Once you have done the typical booklet printing rounds and methods, you will probably be looking for something more and better to do with your booklets. Let me give you this opportunity by talking to you about the advanced levels that you can adopt in designing those color booklets. There are many advanced, exciting and amazing things that can be done to improve your prints. Just read on below and see what you think can apply to your own custom booklets.
• Changeable booklet covers – Did you know that you can actually have special booklet covers printed that can easily be changed? That is right! With a special booklet cover or jacket, some booklet printing companies can offer you a changeable booklet cover that can be adjusted depending on who you are giving your color booklets to. Typically, these covers can be folded one way to show one cover and then it can be folded the other way for another cover targeted for a different audience.
This move not only lets you be more adaptable to changing market targets, but it can also save you the trouble of printing booklets in multiple batches. So if you want an advanced booklet with adaptable cover designs, you may want to use some changeable booklet covers.
• Holographic covers – You have probably heard of those special 3D images printed in some magazines and books. These prints are typically fuzzy or weird looking, but when you wear 3D colored glasses, they turn into a more three dimensional image. These “Holographic” images are great to use for advanced booklets since they add an interesting and novel effect to them. If you are printing marketing booklets, this can be your way of being remembered effectively to succeed in those marketing objectives.
Of course take note that this can be expensive, and you will need to hire a different booklet printing company that supports this kind of printing, including the production of paper 3D glasses.
• Exotic inks and coatings – A more advanced level of booklet printing involves using exotic inks and coatings. A typical booklet cover can actually be printed with special inks and coatings that have interesting properties. Those inks may be made of metal which can add a gleam effect to the prints, while the whole cover can be covered with a resistant coating that protects the whole print from moisture. These kind of advanced material coatings can easily increase the longevity of your booklets, while at the same time improving its look and feel in some way.
• Embossing and embedding – Finally, you can use more advanced types of booklet printing that involve the special embossing or embedding of materials unto their covers. The text and other symbols can be embossed for a three dimensional effect, while other materials such as reflectors, plastic studs, and even twine or thread can easily be embedded for a great layout effect. The embossed or embedded materials should make the whole booklet look more expensive and significant that people will think twice about throwing those booklets away, whatever kind of content they have.
So why don’t you try out taking those booklet designs to advanced levels. It never hurts to push the boundaries now and again in booklet printing. Good Luck!
