Auction catalogue printing & design

Design, repro and print

Park|Graphius is one of Britain’s leaders in auction catalogue printing, preferred by the likes of Lyon & Turnbull and Woolley & Wallis for our premium production values.

Our specialism in the auctions industry draws on the skill and experience of three different specialist teams: design, repro and print. By conducting every step in the print process under one roof, we’re able to maintain meticulous standards of speed and quality colour-control.

For auction houses such as Sworders, this means Park|Graphius is the sole supplier needed to produce catalogues. Entire production cycles, from brief, to design, to final delivery, can span as little as six days.

Auction catalogue design

Park’s design team is experienced in the unique reader journeys of auction catalogues. For every client, we begin by creating a bespoke design template to create an identifiable house style. For each catalogue, the design team collates images and copy, working with you to decide how to present the lots, and in which order.

Tempt buyers with exceptional quality print

With our extensive portfolio of fine art projects, Park’s print reproduction is second to none. We’ll print true-to-life photography of paintings and other objects to capture the imagination of your buyers in the run-up to the sale.

Retouching & reprography

Our retouching and reprographics experts then begin work on the images. Working to the Park’s ISO 12647 colour management standard, we balance colours, clean up backgrounds, and neutralise greys to present each lot at its finest.

This service combines human expertise with technological capability: working GMG colour proofing software and online proofing systems to fine-tune details.
