Description

Brochures are a popular format for sharing detailed information in an easily presentable way. They are usually colorful and folded, so they are an efficient format for providing information about your company, its products, and services.

Flyers are like Brochures but without being folded.

To order "brochures" that require more than one piece of paper, please go to the catalogs section of this site.

1&2 Color printing does not allow for bleeds. For more information, see the "File Setup" tab.

  • What is Pantone?

2/2

Two colors on both sides of the sheet, including Pantone colors. This option can reproduce exact Pantone colors. A typical example of this is brochures with specific corporate or team colors.

Please note:
In order to reproduce Pantone colors, we will use ink of that specific color. Pantone colors in your file must be specified as the Pantone color you desire. Do not convert the Pantone color to CMYK. While many Pantone colors can be reproduced using blends of CMYK inks, this approach is only available when you order 4-Color Offset or Digital. This is because our 1 & 2 color presses have a maximum of two ink stations.

While many colors can be built as a blend of other colors (for example, red and yellow combined create orange), our 1 & 2 Color printing requires that your files specify that you want orange (Pantone #165) and not a mix of red and yellow.

We get rave reviews for our 1 & 2 Color printing. Following the guidelines above will make it easy for you to get what you want. If you don't know the Pantone color equivalent for the color you want, you can find a Pantone sample book at most art and design stores.
