Bindery / Re: Little pockets in brochures
May 02, 2008, 03:19:32 PM
Wow! That's a lot more replies than I expected, and lots of good ideas! Thanks for all your help, guys!

Unfortunately the pocket, while it was about the size of a business card, wasn't actually for a business card after all. That complicated things a bit. We didn't take into account the extra expense of having a vendor make a die for us when we gave the client the initial quote, and we had to eat our mistake by sitting at the bindery table for hours on end.

I really appreciate all your replies. I think I might end up hanging around here quite a bit! :)

Bindery / Little pockets in brochures
April 30, 2008, 05:33:19 PM
Hi everyone. I'm new to this site, and I'm relatively new to the industry. I work in a small print shop in Canada- small enough that I take part in just about every aspect of production. I thought I'd introduce myself by asking a question about a problem we ran into last week.

We were printing tri-fold brochures, and the client wanted little pockets inside the brochures- just big enough to tuck in a business card. We couldn't figure out a quick and easy way to install the pockets. We ended up printing the pockets separately, and then, BY HAND, folding each one's little edges, using UHU stick glue on them, and carefully placing them in the corners of the brochures. There were 1000 of them and it took forever.

Does anyone know of a quicker, easier, and less expensive way to do this?
