Catalogues
Professional catalogue and lookbook printing with quality binding and colour consistency throughout.
When your business needs to showcase an extensive product range or service offering, professionally printed catalogues provide the comprehensive format your customers require. At Falcon Signs, we produce catalogue printing Auckland businesses rely on to present their offerings in organised, attractive formats that encourage purchasing decisions.
What are Catalogues?
Despite digital alternatives, physical catalogues continue to serve important business functions. They provide browsing experiences that encourage discovery, work without internet connectivity, and create tangible references customers keep accessible for future orders. Product catalogue printing demands expertise in binding, paper selection, and colour consistency across multi-page documents.
Falcon Signs specialises in:
- Product catalogues
- Wholesale catalogues
- Fashion lookbooks
- Parts catalogues
- Corporate publications
- Service directories
Our combination of quality digital printing, appropriate paper stocks, and professional binding ensures your catalogues represent your products accurately and professionally.
From small business product guides to comprehensive trade catalogues, Auckland businesses trust us to deliver catalogue printing that showcases their offerings effectively and supports customer purchasing decisions.

Our Process
Our Catalogues Process
Project Consultation
We discuss your catalogue's purpose, audience, page count, and distribution method. These factors influence paper selection, binding type, and production approach for optimal results.
File Review and Preparation
Catalogue files must be properly prepared for commercial printing. We verify page imposition, image resolution, colour profiles, and bleed setup across all pages before production begins.
Paper Stock Selection
Catalogue interior pages and covers may use different stocks. We recommend combinations that balance cost, appearance, and durability based on your specific use case and budget.
Binding Method Determination
Page count and intended use determine appropriate binding. Options include saddle-stitching for thinner catalogues, perfect binding for substantial volumes, and wire-O binding for lay-flat functionality.
Colour Consistency Planning
Catalogues demand consistent colour reproduction across all pages. We ensure images and brand colours appear uniform throughout the document for professional presentation.
Proof Review
Multi-page proofs allow you to verify content accuracy, image quality, and page flow before production begins, protecting your investment in the final catalogue run.
Production and Quality Control
Using commercial printing equipment, we produce catalogues with careful attention to registration, colour accuracy, and binding quality throughout the entire run.

Frequently Asked Questions - Catalogues
Catalogues exceeding 64 pages typically require perfect binding (adhesive binding with a spine) or wire-O binding. Perfect binding creates a professional spine where your catalogue title can be printed, making it suitable for shelf display. Very thick catalogues (200+ pages) may benefit from case binding for maximum durability.
Page count depends on your product range and how much detail each item requires. Catalogues must have page counts divisible by four for saddle-stitching. Consider whether comprehensive coverage in one catalogue serves customers better than focused catalogues covering product segments. We advise on pagination strategies.
Interior pages typically use coated stocks between 115gsm and 170gsm, providing good image reproduction while managing paper weight and cost. Gloss coating enhances colour vibrancy while silk or matte coatings reduce glare. Covers generally use heavier stocks (250gsm to 350gsm) for durability and impact.
Yes, digital printing enables variable data catalogues with customer-specific pricing, regional product availability, or personalised cover messaging. This is valuable for businesses serving different customer segments with tailored product offerings or pricing structures.
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 as we can impose them correctly for printing. Our pre-press team advises on file preparation.
Product photography must be colour-accurate from capture. We can match specific colours to Pantone references where critical colour accuracy matters. Requesting printed proofs before full production allows verification of colour representation against physical products.
Yes, catalogues can incorporate different papers for specific sections. Common variations include heavier cover stocks than text pages, and occasional special inserts on different papers. This adds complexity but can enhance particular content sections when warranted.
