Brochure Printing Company

A brochure printing company can offer a dazzling array of ideas, colors, designs and methods of distribution that can make any project an appealing way to get a business's or organization's message out to its targeted audience. Commercial brochure printing has made startling advances in the method and quality of color publishing as well as the speed with which the job can be accomplished. With the onset of almost any kind of business being able to be transacted online, customers have a choice of going to a local printer in their hometown, or now choose some of the many online printers that can upload a customer's own files, do some enhancement and have the product shipped within five or six days in most cases. Surprisingly some online printers advertise twenty four hour turnaround times. So what should a person look for when choosing printer to handle a four color folded ad project?

If a person goes to a mom and pop commercial brochure printing company in his/her hometown, the customer can probably verify pretty easily and quickly how long the service has actually been in business. Checking local references, checking with the Better Business Bureau and other verifying resources can bring reassurance or doubt to a company's veracity and commitment to quality. It is not always true, but a person might find that the local publishing companies may have sterling reputations but are also more expensive. In addition, the company may not be able to deliver a brochure as quickly as needed. This may be especially true if the local printing company has a small staff.

If a customer is considering an online printer, some of the advertised commercial brochure printing companies that appear to be actual printers may only be middlemen. In other words, these companies do not have or own printing equipment, but only serve as the set up and ordering source. In some cases, this could prove to be a little frustrating to a customer wishing to make a late minute change to an order. But still there is the reality that these online printers do have some very intriguing prices as one searches through all the possibilities. A most interesting facet of the online printing buying experience is being able to choose every option available with a click of the mouse. Then, upon making all options clear, a final cost can be seen clearly on the screen.

When dealing with a brochure printing company a person must choose such things as the heaviness and finish of paper stock, including matte and glossy finish, full color or four color, folded or not and both front and back printing or only one side. But if a person is doing a brochure, that's a two sided project in most cases. Then, typically one must choose the turnaround time, with the shorter time being more expensive. The reason for that is that the printer must lay aside some other projects to get the requested shorter turnaround time fulfilled. "Though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor and though I give my body to be burned and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing." (I Corinthians 13:3)

Commercial brochure printing is truly a way to set oneself apart as a first class organization from those business philosophies that still haven't realized the power of first impressions. From churches to banks to realtors and non-profits, handing a visitor, a prospect or just someone on the street a well done and attractive four color foded ad is a personal but subtle way of getting noticed and perhaps even considered. In comparison the organization that still tries to cut corners with literature that is fresh of the copy machine can pretty much expect to be quickly ignored and discarded. Americans have quickly come to demand high definition television, and the same goes with the "Get to Know You" printed material handed out by an organization. And in fact, that is exactly what most brochure printing is all about: getting to know an organization and/or the special services or products it offers.

One of the biggest ways to cut down on the price that any brochure printing company might charge is to have the entire layout camera ready, or in today's parlance, computer ready. The price quotes from various local and online printers are come on prices and will not include design, layout and any other time consuming chores that precede the actual printing process. Many experts suggest using brochure design software to lay out the exact design a customer wants, including all photos and then submitting those files to the printer. One should make sure that the printer, either local or online sends a copy of the ready to go layout for final approval before the color drums start rolling. Nothing worse than a company selling tuna fish having to pay for ten thousand brochures advertising puma fish instead.

So if a small company wants to use a commercial brochure printing company to do a small, one sided brochure, how much will the project cost for five hundred copies? Some online companies offer the printing done for as little as fifty dollars, not including shipping. Will it be quality work? Who knows, but it is four color and one sided. Maybe it will be printed on tissue paper. Maybe paying more means less headaches, by going with a local printer, but a well done brochure can be an important part of an overall marketing strategy.
