Keep the tourists, visitors just passing through, and your community members informed on new and existing business, events, sports, hunting updates, park locations, schools, area churches, city updates and more with a yearly community guide.

A well put together visitor guide will help your city/town shine and make people want to know more about your community.

We also have the capability to digitize your guide into an ePublication to make it easy for any and all visitors to access your communities information before and after traveling to your area.

Guide Binding Options

Perfect Binding

A perfect bound guide has the pages glued inside the cover resulting in a nice, modern spine with squared edges. Perfect binding is a great option for thicker visitor and community guides with larger page-counts.​

Otter Tail

Perfect Bound County Magazine
The Otter Tail Lakes Country magazine is a showpiece when it comes to a perfect bound county guide. This visitor's guide showcases all that Otter Tail County has to offer any time of year.

Saddle-Stitch

A saddle-stitch is an affordable binding option that you commonly find in thinner community and visitor guides. Saddle-stitching is a budget-friendly choice for projects with smaller page counts.

Madeline Island

Saddle-Stitched Visitor Guide
Not all guides need to look like a standard magazine.  Be different and stand out from the rest like, Madelin Island, with their 4 x 8.5" Visitor Guide. Bigger isn't always better, especially when your target audience is tourism, with people who are always on the move, and Madeline Island's Chamber of Commerce is taking full advantage with this smaller, saddle-stitched guide printed on 80# gloss text weight paper.

Printing Technology

The press equipment at Forum Printing's facilities give us the flexibility to produce eye-catching finishes that will help fit all of our customer's budgets

Sheetfed

Our sheetfed presses provide us the opportunity to print high-quality pieces using up to six colors. They also have the ability to add a UV, Aqueous, Soft Touch, and other coatings to give your piece the look and feel you and your readers expect.

Web

FCP's Heatset Web Press is great for running larger quantity projects at an affordable rate. The press runs rolls of paper instead of sheets, and it has the ability to cut and fold of the back end.  All of which reduce labor costs and saves you money.

Digital

A digital press is like a color printer on steroids and is great for lower quantity projects This means that we can remove the plating and setup processes needed on our larger presses.
