The Infoflip® Process

Content Creation

Choose the document that you would like to convert into an Infoflip. This could be an Employee Handbook, Safety Manual, Emergency Response Plan or a Field Training Guide.

Confirm/determine who the end user is going to be and how the end user will want to access and act on the content included in the Infoflip. Decide which information is important and how much you want to put into the Infoflip. 

Use our proprietary calculator to calculate your page count.

Thoroughly audit/edit your content, then use one of our Microsoft Word templates to test your content before proceeding to design and layout.

Word templates

Once you’re happy with your content, we proceed to Artwork.

Our designers work closely with you to create the formatted, finished artwork that will effectively reach your users. A first draft usually requires 4 – 5 business days, and subsequent revisions and additional drafts require 24 –48 hours.*

When your final print-ready artwork is complete, the files are sent to Germany where infoflip are produced.

* If you wish to use your own professional graphic artist, we’re happy to share our proprietary Adobe InDesign templates and guide your designer through the process.
