Having a way to show off your products and promote your brand is always key to marketing, but in the case of catalogs, the media IS the message. Just the fact that you have a catalog, speaks volumes about your business. The look and feel of your catalog has tremendous impact on that message, so you want to make sure you get it right. We can help you determine the best options for making your catalog media support your identity, and offer affordable options. Contact us, and get your catalog’s message on track, and in-budget!
Quantity
Some quantities are fixed, for the best price. Variable quantities are available, but it’s usually cheaper per piece to get the closest fixed quantity to the amount that you need.
Size
Fixed sizes are usually more affordable that odd sizes, but not in all cases. Let us know the size you’d like, and we’ll work to get the best price.
Stock (Paper Type)
Glossy Stock is best for the best color. Paper weight is the thickness of the stock – the higher the weight, the thicker the stock. Cover stock is thicker than book stock.
Dull and Offset Stock is uncoated, and is more absorbent. Great for minimal graphic pieces that are mostly text, and offer better durability.
Turnaround
Turnaround time varies with the stock used for your catalog, and the number of pages it is. A “self-cover” (same stock as body) is quicker than a “Hard Cover” (heavier stock than body). Larger quantities also require more time.
