What is the ideal size for a product catalogue?

There’s no universal size, but A4 (210x297mm) is common for print catalogues in most global markets, while digital catalogues are often designed at 8.5×11 inches or optimized for widescreen viewing on web and tablet.

How many products should be on one catalogue page?

This depends on the product type. Simple, similar items can work well in grids of 4–6 per page, while complex or technical products often need a full page each for adequate detail.

How often should a product catalogue be updated?

Digital catalogues should be reviewed quarterly or whenever pricing, specifications, or the product line changes. Print catalogues are typically refreshed annually or seasonally, depending on the industry.

What software is used for product catalogue design?

Adobe InDesign remains the industry standard for professional catalogue layouts, often paired with Photoshop for image editing and tools like Canva for simpler, template-based catalogues.

Should a catalogue include pricing?

This depends on your business model. B2C and retail catalogues often include pricing for transparency, while B2B and industrial catalogues frequently use “Request a Quote” prompts due to variable pricing based on volume or region.

What's the difference between a catalogue and a brochure?

A brochure typically promotes a single product, service, or campaign, while a catalogue is a comprehensive, structured listing of a brand’s full or partial product range.
