Product Selection

What are marketing materials?

Marketing materials are printed items used for promotion, communication, and brand visibility. These typically include flyers, brochures, leaflets, postcards, and promotional handouts.

How do I choose the right product?

The choice depends on distribution method and content length:

• Flyers or leaflets for quick distribution

• Brochures for structured information

• Postcards for direct messaging

• Folded formats for multi-section content

When should I use a brochure instead of a flyer?

Use a brochure when information needs to be organised into sections. Flyers are better for simple messages or announcements.

What paper types are available?

Common options include coated paper for colour graphics and uncoated paper for readability and writing.

What thickness should I choose?

Thicker paper provides rigidity and durability, while lighter paper is suitable for high-volume distribution.

Can marketing materials be laminated?

Lamination may be applied for durability or handling resistance, depending on product type.

Are special finishes available?

Certain products may support finishing such as scoring or folding depending on format.
