Catalog Design Suggestions

As you begin preparing for the catalog printing color process, there are many tools available to guide you through. If you decide to design a custom color catalog on your own, take advantage of our free templates. These templates will save you time and money by providing the trim and bleed lines necessary for a seamless full color printing. If you need assistance in designing your catalog, we offer a team of award-winning designers, who have years of experience, and are willing to help.

When designing your catalog, it is important to choose a story line that is relevant and speaks to your customer base. To complement your theme, choose a color pallet that best represents your company and your industry. It is important that your color and theme be consistent throughout the entire process. The envelope you design should reinforce your catalogs design. Don’t be afraid to use color on your envelope. Remember that the envelope is the first thing the customer sees before viewing your catalog and you want to entice the receiver into opening. Now that the envelope is opened, you have the unveiling of the cover. It is important that your cover grabs attention. Do this by using vibrant colors, an incredible graphic, or feature new or sale items. Feature a welcome statement, company or industry information on the inside front cover.

Now that we have the theme, color scheme, envelope and cover designs complete, let’s think about the catalog layout. It is important that the layout of your catalog remain consistent and informative throughout. The customer wants to know what you have to offer, and how you and your product line will benefit them. Do this by using quality photography, design and a quality printer. Do not over stimulate the viewer by placing too many items on one page. While new and sale icons are recommended, don’t over use them on any one page, as the brain will begin to dismiss them, as they are now a standard page feature. Products can be placed in single or multiple sections throughout your catalog. Show complimentary items to a single product in order to help influence additional sales.
