Some of the Key Questions that you should Ask your Brochure Printer

Did you hire that brochure printer already? Well, before you actually make that commitment, you should try first to ask some key questions that will help you judge if that firm can really deliver the color brochures that you want. Luckily for you, I have here the right kind of questions that you will want to ask first. If you want to assure no problems with printing your brochures, it is imperative that you get all the answers from these questions. So try to review the list below and ask them directly to your printing service.

1. What kinds of brochures can you print? – There are actually many kinds of brochures that can be printed these days. While the trifold brochure is the most standard and common, you actually have lots of other types of options, from gate folds, accordion folds, Z Folds and other types of brochure folds.

If you are trying to create varied kinds of brochures, or just trying to be creative, then it is best to ask your brochure printer what kinds of brochures they can print. It is best to work with a printer that is flexible with the ability to print those other kinds of brochures just in case you need another kind of configuration.

2. Who are your past clients? – It is good to review who was worked with them before or at least get sample brochure work from the past. This should help you gauge if many people have already worked with that printer before. The more reliable those people or companies look like, the better of course for you.

Of course, if the sample printings from those clients look ok as well, then you should have a promising printer to work with. So make sure that you really try to review and ask about their past clients. If they are confident with their work, believe me, they will give out those past clients and the sample work.

3. What kind of paper and ink material options do you have? – You should also inquire about the kind of paper and ink material that the printer has. This will actually determine the quality of the brochure that you will be printing. That is why it is best to ask what paper materials are available for your brochures, the thickness, the coatings as well as the other types of materials that you can add. Of course, make sure that they also allow customization in the choice of these materials so that you have full control over the quality and look of your custom brochures.

4. How fast and how far can you deliver? – Most brochure printers should already have delivery services. If your prospective printing service does not have a deliver service, you should probably get someone else already.

If they do deliver, you should ask how fast and how far they deliver. The best brochure printing companies have nationwide coverage for delivery through courier services, and in most cases the delivery takes 24 hours. If the printer can deliver your brochures like that, then you should have a promising printer in your hands.

5. Can I get a discount? – Lastly, always ask if you can get a discount. It is always good to know if there are promotional discount packages that the printing company offers. Some customer representatives will tell you this outright, while other salespeople will politely forget about it. It is best to be sure and ask about discounts.

It can be something like a bulk wholesale printing discount for the brochures, or it might be a freebie in terms of extra brochure features. Believe me, it is best to ask as you will be surprised at the money you can save or the extra service that you can get.

Good! Now print this out and bring the paper as you transact with the brochure printer. Make sure you ask all these questions. You will get the most out of your brochure printing because of them.
