COLLATERAL SYSTEM 02 / 12
One-pagers, trifolds & catalogs
From a single product record to a one-pager, a trifold, and a full catalog.
The same product facts drive three print formats. Change a spec once and every piece that mentions it changes with it.
THE OUTPUT / GENERATED FOR APEX INSTRUMENTS
What it makes.
A Letter one-pager, a two-sided 11 x 8.5 trifold, and an eight-page catalog, all from one product record.
Apex Instruments, Northlight Group, and every name, price, and contact in these files are fictional demo data. The real versions of this system run inside client systems and are not shown.
THE MECHANISM / SHOW THE SHAPE, NOT THE SOURCE
How it is made.
- 01Ask
Name the format and the products to include. The system already knows the specs.
- 02Recipe
One skill per format: the one-pager anatomy, the six-panel trifold map, the catalog page types (cover, contents, product, accessories, plans, back).
- 03Assemble
Pages are generated from the product records with inline line-art silhouettes, never stock photos.
- 04Check
Panel guides, page counts, and orphan headings are checked in a real render. A trifold with a panel that overflows never ships.
- 05Ship
Print-ready PDFs with a page map, plus PNG previews for the web.
WHAT IT READS
- Product records (names, specs, codes)
- Service plan table
- Brand tokens and print rules
- Panel and bleed specs per format
WHAT IT CHECKS BEFORE IT SHIPS
- Trifold panels measure exactly 3.667 in
- Catalog page count matches the contents page
- Specs identical across all three pieces
- No page relies on color alone
Counts only. Client and partner names, source files, and internal wording stay private. Every example on this page was regenerated for the fictional company rather than de-branded from client work.
