A5 brochure printing

The advantages of an A5 brochure

An A5 brochure is a booklet witha cover and multiple pages bound together.

Less traditional and half the size of the A4 brochure (210 x 297 mm), the A5 brochure measures 148 x 210 mm. These dimensions allow you to combine an interesting printable surface in a compact format.

Indeed, the size of the A5 brochure allows both:

• to be easily carried by your customers and prospects when they leave your store or after meeting you at a trade show.
• include texts and illustrations that will highlight your company, your products or your events.

The A5 brochure can be used to produce all kinds of modern and original communication media:

• The A5 brochure allows you to create chic and light product catalogs. Your customers will see all the essential information about your brand and your business proposals.
• The A5 brochure can be considered to create a magazine or a company newspaper. Its compact and sophisticated aspect will allow you to transmit essential information to all your collaborators.
• The A5 brochure can be an original and attractive choice for the creation of a presentation brochure of your structure and your professional activity if you are self-employed for example.
• The A5 brochure is also a good idea for your high-end restaurant menu. A good choice of finish will give it elegance and resistance.

Finishes for your A5 brochure

• Determine the orientation of your A5 brochure

Portrait orientation is a classic choice for your A5 brochure. This orientation is ideal if you want to create a restaurant menu for example.

An A5 brochure in landscape orientation is a more original choice. It can be very well suited to the creation of a mini-catalogue of jewelry or a presentation brochure of tourist stays because it sublimates the visuals.

• Stapled binding for your A5 brochure and its alternatives

The stapled binding is the binding method generally preferred in the making of an A5 brochure. Sober and elegant, it allows an immersive experience and offers a great reading comfort. It is available for an A5 brochure with up to 40 pages.

Beyond 40 pages, it is necessary to choose between two alternative binding methods:

The spiral binding: simple and functional, it consists in binding the perforated sheets thanks to a plastic or metallic spiral binding in different colors to bring the small additional touch of elegance to your brochure.

The glued square back binding: professional and elegant. The sheets are glued to the edge of the cover with PUR glue, which makes your A5 brochure extremely resistant and perfectly suited to many different page layouts.

• Perfect the cover of your A5 brochure

At Copymage, we advise you to choose a 170 g/m2 semi-rigid paper for the cover of your A5 brochure.

You can then choose to laminate the cover of your A5 brochure among three possibilities:

• A matte lamination will give your A5 brochure a modern and clean look.
• A glossy lamination is a good choice if your A5 brochure contains many illustrations, which it will emphasize.
• A "soft touch" lamination is more of a tactile choice: it gives your A5 brochure a soft and silky grip.

Finally, some specific elements of the cover of your A5 brochure can be enhanced by adding a selective varnish or a 3D varnish: logo, photograph, graphic element, signature, etc.
