Also consider how you want to print your catalog. You can print it on a desktop printer, at a copy shop, or at a commercial printing service. In addition to your budget, the complexity of the publication—including whether you print it as a black and white or a color publication—will help determine the best method for printing your publication.
Before you print your catalog, consider how you will bind your pages. The number of pages, how the reader will use it, and whether you mail it will help you determine the type of binding. For example, if you have only a few pages and your catalog is meant to be held, you might consider folding the pages and stapling the spine. Larger catalogs that are meant to be folded flat work best with a plastic binding with punched holes, while larger publications meant to be held like a book are best served by gluing the pages, or "perfect binding."
