Production notes for commencement programs
Commencement programs need to feel formal, readable, and reliable at event scale. This Barnard booklet uses saddle stitching, uncoated paper, deep navy ink, and a sturdy minimalist cover so guests can follow the ceremony while keeping the piece as an archival memento.
For similar college, school, and ceremony programs, we confirm final page count, name-list deadlines, seating or procession details, cover stock, proof ownership, packing sequence, and delivery timing. Those details are especially important when content changes close to the event and replacement copies are not practical.
