Booklets printing 
| printing of catalogs Warsaw | brochures printing house | booklet printing | brochure printing

Booklets printing is our specialization! We print booklets, catalogs, brochures using both digital technology (for low quantities and short turnaround times) and offset printing (for medium to high quantities) on modern Heidelberg machines, ensuring vibrant colors and precise detail reproduction. We produce stitched booklet, perfect bound (glued) catalogs, and spiral-bound brochures. Stitched brochures are made using a professional booklet line with the option of spine flattening by Plockmatic. For catalog printing, we offer a wide range of coated and uncoated papers, as well as decorative papers, ranging from 90g to 400g. To enhance quality, we can additionally finish the cover with matte, gloss, or soft-touch lamination. Upon request, we provide gold foiling, silver foiling, embossing, and spot UV varnishing. For the most demanding projects, we can apply special printing techniques using neon toners or UV-visible inks. Moreover, we print on eco-friendly Kraft paper and colored papers with white ink.

Our services are available throughout the country and Europe.

Print run and printing technology – catalog printing

Depending on the delivery time and print quantity, we propose two printing technologies for catalog production. In short, digital printing allows for quick turnaround times and is cost-effective for small to medium print runs. Offset printing, on the other hand, is more economical for large print runs but may have slightly longer lead times. Both technologies produce high-quality materials effectively.

Depending on their purpose, we distinguish several types:

1. Product catalogues
2. Advertising catalogues
3. Promotional brochures

These differ in their usage, thus requiring tailored paper type, weight, and finishing.

Paper type, grammage – booklets printing

We typically print on coated paper (matte/glossy coated) or uncoated paper. For the economical version, we use low grammage paper ranging from 60-90g. For catalogues with a large number of photos, we suggest thicker paper starting from 130g to prevent photo bleed-through. If the cover is thicker, such as 170g, 250g, 350g, enhancements like lamination can be applied. We mostly use matte coated paper. Additionally, we offer decorative papers, coloured in bulk, which are used in premium quality publications. Furthermore, we print on white ecological paper in both offset and coated versions, as well as brown paper (kraft). White colour printing is possible on kraft paper.

Types of binding – corporate brochures printing – high quality and durability

The choice of paper type is often influenced by the envisioned appearance of the printed catalogue, but in reality, it’s not the sole determining factor. It’s important to consider the binding as well. Your publication can be bound in stitched, glued, or spiral form depending on the intended usage, paper weight, and number of pages.

• STITCHED BOOKLETS |  STITCHED BROCHURES
  

  Stitched binding for catalogues involves stitching the pages together with metal staples or eyelets (euro staples), allowing them to be placed in a binder. Stitched catalogues are highly durable and lay flat. The number of pages must be divisible by 4. It’s worth noting that this method is suitable for a limited number of pages. Depending on the paper weight used, the maximum number of pages ranges from 60-120. Digitally printed stitched catalogues can be finished with a square folder technique, providing a similar effect to glued catalogues while still allowing for lay-flat capabilities. Stitched binding is also commonly used for brochure printing.

• GLUED BOOKLETS |  PERFECT BOUN BROCHURES

  This type of binding doesn’t lay flat but allows for binding a larger number of pages. PUR binding is very durable and flexible, with no cracking of the spine. The cover design needs to accommodate the spine width, which depends on the number of pages. This method is also used for producing branded notebooks.

Standard formats – advertising catalogue printing

The most commonly used dimensions are:

• A4 (210×297 mm) portrait / landscape orientation
• A5 (148×210 mm) portrait / landscape orientation
• A6 (105×148 mm) portrait orientation
• Square (210×210 mm)

Cover enhancements – cover varnishing, foliation

The choice of enhancement affects the character, quality, and durability of the catalogue. We can enhance in several ways:

• Matte / Glossy foliation – strengthens, protects, and enhances the appearance, preventing cracking on folds.
• Soft touch foliation – also strengthens, protects, and adds a velvet touch effect.
• UV varnish – allows for selective highlighting of graphic elements such as logos or titles.
• Hot Stamping and Foil Stamping without a matrix
