If you are working on a booklet that is for event programs then it would need other specifications that are quite dissimilar with the conventional booklet printing tips for cost reduction. Nevertheless, there are particular features that should always be present.
To print booklets, you have to settle the design and printing options. But since you want to create a booklet for an event, then might as well make it very colorful. Here are the features that you have to consider when printing a colorful program booklet.
Program booklets for events are usually printed in much larger papers. Most of the time, booklets distributed during events are of big dimensions. They are not that thick but they reach sizes like the letter size bond paper or larger ones, if necessary. The use of large pages is important because there are a lot of significant details that should be contained and compressed in pages of the booklet. Furthermore, program event booklets also demand the designing of a lot of relevant images. Graphics require a lot of space. With these in mind, it is therefore strongly suggested that you use bigger dimensions in lay-outing and printing.
As mentioned earlier, a program booklet needs to hold as many pictures as possible. Images are incorporated in the paper not just because they are relevant but also because they are pleasing to the eyes that they keep the readers more attracted to the booklet. Your portraits, on the other hand, should maintain the excitement of the readers and event participants by showcasing what they should expect.
Moreover, you have to add a section for the table of contents in the booklet. Since there will be a couple of pages and contents in the booklet, you should attempt at organizing the substance by putting chapters and translating them into the table of contents. Also, other than for the purpose of organization, the table of contents serves as the guide for the participants just in case they want to proceed to a specific part of the booklet directly.
It is also strongly suggested that you use paper stock that are glossy and beautiful when you print booklets. You need to make use of these types of papers in order to make your booklet look more impressive and professional. Just be careful that your printer is compatible with the paper. If you will hire a printing company, ensure that you have made the necessary arrangements with them.
