can mean a great deal to the end user. I well remember getting my first iPod. Frankly I’d never seen anything quite like it before. But there was just something about the way that the box was constructed and the in ...more

Printed books still maintain a certain cache which is unlikely to ever be replaced by sitting hunched over your laptop screen or even with one of those funky book reading devices which have become popular. So book printing and printers are definitely here to stay. The truth is that most people simply prefer to have a book that they can physically hold in their hands. The individual characteristic of each page, slightly creased or perhaps grubby if it’s been shared gives the book a sense of ...more
