Find and view catalogues

Finding catalogues

Find specific catalogues by entering the catalogue name in the main navigation bar and selecting the Catalogues option from the search type drop-down.

You can also refine your catalogue results by several catalogue aspects:

  • Catalogue type — filter to only seasonal or only custom catalogues

  • Catalogued by — filter on the company that posted the catalogue(s). If you have Favourites set, you can select 'My Favourites' as an option.

  • Status — include or exclude catalogues based on their draft, published, trade-only, or archived status
