Brochure
When extensive contents have to be communicated and the space in a leaflet is not enough, one may decide to produce a brochure, which is a booklet with a small number of pages (generally no more than 32). Brochures are printed using the signature system, which must be kept in mind during the design stage when choosing the format. If the brochure must be mailed it is important to consider the envelope formats and the weight, to avoid higher mailing costs.
Digital printing
A digital printing system, such as laser or HP Indigo technology, makes it possible to achieve a result similar to offset printing but without the use of a template being as the image is transferred directly from a file. Digital technology is a great solution for printing small quantities and is mainly used in print-on-demand systems and in customised printing applications to achieve more effective and targeted communication. It is always a good idea to check which types of paper are compatible with digital printing as these are characterised by a special treatment which guarantees optimum performance.

Binding
Given the limited number of pages, saddle stitching is the most common form of binding for brochures, but perfect binding may also be used, selecting, for example, glue binding. It is not uncommon, however, to come across more elaborate versions such as thread stitching or Singer sewn bindings, while sometimes the brochure may be folded only, i.e. without binding.
