What is Program Printing?

Programs are a type of marketing material that is used for events or occasions. They are suitable for weddings, concerts, funerals, sporting events, stage performances, playbills, and many more. 

Playbills go back to the dawn of theatre and were especially used in Great Britain, or the United Kingdom. Programs were drastically reduced in size during World War 2 when the printing process was largely impacted due to the paper shortages that took place. As time went on, playbills went back to standard volumes.

How Much Does Event Printing Cost?

In most cases, event program printing costs can vary depending on numerous things. The top four things to consider when worrying about the cost of printing event programs include: 

  • Format and Size

  • Quantity

  • Colours 

  • Type of Paper

How Are Event Programs Printed?

Event programs are like standard print products, except for the fact that they’re specifically designed. Booklets are often used as Sports Guides, Playbills, and more. Bifolds, on the other hand, can be used for smaller events such as funerals, recitals, concerts, weddings, and more. Rack cards are another kind of program option that can be used as guides for small or short events like stage guides.

What Are Booklets and What Are Their Binding Methods?

Booklets are known to be a cover paper stock with “guts” or paper stock on the inside. The cover or external papers can be heavier or even the same weight as the pages inside. “Self covers” is the term that is used to describe booklets that use the same paper on the inside and outside. 

Saddle Stitch Printing is a type of booklet that is made by folding pieces of paper and stapling them to create pages. Each sheet that is used yields 4 page faces, which is why these booklets are typically in increments of 4 pages.

Plastic spirals are used for Spiral Bound Booklets to keep all the pages in place. The spirals are typically available in different colours, and the binding method is one of the most affordable ones to keep large amounts of pages held together.
