Question

Does the finish affect how long brochures last?

Answer

Finish plays a small role in longevity, but paper weight matters more. A coating adds a little protection, though a heavier stock is what really keeps a brochure intact over time.

  • Glossy coating: slightly better defense against moisture and light fading
  • Matte: can scuff more easily with repeated handling
  • Paper weight: the bigger factor in durability for long-term pieces
  • For lasting pieces: choose heavier stock first, then pick the finish you prefer
