Short Run or Long Run — Same Team, Right Press

Whether you're testing a new catalog with a small print run or mailing a magazine to a full subscriber list, the press we put your job on changes. What doesn't change is who you work with. 

SHORT-RUN oval-1

Digital Printing

Ideal for launch issues, sales samples, limited editions, or catalogs that update often. Digital presses make low quantities affordable and let you print exactly what you need.

  • No costly plates — cost-effective even at low quantities
  • Faster to production since there's less setup
  • Easy to update content between print cycles

 

LONG RUN oval-1

Offset Printing

Built for subscriber magazines, seasonal catalogs, and mass distribution. Offset becomes more cost-effective as quantity climbs, with color consistency across every copy.

  • Lower per-unit cost at volume
  • Tightest color matching across a full print run
  • Pairs naturally with mailing and co-mail services

Built to Handle the Whole Project

Paper, binding, distribution, and a digital version of the finished piece — we treat your catalog or magazine as one project, not four separate vendors. 

Paper-Icon-Blue-2

Paper That Matches the Job

Text and cover weights, coated or uncoated — matched to how your piece is read, mailed, and handled.

Binding for How It's Used

Saddle stitch, perfect bind, or Wire-O — we help you choose based on page count and how long it needs to last. 

Distro-Icon-Orange-2

Distribution, Handled

Full mailing services, co-mail pooling, or box-and-ship to your team — we get finished pieces where they need to go. 

Digital-Icon-DK-Blue-1

A Digital Version, Too

Every printed catalog or magazine can become an interactive flipbook for your website — at no extra production step. 

Paper & Binding Options

These are the building blocks of every catalog and magazine project. Your Integra rep will help you land on the right combination for your budget and how the piece will be used.

Paper Options

Cover stock protects and sells the piece; text stock is what your reader spends the most time with. 

Gloss Cover & Text

Sharp, vibrant color reproduction — the standard choice for photo-heavy catalogs and lifestyle magazines.

Silk / Semi-Gloss

A softer sheen that cuts glare while still holding color well. A popular middle ground for trade publications.

Uncoated

Natural, tactile feel with less shine. Common for text-forward magazines, literary publications, and pieces meant to feel less "advertising."

Weight Range (Thickness of Paper)

Text stock typically runs 70# to 100#; cover stock runs 80# to 130#, depending on how sturdy the piece needs to be.

Binding Options

Page count and how the piece gets handled usually decide the binding, more than personal preference. 

Saddle Stitch

Stapled through the spine. The most economical option and works well for pieces up to around 60–80 pages. Can mail without an envelope.

Perfect Bind

A flat, printable spine like a paperback book. Suited to thicker catalogs and magazines, generally 32+ pages.

Wire-O / Spiral

Lays fully flat and holds up to repeated use — a strong fit for reference catalogs, manuals-in-magazine-form, or anything used at a desk.

Self-Cover vs. Plus-Cover

Self-cover uses the same stock throughout; plus-cover adds a heavier, distinct cover for extra shelf presence.

Distribution Options

Printing is only half the job. Here's how finished catalogs and magazines actually get to your readers. 

Turn Any Printed Piece Into a Digital Flipbook

Every catalog or magazine we print can also be delivered as an interactive online flipbook — something you can embed right on your website so visitors can page through it digitally, no download required. It's a simple add-on to your existing project, not a separate production process.
