Paper Brochure: No More Secret For Its Realization

  Printing a paper brochure

A brochure is the assembly of several printed sheets, stapled or more exactly assembled from staples. It is usually distributed to traders or department stores and serves as a reference medium for potential customers: product characteristics, prices, models or others. If the support has a large number of pages, the staples are insufficient and a binding must be used: we then speak of a magazine or catalog.

A magazine or catalog generally performs the same function as a brochure, except that it contains a large number of pages, which allows it to offer more content than a brochure. It is also equipped with a cover for a better aesthetic rendering. It is used to present a company, advertising medium, periodical or other.

Les Grandes Imprimeries is an online printing company that takes care of the production of brochures and catalogs of high quality and different aspects.

To guide you through our site, find below various technical points offered by the brochure printing company www.lesgrandesimpressionies.com.

The number of pages for the production of brochures and paper catalogs on our site

Double-sided brochures or catalogs are offered in an open format, which logically gives two printed pages, double-sided; but during shaping, the printed sheets are folded in half, thus giving 4 pages in closed format.

Shaping in the printing works is the last operation to be carried out. For the production of a brochure or a catalogue, the folding of the sheets in two is one of the last operations to be carried out during shaping.

A brochure must therefore have at least 4 pages.

The difference between a brochure and a catalog lies in the number of pages. When it becomes too large, staples are no longer enough and we resort to binding.

Binding consists of gluing the inside of the folded sheets together, using glue.

Since the pagination of a brochure or catalog requires printing of at least 4 pages, Les Grandes Imprimeries offers you the possibility of printing your supports in 8, 12, 16, 20 pages, and up to 200 pages ( the cover is included in the number of pages).

Creating a catalog makes it possible to offer more content, such as for periodicals, directories, etc. However, making brochures with a small number of pages is feasible if you only want to communicate on promotional sales or ensure an advertising campaign.

Generally, brochures or catalogs are collections, in paper, printed, illustrated or not, presenting various subjects or objects.

Les Grandes Imprimeries offers different paper supports for the production of your brochures and catalogs, in order to guarantee you a unique and perfect result.

The most suitable paper support for a perfect print rendering of a paper brochure, for the design of a brochure or an online catalog

On our online al waraq printing press, we offer the best paper supports in order to best satisfy our customers. The choice of support is essential for a good print result.

The supports in coated paper and uncoated paper are optional for the production of your brochures and catalogs.

     The advantages of using coated paper as a support for making brochures or catalogs

Mainly used for the printing of magazines, brochures or catalogues, the coated paper has been specially coated with various components in order to make the rough surface of the paper smoother and more uniform, but also to improve the whiteness of the paper and to allow high quality printing.

     The advantages of uncoated paper for making brochures or catalogs

With surface calendering, offset paper looks more natural and softer to the touch. Even with a low grammage, it is denser thanks to its composition. It is one of the optional supports for the production of brochures or catalogs; it also belongs to the category of uncoated papers. Withstanding harsh conditions, offset is more resistant to decomposition and tearing.

     Recycled offset or cyclus paper

To remain in the category of uncoated papers, recycled offset or cyclus is the result of the integral recycling of fibres. It retains its qualities for offset and also contributes to the protection of the environment because it comes from complete recycling.

Before buying or reading a brochure or a catalog, the first impression that a reader makes, without even knowing the content, is related to the external appearance of the catalog.

Producing brochures or large-format catalogs makes it possible to highlight certain subjects or objects to be promoted. Recently, some magazine publishers have resized theirs in order to make them more original and win over new readers.

Les Grandes Imprimeries offers you the main optional formats, for the creation of brochures or catalogues.

The main optional formats for producing brochures or catalogs on our online printing press

On our online printing shop, we offer small and large paper formats for your projects, with three possible orientations: French, Italian and square.

Generally, for the design of brochures or catalogs, the format is square or rectangular.

Orientation à la française, in the jargon of the printing press, or the port mode in computer language, is the fact of using the surface of the support in the direction of the height or the length.

Italian orientation (or landscape mode) is the opposite of portrait mode, that is to say in width.

French orientation or portrait mode for printing an advertising catalog

Les Grandes Imprimeries offers you the possibility of producing your French-style brochures or catalogs in the following different closed formats:

      A4 size: 210 x 297 mm.

      A5 size: 148 x 210 mm.

      A6 size: 105 x 148mm.

      A7 size: 105 x 74 mm.

