What we love about this tabbed saddle stitch brochure example
This Start Here brochure for the Fashion Institute of Technology is a smart, user-friendly piece designed to guide prospective students through key academic and campus information. With its vibrant color palette and tabbed format, it’s structured for easy navigation – ideal for admissions, orientation, or outreach events.
The saddle stitch binding keeps the piece compact and economical, while the die-cut tabs offer instant access to sections like “Majors,” “Live & Explore,” and “FIT & NYC.” Each tab is color-coded and reinforced by heavy cover stock, enhancing both durability and visual appeal. The interior uses uncoated paper that supports high-contrast text and consistent color output across sections.
At Thomas Group Printing, we help schools and organizations bring clarity to complex content through custom print solutions. This brochure is a perfect example of how thoughtful design and structure can lead to a more effective reader experience.
Production notes for tabbed admissions booklets
Tabbed booklets need sturdy section dividers and precise die cutting so readers can navigate quickly without tearing the tabs. For this FIT Start Here piece, the color-coded tabs, saddle stitch, cover weight, and section order all work together to turn dense admissions information into a usable guide.
For similar school, orientation, and onboarding booklets, we review tab shape, page count, binding order, paper durability, proofing, and campus delivery timing. Those checks are especially important when the piece will be handled repeatedly by students, families, counselors, or event staff.
