Advancements In Brochure Printing

By Allana Clark

Brochures have always been one of the most important promotion tools for any business. They can be circulated like leaflets or posted at customers' addresses, or can just be kept in retail outlets for customers to pick them up. The need for brochures and their printing has led many printing services companies to concentrate solely on this market. Advancements like digital technology, graphic design tools, and the internet have radically transformed the traditional mould of brochure printing.

Before computers were utilized for the purpose, brochure printing involved a whole lot of elaborate and laborious jobs like multiple rounds of test printing, making adjustments, getting film negatives, and making use of plate-making tools. Designing too was limited to a few set patterns, and the printers carried out the designing job with the client having almost no say in the matter.

Now, however, brochures are designed, transferred to the printing company, and edited on computers, usually by the customer himself, and the end product is printed and delivered within a much shorter time span. With technology advancing rapidly, immediate printing of numerous brochures and their quick delivery within a matter of 24 hours has become a reality.

One should not forget that brochure printing involves careful consideration of aspects like content, graphics and formatting. The advent of digital technology has opened up a vista of advancements in this area like high quality full-colour printing, complex layout schemes, and smart packages on content-building.

Printing services firms offer many latest choices to customers, among which full-colour brochures and digital brochures are most favoured by them. Such brochures are fit to be used for a medium or longer period of time. But when it comes to brochure circulation in huge numbers, but for a restricted time span, then colourful but brief brochures that have a short print run fit the bill perfectly. Off-set printing, which is a comparatively older method, is still very popular for these brochures as even though it requires more time to make the brochures, a huge number of copies can be printed at one go.

Nowadays brochure printing firms also offer ancillary services besides ensuring better quality of prints for their clients. These include services like brochure design, direct mailing, circulation etc.

Perhaps the most important advancement in brochure printing has been the internet, through which customers look for and obtain printing services, place orders, view templates, and select the configurations for the print order. Thus, brochure printing has changed a lot in recent years, and is about to experience even more innovative changes in the coming years.
