Posters and Banners – For poster and banner printing it is best to submit pdfs.  Users design posters or banners most often using PowerPoint or InDesign. While most find PowerPoint easier to use, InDesign is more powerful and flexible.  Whichever program is utilized, design the poster to the actual size you wish it to be printed.  For best results, avoid scaling it up from a smaller size.Poster Mounting - Posters can be permanently mounted onto foam boards. Two standard sizes are available, 20”x30” or 24”x36”.  Design the poster to the actual size you want it printed. If your poster is smaller than the standard board it can be mounted and trimmed to the exact size of your poster.  Posters mounted on foam board are sometimes referred to as “easel posters” as they are usually displayed on an easel.

Booklets are printed on 8.5” x 11” paper, folded in half and 2 staples applied in the crease of the fold (saddle stitched).  Simple jobs can be printed as black and white on #20 copy paper up to 25 sheets (100 pages).  Color booklets are printed on premium #32 smooth paper up to 20 sheets (80 pages).

Pamphlets are unbound, single subject leaflets that are usually folded into two or more sections. 

Brochures are multi-page print products. They’re typically printed as single sheets and are often folded as a bi-fold or trifold creating pages. They’re typically printed on both sides and unlike flyers always have folds. A simple brochure would be printed on 8.5”x11” paper and folded in half or thirds.  Brochures can also be made using multiple pieces of paper that can fastened together with 2 staples applied in the crease of the fold (saddle stitched). 

Newsletters are a written report, issued periodically, typically by a business, institution, or other organization, that presents information and news to people with a specific interest in the organization or subject.  A typical newsletter may be printed on both sides of an 11”x17” sheet of paper, folded and two staples applied in the crease of the fold to secure multiple sheets.

Flyers are a single printed sheet and unfolded.  Flyers may be printed on one or both sides.  They are most often printed on standard 8.5”x11” paper, but they may be any size so long as they’re relatively easy to handle.
