AS ESTABLISHED CATALOGUE PRINTERS WE KNOW WHAT FINISHES WORK BEST

Catalogues literally have a shelf life. A resource often used, the printed catalogue is kept on the bookshelf. Therefore by having a printed spine, users can find your products and services quickly. This catalogue is very much a reference document. I love the way it’s so understated but then throws at you the odd bright colour and the aperture on the cover. Similarly the chosen paper stock is also an understatement; effectively saying “the content is the important bit here”.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR CATALOGUE DESIGN MORE INTERESTING

Very often, designers will use foiling and gloss spot UV varnishes to add some interest to their work. In this example, a die-cut aperture has been created to reveral the page underneath. Above all, the most important element of a printed catalogue is ‘usability’.
