A printed catalogue lets buyers browse your full range at their own pace, mark pages and keep it on the desk for the next order. Wholesalers, distributors, furniture and décor suppliers, fashion brands, hardware and industrial suppliers and promotional product companies all use them. Because catalogues vary so much in page count, paper and binding, we price them as a quote. Use the form on this page.
If your catalogue runs into many pages or you need separate versions for different customer groups, tell us. Turnaround depends on the spec and quantity and is confirmed on your quote. Your quote arrives by email with Accept online and pay buttons, and accepting it creates the invoice. Business customers can reorder from their portal.

Building a catalogue that sells
Group products the way buyers search for them, put a clear contents page at the front and use consistent photo angles and backgrounds. Product codes, sizes and colours should sit in the same place on every page. If prices change often, consider a separate price list insert so the main catalogue lasts longer. Our design services team can lay out a catalogue from your spreadsheet and product photos.
Artwork and proofs
Supply a single PDF in reading order with 3 mm bleed, high-resolution product photos and text kept clear of the spine and trim. We send a digital proof before production; check codes and descriptions carefully, as content is your responsibility once approved. For shorter, stapled publications with an instant price, see booklets and magazines.
Trade shows and sales teams
Catalogues work hand in hand with exhibition stands, pull-up banners and presentation folders for sales reps. Collection from our Rivonia store is free. Delivery is free within 15 km of the store, and the checkout checks your address. Further afield, we courier nationwide through The Courier Guy, Pudo lockers, PostNet, Aramex or Paxi, priced at checkout by parcel weight.
Common questions
Why are catalogues quoted rather than priced instantly?
Catalogues vary widely in page count, paper, binding and quantity. A quote gives an accurate price for your exact job. For shorter stapled publications, our booklets and magazines pages have instant calculators.
Can you design a catalogue from my spreadsheet?
Yes. Send your product spreadsheet, photos and branding. Our design team lays out the pages and sends a digital proof for approval. Design work is priced on our Design Services page.
Can I print different versions for different customers?
Yes. Many suppliers print a trade version and a retail version, or one per region. Tell us how many versions and quantities you need, and we will quote them together.
How long will my catalogues take?
Turnaround depends on the page count, binding and quantity, so it is confirmed on your quote. If you are printing for a trade show or launch, include the date in your request.
How do I pay for a catalogue order?
Accept the emailed quote online to create your invoice, then pay by card or instant EFT. Larger orders follow our deposit rules, which are explained on the How to Order page.
