By Norman Chow

Companies of all kinds and sizes make use of brochures as an important tool of advertising. They present vital information about a company like its products and their superiority over the competition, its key features, its contact information, and so on, hence imparting reliability to it in the marketplace. Since, they play a key role as a marketing tool it is important that they are designed well and undergo fine quality printing. As you proceed with this article, you will get some valuable information on several aspects of brochure printing and design.

The primary aim of a brochure is to convey information. However, it also needs to be visually attractive, so that prospective customers are are curious to read it. It should use text and graphics in the right combination, while the colours should also be used aesthetically. The basic components of design such as outlines, fonts, and images should work in complete unison to bring the desired effect. In addition to being coherent and easy to follow, the brochure must also be a visual delight and not jumbled and messy.

The brochure printing related issues should also be taken care of at the time of designing. It is always recommended to take a test print to see what the end result will look like before sending the design for printing on a mass scale.

You should also be mindful of your financial allocation for brochure printing while conceiving the design. It's a good idea to opt for black and white printing if your budget is small, as it will turn out to be cheaper than coloured printing. However, if budget is not an issue and if vibrant and colorful brochures are what you have in mind, then thick and glossy papers should be chosen for sleek 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 so that prints on either side don't overlap or smudge against each other.

Looking for rebates from the printing company makes good sense if brochure printing is being done on a large scale. However, never compromise on quality, as you do not want to create a negative impression of your company on potential customers.
