The One-Stop Cleveland Print Shop for Your Business: Menus, Postcards, and Sell Sheets

Foote Printing has partnered with Virteom to engage our customers and users about the services and offerings of our Cleveland Print Shop. This video is all about printed marketing materials we offer to our customers including our menus, sell sheets, and postcards. Watch or read the transcription below!

Quality Menus on Synthetic Paper for Your Cleveland Restaurant

We do a lot of menu printing for a variety of people. In this day and age, the hot thing to print directly on synthetic paper, instead of the traditional “print it and laminate it” route. Foote Printing has adopted this synthetic paper for menus, that’s basically like a plastic type of paper. That way, you can save a little bit of money without having to get it laminated and still have a waterproof menu.

When you're at a restaurant, there's a lot of different beer or food that could get spilled on it and you can just wipe these down easy, which makes them very economical.

On top of that, it looks more professional to your customers. If you want to know more about printing menus with Foote Printing, visit our Contact Us page and we’ll be able to help you out!

Sell Sheets

Showcase the Benefits of Your Products While Differentiating Your Company

Showcase the Benefits of Your Products While Differentiating Your CompanySell sheets are a great thing to use at trade shows. Companies will often utilize sell sheets to showcase their offerings, giving an informational overview of the product’s benefits and qualities. They may also tell you a little bit more about a company event that's coming up or new products in development.

If you want to spice up your brand or maybe look a little bit more professional than you do now, compact that story into one piece of paper. Printed on a nice, high-gloss piece of paper, sell sheets are a perfect tool to differentiate your company in the marketplace.

Posted By Foote
April 24, 2026 Category: General

Your brochure has only a few seconds to earn a glance in the mailbox, a click to your website, or a call to your team. Make those seconds work. At Foote Printing, we help clients turn brochure printing into real responses. I’m Michael Duhr, and our team guides you from fold choice and layout to smart mailing that protects your budget. Below are the practical insights we share every day to help your brochure convert. Start With Purpose and a Clear Story Before you pick a fold, decide how the brochure will be used. First touch piece that introduces your brand Leave behind that reinforces a sales conversation Direct mailer that needs to trigger an action fast Then shape the content: Lead with what you do and how to reach you Use a single, clear call to action Align copy and visuals to a simple story arc Pro tip for any format: treat the front panel as a strong headline and offer. Your logo matters, but the benefit should get the first glance. Win attention, then reveal who it is from. Choose the Right Brochure Fold The format should serve the message and the mailing method. Here is how we think about the most effective options. Trifold Brochure Why we love it: Three inside panels make a natural story, part 1, part 2, part 3. If you cannot explain your business in three steps, it may be hard for readers to follow. Mailing edge: Standard 8.5 by 11 folded to fit a number 10 envelope, often the lowest letter postage rate. Content tip: Use the cover as a headl

Book Printing Costs, Binding Options, and Timelines | Foote Printing

Picture this. You crack open a box and hold your finished book for the first time. The cover shines, the pages feel right, and your story is finally real. That moment is why we do what we do at Foote Printing. Your Big Idea, Made Print Ready Authors and creators often ask the same questions when they are ready to print a memoir, a manual, or a collection. How much will my book cost to print? Which binding should I choose? How long will it take? As a shop that produces books every day, we can give you clear answers that save time and money while protecting quality. Below are the essentials we share in every consultation, straight from Michael Duhr and our team. What Drives Book Printing Cost Several factors influence your budget. Share these details with us early to get a fast, accurate estimate. Quantity. Per-unit cost drops as your run increases. Page count. More pages mean more paper and a different binding choice. Binding type. Saddle stitch is the least expensive. Hardcover is the most expensive. Color vs. black and white. Full color throughout costs more than black and white or spot color. Paper and cover stocks. Heavier or premium papers add cost and elevate feel. Special finishes. Dust jackets, foil, and other embellishments increase unit price and lead time. For perspective, hardcover is typically the priciest route. On many short to mid-sized runs, it can be challenging to land under eight to ten dollars per unit, depending on specs.

Why Your Printed Logo Looks Blurry and How We Fix It Fast

Nothing kills the excitement of fresh business cards or a new folder like a fuzzy logo. You hold it up, the colors pop, but the edges look soft. That cheap, blurry look is not your brand. It is a file problem, and we solve it every day at Foote Printing. The Real Culprit: A Rasterized Logo If your logo prints blurry, odds are you sent a raster file like a PNG or JPEG. Raster images are made of tiny squares. On a backlit screen those pixels can look fine. In digital print or offset print, those squares show up as jagged edges, especially on curves and diagonal lines. Even a small logo on an envelope can look off if it is raster and not high enough resolution. A vector logo is different. It is built from points, lines, and curves defined by math, not pixels. That means infinite scalability and crisp edges at any size. Raster vs. Vector, Explained Raster: PNG, JPEG, TIFF, PSD. Pixel based, can blur when scaled, better for photos. Vector: AI, EPS, SVG, and many PDFs. Math based, scales cleanly, perfect for logos and icons. Yes, you can crank up DPI on a raster file, but unless the image is extremely high resolution at the exact print size, edges will still soften. Vector avoids that altogether. Quick Ways To Check Your Logo Zoom test: Zoom in close on a curve. If you see tiny squares, it is raster. If the line stays perfectly smooth, it is vector. File type check: Look for. AI or. EPS. Many PDFs are vector too. PNG and JPEG are almost always raster. Photoshop files a
