Printed products vary a lot. One of the most popular types of brochures is a small-volume product that is used as advertising propaganda. Usually, a brochure is 5 to 6 pages long. Yet there are also 50-page products. The topics of the brochures also vary: social, socio-economic, political, public, ones for cultural events, business, agricultural, and several others.
