Production time depends on the schedule and the number of pages in your catalogue. We share an estimated completion date after reviewing artwork, finishing choices, and quantity. Standard orders typically complete quickly, while complex specifications may require extra days.
Yes, printed results match your screen closely using calibrated processes and proofing options. Colours can vary slightly based on paper stocks and finishes, especially on inner pages, where lighting and texture influence visual perception compared with backlit displays.
Pricing differs because every project is unique. Quantities, materials, finishes, inks, and binding choices shift costs. A saddle stitch booklet versus a hardcover requires different labour, pagination planning, and shipping considerations, so quotes must reflect real requirements accurately.
Popular choices depend on catalogue size and durability needs. Each type of binding supports different structures and budgets. Exhibitors often choose flexible brochures for fast distribution or catalogues for display tables, based on audience interaction and handling expectations.
The cost shifts with size, paper weight, finishes, quantity, and spine width required for thicker catalogues. Smaller formats use fewer materials and simpler equipment, while larger volumes need longer press time and additional finishing work, affecting overall pricing.
Submit booklet artwork as PDF with embedded fonts and images at 300dpi, allowing accurate trimming and colour control. Include bleeds, safety margins, and clear layer organisation, ensuring production reads everything correctly without risking resizing errors or unexpected cropping.
To choose the right paper for your exhibition catalogue, consider the desired texture, weight, and finish. Opt for thicker, high-quality paper like matte or glossy for a professional look, ensuring it complements your design and artwork.
Focus on clean layouts, high-quality images, and cohesive typography. Use consistent colour schemes, clear headings, and ample white space to guide readers. Incorporate creative elements while maintaining a professional, polished look that aligns with your exhibition's theme.
For exhibition catalogue covers, consider finishes like matte or glossy lamination for a sleek, professional look. Spot UV coating can highlight specific areas, adding texture and contrast. Embossing or foil stamping can provide a premium, tactile experience.
