Frequently Asked Questions
What binding options are available for standard catalogues at PrintArabia?
Our standard catalogues typically offer saddle-stitch binding (stapled spine) for lower page counts (e.g., up to 64 pages) and perfect binding (glued spine, like a paperback book) for higher page counts, providing a flat, printable spine. Check the product options for availability based on your page count.
How does saddle-stitch differ from perfect binding for catalogues?
Saddle-stitching uses staples and is best for thinner catalogues; pages lay relatively flat when opened. Perfect binding uses glue for a squared-off spine, offering a more book-like appearance suitable for thicker catalogues, but they don't lay completely flat naturally.
What are the recommended page counts for each binding type?
Saddle-stitching works well for catalogues from 8 up to around 64 pages (must be in multiples of 4). Perfect binding is generally suitable for catalogues with higher page counts, often starting from around 40-50 pages up to 200+ pages, depending on paper thickness.
What sizes can I print my standard catalogue in?
We offer common finished sizes such as A4 (210mm x 297mm) and A5 (148mm x 210mm),along with other potential standard or custom sizes. Please review the size options available on the catalogue printing page.
Can I have a thicker cover stock for my catalogue?
Yes, it's highly recommended! You can choose a heavier paper weight (GSM) and potentially add finishes like lamination (gloss/matte) to the cover for increased durability and a more professional, premium feel compared to the inner pages.
What paper types and weights (GSM) work best for catalogue printing?
Inner pages often use 100gsm to 170gsm paper with gloss or matte finishes to balance quality and thickness. Covers typically use 250gsm to 350gsm stock. Gloss paper enhances photos, while matte offers a sophisticated, non-reflective look.
What type of binding is used for PrintArabia's Standard Catalogues?
Our Standard Catalogues feature Perfect Binding. This method uses adhesive glue to bind the pages together with the cover, creating a flat, printable spine similar to a paperback book, ideal for thicker catalogues.

Know Before Order
While preparing your data, please take note of the following
CMYK Data
![]()
- Data saved in CMYK colours is the correct format, as printing on paper is done by combining four colour inks: CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black).
PANTONE Data
![]()
- We don’t print Pantone or Spot colours for Large Formate printing. If your data has Pantone or Spot colours, you must convert it to CMYK colours.
- If above is disregarded, than Spot/ Pantone colours will be converted to CMYK colours. In such case, expect a colour shift in printing
RGB Data
![]()
- Data in RGB colours (primarly used for Monitors, TV Screens and Phones) are not correct colours at all for printing on paper.
- Make sure your data is created or converted to CMYK, and not RGB. If not, we will change to CMYK colours. In such case, colours may come out different.
Print Arabia will not be held responsible nor reprint orders due to poorly prepared data.
If in doubt please see our Artworking Guidelines for more information on how to prepare your data.
Where colour accuracy is critical, we strongly recommend investing in a printed sample to avoid disappointment.
