A thoughtful, carefully-designed custom catalog can be a highly persuasive marketing tool. After all, it's hard to resist picking up and flipping through a full-color catalog filled with beautiful and inspirational imagery. Whether you are interested in distributing a miniature booklet to highlight your bestselling products or services, a special-edition holiday catalog, or a corporate magazine, our custom printing services can help you create the perfect catalog for your brand.

When it comes to bulk catalog printing, choosing MadGuns to print and assemble your catalogs can be one of the best investments you’ll make for your company. Our branded catalogs and custom booklets are professionally created and reasonably priced. We can accommodate projects from small 8-page booklets to hefty 40-page catalogs. Your full-color catalog will be beautifully printed using today’s most innovative digital printing equipment, and we have state-of-the-art printing facilitiy to ensure that your order is processed quickly and efficiently.

If you have already designed your catalog, you can directly upload your file and choose between 3 proof options. If everything looks good, just place your order and we’ll print it to straight. You can also have us manually review your file to make sure it has been set up correctly for print. If you want to inspect a physical copy of your catalog before you print a large volume order, we can send you a hard copy proof for an additional fee.

We've worked hard to create a catalog ordering process that is user-friendly and accessible for all of our customers. Our website gives you two ways to create your catalogs. If you have a completed design, simply select your preferences and upload your file.

The best size for your catalog will depend on multiple factors, including the intended use, budget, and amount of content. The standard, most popular size for full-size catalogs is A4 (21x29,7 cm). Other popular sizes include A5 and 22x22cm for smaller booklets or price catalogs. Be sure to order vertical, 25 or 50 qty booklets to best see an example of our quality.

We accept TIF, TIFF, EPS, AI, PSD, BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, and PDF files. PSD, PDF, and AI files should be in CMYK color mode to ensure accurate color output. The resolution of your files should be set to 300 to 350 dpi, unless stated otherwise.

For standard, mass-produced catalogs, our 170g. gloss book paper is one of our most popular stocks. This durable stock has a beautiful sheen that will make your images appear lively and bright. If you prefer a softer, more vintage look for your catalogs, we recommend the 135g. matte text.

If you are printing your own catalog design, please combine all your pages into a single PDF file. The pages should be in numerical order so we can create the spreads accordingly. You can also upload a zip (compressed) folder containing all your PDF files. The files should be named according to their corresponding pages (e.g. Page 1 Front Cover, Page 2, Page 12 Back Cover, etc.)

Our maximum upload file is 75 megabytes. If your catalog file is larger, you can mail us a CD or flash drive containing your files. (Mailing instructions and address are displayed as part of the ordering process if you indicate you prefer to mail in your files.) Files should be in TIF, TIFF, EPS, AI, PSD, BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, or PDF format. Files should be in CMYK mode to ensure accurate color output with a minimum resolution of 350 dpi.

Yes, please make sure your catalog files are prepared with a 3mm bleed. For your convenience, we offer downloadable catalog templates that are clearly marked with the safe zone, trim line, and bleed line. All crucial elements (copy, photos, graphics, logos, etc.) should be within the safe zone of the template, so they are not cut off. The trim line shows where the pages will be cut, and the bleed refers to the part that will be trimmed off. If you are incorporating background images, please make sure they extend all the way to the bleed line, so that the backgrounds extend to the edge of the pages.

Our production time for catalogs varies depending on the number of pages and type of binding. For Vertical 25 and 50 qty booklets, since they are printed digitally, it will take 2-4 business days, the fastest option we offer! For the most accurate production time, please select your size, paper type, desired number of pages and preferred binding method and we'll display the production time for your order. Plan ahead for booklet orders so you have plenty of time to receive your beautifully crafted final product.

Production time begins a day after you have approved your proof and your payment is processed. If your order is approved and payment is processed by 10AM then the production time begins that day. Depending on the shipping method you choose, please allow at least 2 to 4 business days for your print catalogs to arrive to their destination.
