Printings:
- Stickers to be printed
- OSGEo Flyer(s) to be printed
- Banners to be printed locally:
- Old: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/exhibitionpack/
- Suggest both: OSGeo_popup and OSGeo_popup2
- Ask printer/see on printer-site, whether the PDF of SVG format is needed. Silk finish or silk matt finish for readability (light glare during exhibitions is high)
- Brochure:
- Old: OSGeo_Brochure_2010_PRINT_A4_spread.pdf (this is single A4 back and front)
- Current: Tri-folded handout, minimal branding
- New brochure to be printed locally - pending rebranding
- I suggest minimum paperweight of 100 gram paper, silk or silk matt finished. Ask printer to fold, preferably not do so yourself (bothersome and never a crips bend). Usually I count max 100 brochures per exhibition day on average. Now, 300 will do I expect.
- Table runner
