Ah the humble local newsletter, keeping communities connected since the dawn of – well – paper. Although in the age of social media and digital everything, you might think the local newsletter is old news, but think again! These trusty prints are still making their rounds, keeping communities connected, informed, and entertained.
At Shropshire Printing, we’ve had the pleasure of working with numerous local constituencies, bringing their stories to life through beautifully crafted customised newsletters.
So, whether you’re a parish council, a local club, or the village’s own Lady Whistledown, we’ve got the printing power to turn your newsletter into a must-read piece.
A Tale of Two Newsletters: Branded Brochures & Booklets VS Personalised Folded Leaflets
When it comes to local newsletters, one size definitely does not fit all. That’s why at Shropshire Printing we offer a range of options to suit your community’s needs, from glossy branded booklets to simple custom-print folded leaflets, we’ve got every page covered…
Gone are the days of black-and-white bulletins typed up on an old typewriter. Today’s village newsletters are bursting with vibrancy, reflecting the vibrant communities they represent. No more monochrome musings – now your words can pop off the page with full-colour, high-quality printing that’s as professional as it is eye-catching.
Got a village full of stories to tell? We’ve got just the thing: personalised brochures and booklets!
Suitable for newsletters with 8 pages or more, whether you’re sharing local news, event highlights, or even Mrs. Brown’s top-secret scone recipe, our three main binding types for the booklets mean you can choose the one that best suits your needs:
- Saddle Stitched (stapled): ideal for newsletters, event programmes, and manuals.
- Perfect Bound (PUR): best for annual reports, catalogues, and, dare we say, village chronicles?
- Wiro Bound: perfect for recipe books or the latest DIY craft ideas.
We offer standard sizes like A4, A5, and A6 Long, but if you’re feeling adventurous, why not go square – after all didn’t you hear – it’s hip? Our square booklets (210x210mm or 148x148mm) are sure to make your newsletter stand out. Our booklet style has a variety of paper stocks and finishing options that include Spot UV, matte and gloss lamination, so your newsletter will be informative but also a visual delight.
On the other hand, customised folded leaflets are the no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point option, that are more suitable for smaller page counts.
These are perfect for villages that prefer to keep things concise. Simple yet elegant, the folded leaflet gets the job done with style. They’re lightweight, easy to distribute, and still pack a punch with our range of paper finishes: uncoated, gloss and silk.
Looking for protection for your design? You can choose matte laminate or gloss laminate which help enhance your design whilst preserving it.
Folded leaflets also have Spot UV and foiling options as extra finishes. Plus, with our bespoke shape choice you can make it the perfect fit for you in every way.
