An Easy to Read Catalog
This fall–holiday catalog by Cypress is a beautiful handmade catalog featuring a variety of layouts. Every product includes its own description and barcode. Images are mostly cut-outs, but there are also in-context pictures. At the end of the document, you’ll find an index based on the products’ SKUs. The catalog is quite easy to read and understand.
Christmas Over Your Plants
Jackson & Perkins’ catalog is focused on plants. The whole document is very clear and well structured and perfectly transmits the Christmas spirit. The catalog is mostly composed of in-context images, but sometimes there are cut-out images, too. There is no table of contents or chapter separators, but this doesn’t affect the readability of the document.
A Sober Christmas Catalog
Yankee Candle’s fall catalog is a quite sober document, considering that it contains Christmas products. In fact, they’re mixed in with fall products, which helps the document to maintain a low profile. The catalogue includes a mix of in-context pictures that typically bring several products together. Every product has its own number, which make it easy to identify specific objects.
Basic Christmas Catalog
Napco’s catalog is a 300+-page handmade document with a basic layout. Sometimes the products are displayed in a quite casual way, but they’re still accompanied by all relevant information. There are no chapter separators, but the beginning of the document has a table of contents, and it ends with an index based on the products’ SKU codes.
Colorful Christmas Catalog
This is a colorful Christmas decoration catalog by Temple Display. The beginning of the document features a basic table of contents, but no chapter separators are used. The catalog employs several layout styles, but it could have been created automatically. Each product appears above a detailed table featuring all of its information.
Tidy Catalog
Darice’s 2018 holiday catalog is a well structured and easy to read document that begins with a table of contents. Chapters are separated, and the products are presented using cut-out pictures. Every product includes only the most strictly necessary information, such as its name, price, and SKU.
Linear Christmas Catalog

The document itself is very clear and easy to understand.
