About the Limited Edition template
This limited edition catalog template turns the edition number into its main graphic. The front cover sets a huge 07 in Abril Fatface above the words of 50, beside a framed photo of a fluted vase on a concrete plinth, and a small round seal repeats the number. Work Sans carries the text, Courier Prime types the edition details like a gallery label, and warm cream pages with antique-gold rules let colorful ceramics and abstract paintings stand out across 16 pages.
The content shows buyers what is left before they ask. An edition ledger lists how many of each piece were made and how many remain, the terms limit partners to one piece per edition, and a seven-day preview gives stockists first access. Bring pieces in from Shopify or a CSV file, note each edition size in the description or as a Shopify metafield, and print it under every photo. Send partners the wholesale flipbook before a release, and print the PDF for studio visits and fairs.

Pages worth a closer look
The edition number as the cover image
A huge serif 07 and the words of 50 fill the left of the cover, with a framed vase photo and a round edition seal on the right. A short paragraph explains the edition sizes, so buyers understand the offer before they open the catalog.
An edition ledger of what is left
The table lists every open edition with the number made, the number still available, retail and trade prices, and a note that the figures are correct at the time of printing. Update the remaining numbers before each send to keep the page honest.
Seven days of partner access
Under a photo of hands at the potter's wheel, a row of numbered days marks the seven-day partner window and the public release on day eight. Early access becomes something a buyer can see on a calendar rather than a vague promise.
A gallery label on the poster cover
The poster cover prints the word Edition across a sunlit wall and adds a framed label card with edition number, medium, signature and the partners' early-access window, set in the typewriter face the template uses for edition details.
A kiln opening invitation
Date, hours and place sit under a photo of an artist at work, with a line inviting partners to watch the kiln opened and reserve a number before the public announcement. It suits any launch where the first look matters most.
How to sell limited editions to galleries and stores
State the edition size before anything else
Buyers judge an edition by its size. Print it on every product, for example 50 pieces, and say whether artist proofs exist outside that number. Never reopen a closed edition in a new color under the same name, because buyers will stop trusting every number you publish afterwards.
Keep a ledger and share it
Record each number as it is reserved, with the partner and the date. Sharing the count of pieces left, as the ledger page does, helps buyers decide quickly and prevents two stores being promised the same number. Refresh the figures before every catalog send.
Send a certificate with every piece
A signed certificate with the edition number, title, medium, dimensions and date gives the end customer proof of what they bought. Stores sell numbered work more easily when they can hand that paper over at the till, and any later resale depends on it too.
Limit allocations per partner
When editions are small, one store can take the whole run and leave everyone else with nothing. A rule such as one piece per edition per partner spreads your work across more shops and more cities, which builds a wider following than a single large order would.
Pack for the most fragile piece
Ceramics and framed prints need crating or double boxing, insured transport and a clear damage procedure. Give delivery times and the reporting window on the terms page, and show how pieces are packed. Buyers placing a first order for fragile work want to know it will arrive whole.

Questions about this template
Can I show the edition size and the pieces left for each product?
Yes. Add the edition size and the number remaining to the product description or a Shopify metafield, and include that field on your product pages so it prints under every photo. The edition ledger page is an editable table, so you can update the numbers before you print or share a new version.
Is the Limited Edition template only for ceramics?
No. The sample shows vases and art prints, but the numbered-edition structure suits small-batch fragrance, jewelry, textiles, books or any product released in a fixed quantity. Rename the sections, replace the photos and keep the ledger, the early-access offer and the edition terms that make scarcity believable.
What is the difference between a limited edition and an open edition?
A limited edition has a fixed number of pieces, usually numbered and signed, and it is not reproduced once sold out. An open edition can be produced for as long as there is demand. Limited editions carry higher prices because their scarcity is guaranteed, which is why the number has to be printed and honored.
What are artist proofs in a limited edition?
Artist proofs are a small number of extra pieces made alongside a numbered edition, traditionally kept by the artist and marked AP instead of a number. They often amount to around a tenth of the edition. If you sell them, list them separately with their own price so buyers can see the full count.
