Are you looking to produce and print your own Church bulletins but need a way to provide your congregation with a tear off section for sermon notes or to allow them to respond? You are not alone. More and more Churches are choosing to use their own color copiers or color laser printers to print customized high quality church bulletins. The power to add your own graphics and present the image that you want is now in your hands. You no longer have to buy those expensive preprinted bulletins that may or may not represent your congregation or your message.

However, if you are looking to have a perforated flap on your bulletins for a tear off response card or for sermon notes, you might have run into a bit of problem. The equipment to perforate your own paper is not really realistic for most Churches to own and operate (unless of course your Church has its own print shop). However, buying pre-perforated paper is a great option for churches who want to print their own bulletins.

The most common size used for this application is 24lb Legal Sized Paper which is perforated at 3" from the bottom of the sheet. This allows you to have a half fold or trifold bulletin with a 3" wide tear off strip. However, some prefer a slightly larger tear off and use 24lb legal sized paper with a 3.5" wide tear off strip. The 24lb paper helps to reduce bleed through and provides a high quality finished product with an easy to tear off flap.

At this point you might be willing to purchase some to give it a try but you are probably wondering whether this paper will run through your copier or laser printer. Not all perforated papers will run through a printer or copier. For this reason you need to look for a type that is guaranteed to be 100% photocopier compatible. This type is run through special rollers to ensure that it is completely flat and then is packaged in moisture resistant reams to eliminate curl. This means that you can easily duplex the material using your copier or laser printer. Some of the other perforated papers available on the market don't run well through photocopiers causing headaches.

Using perforated paper it is possible for you to create and print your own high quality church bulletins with a tear out response sheet that can easily be collected along with the offering. Try it for yourself and see just how easy it can be.
