Catalog Printing Steps
The first and most important step in the process is planning. During this phase, your team will determine the purpose and goals of your project.
Will you promote your services or products or create awareness and educate? In addition, you’ll identify your target audience, develop your catalog content, and select a design and layout that compliments your product or services.
Next, we move on to production. During this phase, you’ll select digital printing for small quantities or offset printing for large runs. In addition, you’ll select the paper; select glossy paper for vibrant images and Matt for a more professional look. Also, consider your printing colors; will you use full color, spot color, or black and white? Finally, proofread to identify errors.
The final two steps are printing and distribution. If you’re printing yourself, ensure the design file meets printing requirements, and if you’re opting for assistance, call around for quotes. After printing, bind the catalog using saddle-stitch, perfect binding, or spiral binding. Finally, you’re ready to distribute! Select packaging type and distribution channels, and track your catalog’s effectiveness.
