6 x 9 catalogs are the second smallest standard catalog size and are an effective material to use in direct mail campaigns or as handouts.

Before you begin designing your 6x9 catalog, it’s important that you determine two things. First, what is the purpose of your catalog? Second, who is your target audience? When you can determine the purpose of your catalog and define your audience, you’ll be able to more easily create a catalog design that successfully delivers your message while appealing to your specific audience.

Once you have determined these two things, make sure to download a free 6x9 catalog design template which we have several versions of above.

The 6x9 catalog template offers helpful guidelines for you to follow so that your catalog design has the proper trim area, bleed, and margin space for printing.

Additionally, when designing your 6x9 catalog, you want to make sure that you have a simple and clean layout, an eye-catching cover that intrigues your audience to open your catalog, high-quality images, and you need to make sure branding, your color palette, and typeface or fonts are consistent throughout your entire catalog.
