Catalogs

Catalogs are an excellent strategy for maximizing revenue. That’s because they offer a convenient way to organize pertinent information related to all of your best products and services. Many companies also choose to publish catalogs when they want to promote an upcoming sale or special deal. Catalogs further are the perfect way to highlight the best of your company’s offerings.

At Solo Printing, we focus on producing catalogs with consistent quality, while we let the customer tell us exactly what their requirements are.

For instance, our customers can choose from a wide variety of sizes. Our tall, slim catalogs measure five and a half inches by eight and a half inches and are ideal for wares like jewelry and watches because they can display a few choice products with brief descriptions.

Square or rectangular catalogs usually measure either six inches by six inches or six by nine inches. This is the size you choose when you need the catalog to describe low-volume services or products that don’t necessarily have a ton of features.

Most of Solo Printing’s clients choose either eight and a half by eleven inch catalogs or nine by 12 catalogs. Many companies that sell apparel choose these sizes.

You can even choose a large, square, 12 by 12 inch catalog. This is a great size when your business has a lot of services and products to display. The size of these pages allows for much more in-depth description and variety. Supermarkets and department stores sometimes choose this size.

We offer a wide variety of sizes

When you work with Solo Printing, you’re not locked into one of these standard sizes. If you have something else in mind, just let us know. We don’t believe in putting limitations on our customers.

That’s also true when it comes to choosing binding options. For smaller catalogs, the most common binding is the saddle stitch. To create these, technicians print on both sides of single sheets of paper. The sheets are then collated according to page number, folded in half and stapled with thin wire staples.

Larger catalogs benefit from perfect or book binding. This binding style includes a printable spine, which can be a convenience for your audience. For this type of binding, both sides of single sheets are printed on and then collated by page number. After being gathered into a book block, the edge of the spine is ground off. A thicker cardstock is wrapped around the book block and then attached with a strong and flexible glue.

Saddle stitching and book binding are the most common types of binding used on catalogs. However, your options don’t end there. If you believe it would be more convenient to have your catalogs spiral bound with plastic or bound with metallic wire-o binding, Solo Printing is ready to accommodate you.

Before you finalize your catalog order, you’ll want to consider what kind of paper you want to use. It’s fairly common to see catalogs printed on 80# or 100# paper, but a range of other options also is available. In addition to choosing the weight of the paper, you’ll need to choose whether you prefer a gloss or a matte finish.

Gloss finishes give your catalog a polished and professional look. In fact, this is the way to go when your catalog features plenty of colors. However, if your catalog relies more heavily on black and white text and images, then a matte finish may be more appropriate.

At Solo Printing, we’re here to help you produce a catalog from start to finish. We can work with the catalog design that you’ve already created, or you have the option of working with one of our designers to come up with something fresh and unique.

With the expertise of Solo Printing, your catalog will be a fantastic ambassador for your brand.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US

TESTIMONIALS

"Good afternoon, Lorenzo, Robert, and Armando, I just received and reviewed Miami Magazine. It is gorgeous and we are thrilled with the results. Thank you for your amazing work, dedicated service, and phenomenal customer service. Just like I can count on the Sun to rise every morning, I know I can count on Solo to provide us with an amazing magazine while meeting our deadline. Your team always goes above and beyond to ensure the University looks great and we appreciate it very much."

“..the new issue is terrific. It was great fun opening the carton and smelling the fresh ink. More important, it looks great. The printing is top-notch, and it just feels good in my hands.”

“The Solo Team did an excellent job getting us started [with SP Direct]. It’s new to all of us and we heavily rely on Solo...Just looking at some of the results – it's phenomenal. And, the dashboard is amazing and so helpful. I’m able to visibly show the efforts and results of currently running campaigns to my boss and my internal team as well as our agency... I was going back in [to the dashboard] and tracking the mailing because that was something I’ve never had access to before. When I see the peak in the mail deliveries, I see a peak in my numbers.”

“Thank you so much for the beautiful calendars. I read every single quote, ran my hand over the varnishes, and snapped the edges to gauge the nice stock… As always, working with your team has been a true pleasure. I am so grateful for your knowledge, professionalism, and partnership…”

“We gathered 'round to inspect the precision of the print and finish (LOVE the emboss) and then had to crack down and get busy boxing them up and shipping them out. Without a doubt, Solo is the right partner for this kind of project, where our quality HAS to be reflected in the catalogs we distribute to our customers. Above all, we thank you and Deena for your personal attention to detail and follow-up throughout. We always knew that our job was a priority. Even when severe storms shut down half the country, you kept us moving. We couldn't be more pleased with the end result, and for your personal service throughout.”

“Your team did such a wonderful job for us on our “Program Highlights.” I know they went above and beyond to deliver by our due date and within our budget. Please extend to them our heartfelt thanks – especially since it was over the holidays when they probably would have liked more time with their families. And thank you for shepherding the project along and keeping Erica and me so closely informed of progress during those last critical days.”

“Hi, Rose. I know this was a big job with lots of moving parts – 250,000 copies addressed and mailed to dozens of zip codes PLUS boxed copies shipped to more than 50 addresses. Thank you so much for all that you did to make it a smooth process for us. I know it wasn’t a walk in the park! You’re a peach!”

“I would like to congratulate you on a great job. Our President Luis Sr. is very happy with the Anniversary Card. Thank you and have a blessed day,”

“The Year in Review looks phenomenal—great job as always! Thank you for making us look good and for working within our tight deadlines. And that’s why we wouldn’t trust this job to anyone else but Solo.”

“While operating in a segment and marketplace that are fraught with overcapacity and intense competition, Solo Printing has managed to make its slide of South Florida even hotter with a staple for business success.”

“Just wanted to take a moment to let you know all assets were received. Many thanks for all your support. They [brochures and flyers] look great - very good quality and service.”

“I find working with Solo to be an incredibly positive experience. They are very collaborative, do state-of-the-art printing and deliver on deadline. I publish in the Caribbean so it’s imperative that my publications get printed and on the boats in time each month to be in market on schedule and they always hit the mark. I highly recommend Michele and the whole Solo Printing team in Miami!”

"I LOVE working with Solo for so many reasons! Their quality is impeccable! They always meet our scheduling needs and any special requests I may have. They are the printer I can count on when in a crunch! And best of all, their customer service is top notch! They are hands down one of the top printers I work with. The team goes above and beyond when my teams or I have questions. They will take the time to teach, give recommendations on projects, and offer options. They are timely in quote turnaround time, production timing, and responding to any email requests I may have. When it comes to their products, their quality is consistently exceptional. It’s very clear they take pride in their work and value their partnerships. I could go on and on about Solo. So yes, I highly recommend them!"
