You don't need those loud designs, or that special thick glossy cover in booklet printing.
In these times when the economy is still in flux, it is good to be safe
and do things practical with all your custom materials including booklet printing.
In this article I have just the advice for you on how to be practical
about booklet printing this holiday season, saving on printing costs
and maximizing your impact.
1. Using simple clear books - Did you know that you can easily use "clear books" as an alternative to professionally produced booklets? If you only need a few copies of your booklet pages for presentation purposes, you can skip the whole booklet printing production and just buy some clear books. With clear books you can just print up the booklet pages on letter sized paper and slide them into the plastic sleeves. You'll have instant customizable booklets perfect for training manuals, presentations and even public relation kits. This is a practical move especially if you only need 5-10 full color booklets. 2. Cheap binding techniques - Now, you can also be practical and go for cheap binding techniques in your booklets. Anything from simple stapling, comb binding and ring binding is perfect. These binding techniques are pretty cheap and sometimes booklet printing companies offer it for free. The more expensive "perfect" binding technique might look better and cleaner, but with a usual 10% addition to printing costs, it might not be practical unless you have a big budget for booklet printing this season. So try those cheaper binding techniques if you want to be really practical about this. 3. Cheaper but more numerous booklets - If you are in the promotions game with your booklets a good practical tip is to print cheaper but more numerous promotional color booklets. Quantity is better than quality especially during good market seasons like the holidays. Since lots of people don't mind cheaper looking booklets and focus on the information within them for shopping and sales, you can safely print cheaper booklets to get a bigger share of the market pie. 4. Online booklet printing - To be practical with booklet printing during the holidays, it is also good to print online. Online booklet printing has gone a long way and you can easily produce simple and effective color booklets without actually leaving your office. This is a nice technique especially if you are really busy with other holiday promotions. So if you are a bit loaded with marketing tasks and other promotional activities for business you can try online booklet printing to be practical about your time. 5. Standard options - Finally, to make it easier on you during this season, try to not be afraid of the standard options for booklet printing. Most printers have standard booklet printing packages which you can avail of with a fixed price. These standard options are usually cheaper (albeit lacking in originality) so if you just want to get your message across out there and want to save money on it, try using those standard options. It might lack the customized features of an original booklet but it will be less of a hassle for you and in most cases be cheaper. So those are the practical tips I can give you in booklet printing this season. You can save money and save time by doing this tips while maintaining a decent effort for booklet printing.
