Color Catalog Printing
Full color printed catalogs come in three standard sizes:
5-1/2 x 8-1/2 color catalog printing
6 x 9 color catalog printing
8-1/2 x 11 color catalog printing
Most color catalog printing is done on text paper for the insides and cover. If you need a more substantial feel for sustained use then we recommend printing your catalog cover on heavier paper. Some of our current customers:

You may do your color catalog printing up to 48 pages on the 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 and 6 x 9 size catalogs. Up to 40 pages on the 8-1/2 x 11 printed catalog size. If your full color catalog printing requires a higher page count, just click on custom quote request. Color catalog printing can be done with a full color cover and black ink only on the insides. Protective coating is available on the outside covers.
Color catalog printing files must be submitted in a single page format all in one file. Please do not submit a separate file for each page. Please note that all pages in your file must be in the proper sequence required: outside front cover is page one, inside front cover is page two, etc.
Cover Options for Color Catalog Printing
Here are a few terms that you need to understand that may make a difference in the out come of your color catalog printing project.
Self Cover vs Plus Cover
Color catalog printing as a self cover means that the cover is printed on the same weight stock as the inside pages. Color catalog printing as a plus cover means that the catalog cover is heavier than the inside pages. Your color catalog printing can be done either way. The printing cost for plus cover color catalog printing is a little higher due to the need to run a separate press sheet signature.
Binding Choices - Color Catalog Printing
There are generally (4) four binding methods used in color catalog printing.
*Color catalog printing as Saddlestitched- A saddlestitched color catalog printing project is folded in half and has a least 2 staples in it. Generally, most lower page count color catalog printing projects will be saddlestitched.
*Color catalog printing as Perfect Bound - When your color catalog printing page count gets higher than 60 pages it’s time to consider perfect binding. A perfect bound color catalog printing project has a square spine and the pages are glued in place.
*Color catalog printing as Plastic Coil Binding- This form of binding is great for any page count color catalog printing. The continuous plastic coil is available in a wide range of colors and sizes. The finished catalog will open up and lay flat and the plastic coil binding is very durable.
*Color catalog printing as Wire-o-binding – This form of binding behaves much the same as plastic coil binding, except that metal wire is used instead of plastic.
The USA Printing Online web site offers only saddlestitching in the color catalog printing options. But, we can do any of the above binding options. If you have any questions about binding any color catalog printing project, please call us to discuss the options.
