FAQ

Before you
get in touch.

N° 01

Do you do hardcovers?

No. We specialise in softcover perfect-bound books. If you need case binding, we can advise - but we don't produce hardcovers in-house.

N° 02

Is this different from booklets?

Yes. Booklets lean marketing - often saddle-stitched on coated stock. Books & Publications are softcover perfect-bound titles with a proper spine: novels, self-pub, annual reports, and higher-end marketing books.

N° 03

What's the minimum order?

No hard minimum. Digital short runs make small quantities practical. Per-unit pricing improves as quantity climbs.

N° 04

Can covers be laminated?

Yes - gloss or matt laminate on the cover is common for reports and retail-facing books.

N° 05

Can you design the book?

Yes. Our in-house design team can handle cover design, typesetting, and layout from your manuscript or brand content.

N° 06

How long does it take?

Most softcover book jobs are ready in 7-14 business days depending on page count, laminate, and quantity. Rush work may be possible - call us early.
