HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - August 13, 2009) - The Marion Group, a B-to-B, Houston catalog design firm, announces the release of Total Safety's 2009-2010 Products and Services Catalog. Total Safety is a leading global provider of integrated safety solutions and services. Marion provided a turnkey service to produce this nearly 200-page full-color catalog that showcases a selection of the safety products, equipment and safety services that Total Safety offers.

Marion's Turnkey Service

Marion was responsible for the overall project coordination, as well as the content development including writing, editing, gathering product images, proofing and communicating with suppliers on behalf of Total Safety. Marion's graphic design services included the development of the page template and cover design to reflect Total Safety's graphic standards and brand identity.

The Marion Group produced the page layouts and electronic production of the catalog. To complete the project, Marion also handled the printing of the catalog.

A Catalog with the Customer in Mind

Charles Ripoll, Total Safety Executive Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, says, "The goal of the publication was not only to feature top brand products and services, but to provide a comprehensive guide for all the latest in cutting-edge safety services and equipment. Total Safety's catalog represents the world's best safety products all in one centralized place to make our customers' jobs easier and to keep them safer."

Paul Tyree, Total Safety Vice President U.S. Operations, thinks that "while the catalog is very in-depth with an extensive listing of products, the catalog is easy to read, which makes ordering very simple" for their customers.

The catalog was printed on a web press to the final specifications of: 8.375" W X 10.875" H; 198 pages + cover. The cover was printed on 100# gloss paper, and the text was 70# gloss paper. The book was perfect bound with a UV coating on the cover.
