Bifold Brochures
Brochures have not lost any of their value with the arrival of the digital age – quite the opposite. This compact print medium is a valuable form of advertisement in sales and training, at trade fairs, but also as a digital download. Product brochures are not suitable as double-sided brochures, as they have a clear thematic focus.

Structure
The standard format of the closed brochure is 210 x 280 mm. All of Dürr’s product brochures follow the same structure, but can vary according to topic and scope. To begin with, the focus is on the customer’s needs, which are met with specific product solutions from Dürr throughout the brochure.

Structure – from customer needs to specific solutions from Dürr.

Basic version structure – an four-page brochure given as an example. The cover (1) and back page (3) form the brochure’s eye-catching, but at the same time the content of the outside of the brochure.
1. Front
2. Pages for content: variable content
3. Back page
Page types

Outer pages

Cover – the cover displays the brochure’s core topics through words and images and encourages the customer to read on. It should be easily readable and accessible. The image can be an illustration or a photograph. Textual content is also possible up to 50% of the page height due to the small number of pages.

Back page – The back page is available in 3 different designs and therefore differs from the standard brochures.
Inside pages

Print space – the space for the headline (A) is fixed. The 12-column grid in print space (B) allows for great flexibility in placing objects.

Column division – the image and textual elements are generally divided into two columns.
