Industrial product catalog

Project Summary

A complete redesign of a 48-page product catalog for Kentec Composites. The project modernized the catalog layout, improved readability of technical data, and delivered both print-ready and digital interactive versions with a clickable table of contents.

Client Background

Kentec Composites manufactures fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) grating and structural systems used in industrial, marine, and infrastructure environments. Their products are commonly specified by engineers and purchased by contractors working in corrosive or demanding operating conditions.

The company’s catalog plays an important role in the sales process by providing both product overview information and detailed technical specifications needed for project planning and procurement.

Challenge

The existing catalog had become difficult to navigate and inconsistent across product sections.

The existing catalog had evolved and had become difficult to navigate. Product sections were inconsistent, technical information was hard to locate quickly, and the overall presentation no longer reflected the professionalism of the company’s expanding product line.

Because engineers and contractors often rely on catalogs as technical references, the redesign needed to prioritize clarity, organization, and ease of use.

Design Approach

The redesign focused on creating a structured layout system that balanced product photography, technical information, and supporting visuals.

A consistent grid and typography hierarchy were implemented to improve readability across the entire document. Product sections were reorganized so readers could quickly understand available product categories and locate specification tables.

Product photography was cleaned and composited to present materials and applications more clearly. Visual elements such as icons, section headers, and graphic separators were used to help guide readers through the catalog.

The final piece was delivered as both a high-resolution print catalog and an interactive digital version suitable for email distribution and website downloads.

Complete layout rebuild

Developed a consistent grid system across all catalog pages to handle complex product tables, diagrams, and technical content.

Technical data clarity

Reorganized specification tables and diagrams so engineers and purchasing teams can locate key information quickly.

Image cleanup and composites

Enhanced product photography through retouching and composite image creation to produce clearer visuals for industrial applications.

Interactive digital catalog

Created a clickable table of contents allowing users to jump directly to product sections within the PDF version.

Print ready production

Prepared high resolution files suitable for professional printing while ensuring the layout translates seamlessly to the digital version.

Services Provided

This project combined several services to modernize the catalog and improve how Kentec communicates its products and technical information.

Results

The redesigned catalog provides a clearer presentation of Kentec’s product line and helps engineers and purchasing teams quickly locate the information they need when evaluating materials for projects.

For the Kentec sales team, the catalog now serves as a polished marketing and technical reference that supports trade show presentations, client meetings, and digital distribution.

The new layout system also makes it easier to update and expand the catalog as new products are introduced. Projects like this are part of Blueleaf Creative’s product and service catalog design work for industrial and B2B companies.

SCALABLE
CATALOG SYSTEM

designed for future product expansion

Working with Blueleaf Creative on our 48-page catalog was a massive win for us. We have a huge range of technical products, and our old layout was honestly a bit of a headache for our customers to navigate. Blueleaf took all that data and actually made it look clean and organized. Our engineers are thrilled because the spec tables are finally easy to read, and the interactive PDF version has been a huge hit with our sales team. It’s rare to find someone who can handle a project this size without losing track of the details. Highly recommend if you have a complex project that needs to actually work for your customers.
