Catalogues

Catalogue and lookbook printing with binding that survives being opened hundreds of times and colour that stays consistent from page 3 to page 63.

When your business has a big product range or a deep service offering, a printed catalogue gives customers the format they actually want for browsing and comparing. Our Auckland commercial printing team produces catalogue printing Auckland businesses use to present their products in organised, attractive formats that encourage people to buy. As part of our full commercial printing range, catalogues benefit from our established production workflows and colour management.

What are Catalogues?

People keep predicting the death of print catalogues. Hasn't happened yet. Catalogues encourage browsing in a way that websites struggle to replicate. Customers flip through, notice things they weren't looking for, and dog-ear pages to come back to later. They work without WiFi. They sit on desks and kitchen benches catching attention for weeks. Catalogue printing needs someone who understands binding, paper selection, and keeping colours consistent across 60 pages. Our in-house design team can create catalogue layouts built for print.

Falcon Signs prints:

  • Product catalogues
  • Wholesale catalogues
  • Fashion lookbooks
  • Parts catalogues
  • Corporate publications
  • Service directories

We combine quality digital printing, the right paper stocks, and binding that holds up so your catalogues represent your products accurately and look the part doing it.

From small business product guides to hefty trade catalogues, Auckland businesses trust us to deliver catalogue printing that shows their products properly and helps customers make decisions.

When You Need Us

When You Need Catalogues

1

Product Catalogues

Show your merchandise range with specs, features, and photography that helps customers pick what they need from your full offering. Beats scrolling through a website for a lot of people.

2

Wholesale Catalogues

Present product lines to retail buyers, distributors, and trade customers with pricing structures and ordering info they need to place orders. It's a sales tool they can keep on their desk.

3

Fashion Lookbooks

Seasonal collections need to look as good on paper as they do in person. Lookbooks showcase your design aesthetic to buyers and customers in a format that's easy to share around.

4

Parts Catalogues

Organise component ranges with technical specs, compatibility info, and ordering codes. Trade and retail customers reach for the catalogue when they need to find the right part quickly.

5

Equipment Catalogues

Machinery and tool specs for procurement managers making equipment decisions. Having it all in one bound document makes comparison easier than flicking between browser tabs.

6

Food Service Catalogues

Ingredient and supply options for restaurant and hospitality buyers. Clear product info, ordering details, and photos that actually represent what they're getting.

7

Gift and Homewares Catalogues

Product ranges for retail customers. People browse these on the couch. That's an audience you can't reach with a search ad.

8

Industrial Supply Catalogues

Extensive product ranges organised by category, application, and spec. Trade buyers use these as reference documents they keep within arm's reach.

9

Service Directories

For businesses with diverse service ranges that need clear organisation. Lay it out properly and customers can find what they need without calling to ask.

10

Annual Reports and Corporate Publications

Company performance and achievements presented to stakeholders. The presentation quality should match the organisation. We make sure it does.

Our Process

Our Catalogues Process

01

Project Consultation

We talk through your catalogue's purpose, audience, page count, and how it'll be distributed. Those details influence paper, binding type, and production approach.

02

File Review and Preparation

Catalogue files need to be set up properly for commercial printing. We verify page imposition, image resolution, colour profiles, and bleed setup across all pages before anything goes to press.

03

Paper Stock Selection

Interior pages and covers often use different stocks. We recommend combinations that balance cost, appearance, and durability for your specific use case. No point over-specifying for a short-run seasonal piece, and no point going cheap on something that needs to last.

04

Binding Method Determination

Page count and intended use determine the binding. Saddle-stitching for thinner catalogues, perfect binding for thicker volumes with a printable spine, wire-O for lay-flat functionality when people need to reference it hands-free.

05

Colour Consistency Planning

Catalogues demand consistent colour from the first page to the last. We make sure product images and brand colours look uniform throughout. Inconsistent colour across a product catalogue is a credibility problem.

06

Proof Review

Multi-page proofs let you verify content accuracy, image quality, and page flow before the full run. Catches errors when they're cheap to fix rather than expensive.

07

Production and Quality Control

We produce catalogues with careful attention to registration, colour accuracy, and binding quality throughout the run. Every copy should look like the proof.

Why Choose Us

Why Choose Falcon Signs for Catalogues?

Pre-Press Expertise

Catalogue files need careful preparation. We catch imposition errors, colour inconsistencies, and file problems before they cause issues on press or show up in the final product.

Consistent Colour Throughout

Product photography needs to reproduce accurately from front to back. Our colour management keeps things consistent so your products look the same on page 5 as they do on page 50.

Binding That Lasts

Catalogue binding has to withstand being opened and closed over and over. We select binding methods and materials that match how your catalogue will actually be used.

Image Handling

Product images get attention to make sure they reproduce well, balancing file size with print quality across what can be a high page count.

Quantity Flexibility

Short runs for niche audiences or higher volumes for broad distribution. We accommodate what you need without minimum order headaches.

Presentation That Sells

A well-printed catalogue positions your products as worth the investment. Cheap printing does the opposite. The catalogue quality sets the expectation for the product quality.

Frequently Asked Questions - Catalogues

Over 64 pages, you're generally looking at perfect binding (adhesive binding with a spine) or wire-O. Perfect binding gives you a spine where you can print the catalogue title, which is useful for shelf display. Really thick catalogues (200+ pages) might benefit from case binding for maximum durability. We'll recommend based on your page count and how the catalogue gets used.

Depends on your product range and how much detail each item needs. One thing to keep in mind: saddle-stitched catalogues need page counts divisible by four. And consider whether one big catalogue serves your customers better than a few focused ones covering different product segments. We can advise on pagination.

Interior pages typically use coated stocks between 115gsm and 170gsm. Good image reproduction without the catalogue weighing a tonne. Gloss coating lifts colour vibrancy. Silk or matte reduces glare, which some people prefer for reading. Covers go heavier (250gsm to 350gsm) for durability and to give the catalogue some substance when you pick it up.

Yes. Digital printing makes it possible to run variable data catalogues with customer-specific pricing, regional product availability, or personalised cover messaging. Useful for businesses serving different customer segments who see different prices or product availability.

Supply high-resolution PDF files with pages in correct sequence, fonts embedded, images in CMYK at 300dpi, and 3mm bleed on all pages. Individual page PDFs work best because we can impose them correctly for printing. If any of that sounds confusing, our pre-press team will walk you through it.

Starts with the photography. The images need to be colour-accurate from capture. We can match specific colours to Pantone references where colour accuracy is critical. And requesting printed proofs before the full run lets you hold the proof next to the actual product and verify it looks right.

We can. Common variations include heavier cover stocks than text pages and occasional inserts on different papers for specific sections. Adds some complexity to production but it can strengthen particular content sections when warranted.
