Catalogues printing
A catalogue provides a detailed list of a company’s products and services, their consumer and technical data, colour photographs, diagrams, specifications, drawings, and advertising samples.
Before order and manufacture, it should be borne in mind that such a publication will be used for a long time. We are ready to help you with the selection of the right material and the process for the particular thing you need. Our budget-friendly, our durable books will have bright pictures and clear diagrams and drawings,
Methods of manufacture
For this purpose, offset, digital printing or risography are suitable and often combined to optimise the quality and the price. For example, the pages of the internal block can be printed with a risograph, and the cover – with a digital printer or an offset press.
- Offset is the best alternative for larger runs of colour books. A3, A4, A5, and A5 sizes are recommended.
- Digital printing ensures quality and speed for small and mid-size runs. Plotter printing is also a digital method for the best quality of diagrams, drawings, and maps. A3, A4, A5, and A5 sizes are recommended.
- Risography features low cost and good speed, but is possible only for one colour. It is used for printing the internal blocks of cheap publications.

Guiding the customers through the offers and the prices, cheap paper and one ink catalogues need less post-processing. They are cost-effective, widespread and quick to publish. Branding or advertising editions serve to back up a company’s business standing. In this case, additional time and budget may be needed for the design and manufacturing process to ensure post-printing of the best quality.
If the customer’s own artwork file is provided, we’ll do the printing itself followed by post-processing.
You can make an order from start to finish to have a layout made, the designer paper and the most efficient post-press type offered. Please note that the publication process needs active participation of the customer.You can place your order online, by phone, or at our office in Dubai. Orders for quick printing are accepted, including delivery of the total run.

Binding
Since catalogues are made for a long use, we recommend the following fastening types:
- Stapling is the most common and cheap fixing for catalogues with 60 pages max., 100-200 gsm. Publications with fewer pages may have thicker sheets.
- Metal or plastic spring binding is expensive, but practical and universal, offering lots of opportunities to select the design and the materials for the internal block and the cover. The book volume is not limited.
- Perfect binding suits the soft-covers with 350 pages max. We observe the process carefully so that the pages are fixed firmly in their place.
