Folders with cards
Folders and cards are useful tools for made-to-measure communications, as content can be calibrated to meet the needs of each situation. A folder may contain only the information or products that may be of interest to a given client or a certain context, such as a trade exhibition. At times, a folder with product cards may replace the traditional catalogue. In this case, there are no standard formats: the dimensions of cards will be proportional to the required product information, while the folder will be slightly larger.
Recommended grammage: from 220 gsm to 300 gsm
Printing and specialty printing
Together with offset printing and hot foil stamping, printing techniques used in corporate communications include, blind embossing, that makes it possible to reproduce graphic elements on the surface of the paper without using inks: for example, blind embossing may be used if one wants a logo to appear discretely on the page. Termographic printing, whereby inked parts are in relief, is used for classic institutional printed matter (letterhead paper and business cards), but may also be used to highlight a particular element (such as a trademark) in relation to other graphic elements.

Of
Binding
On the whole, catalogues and annual reports are held together with staples or a spiral binding, however, it is not uncommon to come across products bound with particular or special materials. The simplest alternative is glue binding, a solution which is not particularly long-lasting unless it is executed to perfection. Thread stitching is a more resistant binding option, suitable for publications with a greater value. Another excellent binding option is provided by a Singer sewn cloth cover without forgetting the possibility of not using any binding at all but relying simply on folding.
Cutting and creasing
Together with creasing, the die-cutting is essential for cutting and folding paperboard and card cases. It also creates windows that display the contents of the package. Die-cutting is used to make holes with simple outlines, while laser cutting ensures greater precision in the final result, as well as the creation of more elaborate shapes and patterns.
