The Importance Of Printing Press Kits

By Nelda Powers


Before people could make prints, they bought books that were rare and costly. Printing transformed the way that people communicate with each other. Nowadays, they use printing press kits that contain materials like business cards. These kits are needed to spread the news about a person, band or upcoming event.

Long before the kit, the printing press was a new phenomenon when it was first introduced in Europe. It meant that books were affordable for people in all classes. The Bible was the first and most popular publication. What followed were books on secular topics like math, science and history. This way, it was easy to spread ideas from homes to universities. The bridges were built between the classes. The invention inspired a new generation of thinkers and doers.

A good press kit contains a variety of promotional items from flyers to biographies. A good print store has everything you need at costs that are affordable. Common users include band members, business owners, freelancers and all other people who want to promote their accomplishments.

Use this kit to reach out to the right people. Make sure that it looks good. Create the right design, and include quality items inside. Consider a few tips before you prepare your kit. Use good graphic designs and consistent page layouts.

First, start by creating and promoting a good story. Use graphics and photographs that accompany the words effectively. With the help of an online print shop, look through many different designs. Being elaborate is not always necessary. If you have a small message, you should choose a few good, basic designs.

In your packet, include a wide range of materials like photographs, DVDs, flyers and other items. On the summary pages, include plenty of updated contact information. Have a flyer that announces a local event. Include a FAQ sheet that answers common questions along with a cover sheet that has detailed outlines. If you own a company with upper-level employees, you should write biographies of each one. Create a brief bio that does not exceed more than one page.

A kit full of marketing materials is needed to give people something tangible to hold. The key is to include an item that represents every part of your PR plan. The whole point is to promote a new event or conference. You can include images, biographies and brief announcements. Then, there is the electronic version that could be an email, blog post or mailed DVD. This electronic press kit (EPK) can include biographies, audio files, images, videos and similar features. Since more people use the Internet, they are more likely to use the EPK. It is easier to send and comes with more materials than a traditional press kit.

Make printing press kits is similar to setting up a blog or website. It is done to spread information as far as possible. The point is to impress as many people as you can. From journalists to photographers, most of these people will belong to the press.
