A practical guide to ordering business cards in Torrevieja: how to choose the design, paper and finish for your business and prepare your file.

A stylish catalogue sells for your business even when you are not there: customers flick through it at the counter, read it at home and show it to other people. That is why it deserves vivid colour, sharp photos and a binding that impresses and survives daily use. At PrintCopyLab in Torrevieja we digitally print and bind catalogues for businesses, shops, hotels and restaurants. The full-colour catalogue shown here, with text, illustrations and step-by-step product photos, is a good example.
Size: think about how it will be used
Before designing, decide how the catalogue will reach the customer: handed over, left on the counter, shown in a meeting or sent by post. Then choose:
- A4 portrait: the most comfortable for many products and large photos.
- A5: easier to carry and post; ideal for short catalogues.
- A4 landscape: works well for products with wide photos, such as furniture, renovations or views.
If your range changes every season, short digital print runs let you update the catalogue without piling up outdated stock.
Binding: spiral and plastic covers
Spiral binding opens fully and lies flat, which is very practical for working catalogues with lots of references, price lists or data sheets. It is durable and the pages turn easily. For a more polished look at trade fairs or for important clients, you can add plastic covers at the front and back: they protect the inside from knocks, scuffs and damp, and look professional. If you prefer a firmer cover, it can also be printed on thick paper.
Paper and finish
For inside pages with photos, a medium or medium-heavy paper gives better colours and stops the next page showing through. If there is mostly text and few images, a lighter paper is enough and keeps the run cheaper. Covers are best printed on a heavier stock, and lamination is possible on thick paper, which protects the cover from scuffs and marks and helps it last far longer. Gold or metallic tones in a design are printed as colour, so what matters is a well-prepared file for a faithful result.
How to prepare your file
- Send a single PDF with the pages in order.
- Leave generous inner margins on the spiral side so nothing is hidden.
- Use good-resolution images; original phone photos are usually fine, screenshots are not.
- Check prices, text, phone numbers and page numbers before printing: it is the cheapest time to fix them.
- Tell us how many copies you need, the type of covers and whether you want the cover laminated.
If your design is not finished yet, we can also help you lay it out with your logo and brand colours.
