I’ve done various things…
-
printed at home and used Muji type portfolio books with clear pages to make a custom order/set for each interview/presentation.
-
Done a perfect bound 60 page printed book with a local printer. Had to print 20+ to make the price make sense and still ended up about $30 a book, but the quality was super (digital Indigo print on uncoated heavyweight paper with cover stock cover, full bleed and trim) and was a very professional leave behind that got a lot of comments.
-
Done an 8 panel offset gatefold print teaser as a leave behind. Printed 1000 copies to get the price down and still have a box of them 10 years later.
If going print, I’m a big believer in the quality of the object. Print quality better be really good (I only use HP Indigo for digital print if possible, almost offset ink quality, XEROX Docucolor is garbage compared), paper carefully chosen, binding and packaging on point…
