Catalogue preparation and printing guide
Fix the use, final size and quantity before comparing materials or prices. A physical sample reveals folding, colour and legibility issues that a screen cannot show.
Specify first
Send open and closed sizes, material, page or ply count, print method and finishing. Quotes based on different specifications are not directly comparable.
Test the real product
Review a sample at final size and on the intended material. Check colour, fold direction, legibility, barcodes and strength against real use.
Control the artwork
Set suitable bleed and safe margins, verify fonts, images and page order, and approve one clearly numbered final version before production.
