Brochures, Flyers, Business Cards and Printed Marketing Materials
Printed marketing materials are the pieces people take away and keep: a brochure after a meeting, a flyer from an event stand, a business card in a wallet, a folder with a proposal inside. Because they're held in the hand, paper weight, finish and folding quality are noticed just as much as the design.
This page covers print for sales, events and the office. If you need shelf talkers, standees or counter cards for a store, see retail and promotional printing instead. Send your artwork, quantities and a note on how each piece will be used, and we'll suggest stocks and finishes that suit.
Typical applications
Brochures and catalogues
Folded or bound documents that present your products, services or ranges in detail.
Flyers and leaflets
Single sheets for events, launches, mail-outs and handouts at stands.
Business cards
Cards for the whole team, set from one template so every name looks consistent.
Stationery and presentation folders
Letterheads, compliment slips, envelopes and folders for proposals and client packs.

Questions
Do business cards for a whole team need separate artwork?
Usually not. If you send one approved template and a list of names, titles and contact details, each card can be set from it. You'll be asked to check a proof of every name before printing.
What's the difference between a brochure and a catalogue?
A brochure is typically a short folded or stapled piece that introduces what you do. A catalogue is longer, lists products in detail and usually needs binding. Page count is what decides the binding method.
Should I print a large quantity to lower the unit cost?
Only if the content won't change soon. Prices, staff and phone numbers go out of date, and unused stock is wasted. It's often sensible to print what you'll use in the next few months.