      105 x 210 mm and 105 x 297 mm formats are also available.

Italian orientation or landscape mode

On our online al waraq printing press, in both Italian and French orientation, it is possible to produce your brochures and catalogs in closed formats A4, A5, A6, A7 as well as in 105 x 297 mm format. DL or 210 x 98 mm format is also available.

The DL format is the format of an envelope, which ideally can contain A4 size paper by folding it 3 times in a row.

The square

As its name suggests, the square format is a format that has 4 sides of the same dimensions. We offer the following formats: the 120 x 120 mm format, which is that of CD jackets, or the 210 x 210 mm format.

As mentioned above, a sheet printed on both sides in closed format, when shaping or folding the sheets in 2, gives rise to 4 pages for the production of brochures or catalogs. Example: in open format, a sheet printed on both sides, in A3 or 420 x 297 mm format, normally comprises 2 printed pages; after folding (shaping) or closed format, the page format becomes A4 or 210 x 297 mm, with 4 printed pages.

The quality print rendering of brochures or magazines is what makes it successful: the selected weight is therefore essential for the final rigidity or flexibility.

The printing quality of large printing houses to produce brochures and paper catalogs:

For 250 copies or less, the use of the digital printing technique is more appropriate; on the other hand, for a larger quantity, the use of the offset printing technique is more appropriate. In addition, offset reduces the manufacturing cost due to its ability to produce large print runs.

Nowadays, the printing results of offset or digital techniques are identical.

At Les Grandes Imprimeries, we use these two techniques, four-sided recto-verso or double-sided color printing.

The different papers in magazine printing

The importance of grammages and the options to choose from on our site

The grammage is a way like any other to measure the thickness of a sheet. The heavier a sheet, the thicker it is, and the heavier and stiffer it is. Producing your brochures or catalogs with a heavy weight gives them increased resistance to tearing and deterioration, but it also gives them a high-end appearance. It goes without saying that using light weight paper would be less expensive to produce brochures or catalogs.

Generally, the cover or sheet used to wrap the brochure or catalog is often made from heavyweight paper for better quality. However, if your budget is quite limited, opt for a low-weight cover instead.

At the big printers, to produce your brochures and catalogues, we offer different weights:

Cover weight for brochures and catalogs

      Offset: 80g.

      Matt coated paper: 90 g, 115 g, 135 g, 150 g, 170 g, 200 g, 250 g and 300 g.

      Gloss coated paper: 115 g, 135 g, 150 g, 170 g, 200 g, 250 g and 300 g.

      Recycled paper or cyclus paper: 130 g.

Weight for inside brochures and catalogs

      Offset: 80g.

      Matt coated paper: 90 g, 115 g, 135 g, 150 g, 170 g, 200 g, 250 g and 300 g.

      coated paper

Recycled paper or cyclus paper: 130 g.

On our site, these weights are interchangeable for the production of covers as well as for the inside pages of your brochures or catalogs.

Finishes are essential for the embellishment of brochures and catalogs.

Finishes applied to brochures and catalogs

In addition to the ideal weight, excellent print quality, in the formats and with the appropriate supports, the addition of a finish makes it possible to embellish your brochures and catalogs, both outside and inside.

Apart from offset, which offers the level of quality required for the production of brochures and catalogues, we use matt and glossy finishes on coated paper, both for the cover and for the pages.

With these options, it is therefore possible for you to produce brochures or catalogs in offset, in matt or glossy coated paper in full. Differentiating the outside look from the inside look is also possible, for example by using gloss for the cover and matte inside, and vice versa.

      The matte effect

Giving a high-end or more elegant style, the matte effect is used especially for printing dark colors.

      The shiny effect

It is mainly used for printing bright colors: the glossy effect intensifies them, makes them more vibrant and thus highlights them.

Printing of brochures and catalogs in different quantities and at discount prices

Logically, the lighter or lighter the paper, the less expensive the support. On the other hand, with a heavy weight, the rendering, the visual and the touch are of better quality.

Ordering large quantities from Les Grandes Imprimeries allows you to significantly reduce the cost of carrying out your projects. You can order your brochures and catalogs from just 105 euros.

The number of pages of brochures or catalogs influences their price.

It is possible for us to ensure small quantities of your brochures and catalogs, 500 copies or less. And for larger print runs, we can go up to 1,000,000 copies.

We will carefully study all your quote proposals concerning prices, quantities, formats, weights, etc.
