Paper Options
While most catalogs contain both images and text, the trend in contemporary design is toward more photography and less text. In most cases, you'll need to pick paper that gives sharp photo reproduction and clear text. We recommend gloss or matte text paper for vibrant, faithful color, perfect contrast, and fine detail. If you want your catalog to reflect eco-friendliness and a natural aesthetic, you can opt for uncoated paper.

Custom Sizes
The size of your catalog is entirely up to you, though it often depends on factors such as graphical and photographic content, text layout, orientation, and paper selection. At QinPrinting, we're happy to produce custom catalogs in any size or format you need. That said, most of our clients choose standard sizes—and for good reason. Beyond cost considerations, factors like consumer expectations, storage convenience, and distribution efficiency all come into play.
The most popular catalog size is 8.5" x 11" (210 mm x 297 mm), but many clients also print seasonal or promotional catalogs in smaller, more portable sizes, such as 5.5" x 8.5" (148 mm x 210 mm). For a more luxurious presentation, the 11" x 11" format is an excellent choice.
Catalog Bindings
While catalogs may come in a variety of shapes and sizes, the choice of binding is very important for reasons of both appearance and durability. Let's look at the most common, professional-looking catalog binding options. You can open several of the following bindings flat.
We use this binding style for many catalogs. We collate the interior pages into a block, glued together, and then glued into a wrap-around cover made of heavier art paper or lightweight card stock. For catalogs with a page count ranging from 48 to 200 pages, this is a great option.
We use this binding style for most catalogs we print. We collate the interior pages into sets called “signatures”, which are then sewn together and fixed into a wrap-around cover made of heavier art paper or lightweight card stock. For catalogs with a higher page count, this is one of the best options.
To saddle stitch your catalog, we fold the printed interior sheets and stack them inside the cover sheet before stapling them together down the curved edge. Saddle stitch is only possible with a page count divisible by four, up to a maximum of 64 pages. But to make sure the catalog is neat and lies flat, we recommend a limit of 48 pages or fewer for this style of binding.
This binding is another possibility for catalogs, especially useful to sales representatives for its portability, practicality and flexibility. We punch or drill holes into the pages down one side and then bind them with a double metallic coil which runs through the holes. We crimp the coil at both ends so the pages don't come loose. You can turn the pages of a wire-o bound book through 360° and also lay the open catalog completely flat. We can laminate the pages to make them extra-resistant to UV light, fingerprints, and spillages.
Another great choice for reps is a loop bound catalog. It's similar to a saddle stitch solution but includes two or three loops exterior to the spine so it can be hung up or easily inserted into a ring binder.
In this binding, we organize the interior pages into signatures which are then printed, cut, and sewn, before we glue them into a hard casing covered by a printed sheet which forms the cover. This binding is the most durable and luxury-looking, but we make only a few hardcover catalogs for our most exclusive clients.
If you wish, we can drill holes through the bound catalog—usually two, three, or five—to facilitate hanging it in a binder. Whichever binding style you choose for your catalog, we like to make it easy for you to design with one of our ready-made design templates if you wish. And ask us for paper samples. We'll be happy to drop them to you in the mail. The samples are free, so you only need to pay the mailing charges.

QinPrinting Rated Excellent for Catalog Printing
From start to finish, Jane was incredibly informative and helpful.
Also great communication.
My books arrived, and are beautiful!
Jane was prompt and had GREAT attention to detail were exceptional. Most of my emails were answered within 24 hours, and Jane went above and beyond by sending pictures, samples, and clear explanations to help me understand all the technical aspects of book printing. She even reviewed my proofs thoroughly and pointed out a few important adjustments I needed to make to my PDF files.
Shipping was faster than expected, and when I compared the final copies from Qin Printing with those from IngramSpark, Qin's quality was far superior. The materials looked more polished; paper is higher quality, and the print was crisper. Each book was carefully wrapped.
I ended up saving 75% of my printing budget, and communicating in English was no issue at all. It felt like Jane cared about the project as much as I did. I can't recommend her and Qin Printing enough. Thank you so much for helping bring my book to life!
The books came out beautiful, the print quality is absolutely flawless, the paper is fantastically solid and the laminated soft touch cover is straight up luxury. The book looks and feels 110% professional and it's a glorious to hold.
It even arrived about a month earlier than was forecast so i could deliver them in time for Christmas, even my European/Australian orders!
