Question

What's the difference between a catalog and a booklet?

Answer

They print almost the same way, but they do different jobs. The distinction is about purpose and content, not the production method.

CatalogBooklet
FocusProducts, pricing, orderingGuides, programs, information
Typical useSell a product lineExplain, inform, or present
ContentSKUs, photos, pricesArticles, schedules, instructions

Because the binding and printing overlap, many teams use the same specs for both and simply change what goes on the pages.
