Details About Our 5 Custom Catalogs (8.5 x 11)

Catalog Dimensions: 8.5” x 11” catalogs (also referred to as “letter” sized catalogs) are an affordable and perfect size to display information in detail, stand out in recipients' mailboxes, and provide your audience with a piece that they will keep for an extended period. While these catalogs measure 8.5” x 11” when closed, when opened, sizes vary depending on the binding orientation. For example, portrait-style catalogs measure 17” x 11” (width x height), landscape-style measures 22” x 8.5”, and calendar-style measures 11” x 17”.

Quantity Details: When you order 5 catalogs, you spend about $13 per catalog. However, it’s good to keep in mind that when you increase the quantity, the price per catalog drops significantly. Offering 5 catalogs falls under short-run catalog printing, which is when your printer can print a small number of catalogs or booklets at an affordable price, quickly using the digital press.

Paper Details: There are several standard and custom paper options to choose from for catalog printing. Some of our standard stocks, which are our default and most popular catalog paper configurations, include 70#, 80#, and 100# (thinner to thickest) text-weight paper in velvet or gloss for the inside pages. For the cover of the catalog, you can choose to go with a self-cover (this is where the cover paper is the same as the inside pages), or you can opt for a thicker, more protective paper like an 80# or 100# cover stock in velvet or gloss.

Finishes: We offer catalog specifications beyond multiple sizes, page counts, and quantities. We offer UV coating for an added glossy layer of protection, soft touch coating for a smooth, velvety feel, and gloss, matte, or satin aqueous coating, which can be applied to the cover or the cover and inside pages of your catalog. We also offer several binding options to choose from.

Who Orders 5 Catalogs?

Ordering just 5 catalogs is an approach many industry types take for a specific purpose or to target a very small, select audience. In most cases, 5 catalogs are ordered by companies looking for an emphasis on the quality of the catalog and using them for confidentiality, exclusive meetings or promotions, or for a highly tailored marketing approach.

Organizations that commonly order such a limited number include luxury brands that are releasing an exclusive product line and want to target their high-end buyers, architects presenting designs or projects to a very small set of potential investors, and jewelry designers showcasing one-of-a-kind pieces to exclusive clients. Additionally, B2B companies will print 5 catalogs to propose custom solutions, art collectors and galleries use them to highlight exclusive collections for potential buyers or curators, and entrepreneurs seeking investments will use them to pitch ideas to a small group. Research and development teams order 5 catalogs to share prototypes with potential patent officials. Hospitality businesses will use them to reach out to niche travel agencies, and artists, craftsmen, and other designers order this quantity to showcase their work during private meetings for select critics, influencers, or buyers.

In addition, any company looking to print 1000 or 500 catalogs will start by printing only 5. This is because they can then disperse the 5 catalogs throughout their internal team to make edits and suggestions or hand them out to a select few loyal customers or business partners to get feedback before they order a large quantity.
