Artful Dragon
Press can help you significantly lower your book printing
costs (by up to 30%) when printing books of all genres overseas
in medium to high run quantities.
No one produces books better than the book printers in overseas
markets including Asia, China, Indonesia and India—whether
it is a hardbound, softbound, board or Wire-O book (even Textbooks and Coffee
Table Books!). Artful Dragon Press can produce your book
printing project on time, on budget and with excellent quality.
Here Are Some Typical Book
Printing Formats:
Hardbound Book Printing
These can be cloth covered (like a textbook or novel), leather covered
(like a journal) or can have a printed and laminated cover
(like a photo or art book). Hardbound books all have end sheets
that help adhere the text pages to the inside of the cover.
Softbound Book Printing
These books have a soft card-stock cover. The covers are normally
printed in full color with a laminate applied for durability. The
text pages and cover are held together with glue at the spine. If
the book has a high page count, the text pages and cover are often
stitched and then glued at the spine.
Board Book Printing
These books have thick, hard covers and thick, hard text pages,
and are normally printed in full color. The binding and pages are
durable, hence their use for children's books. The text pages and
cover are held together with glue at the spine. If the book has
a high page count, the text pages and cover are often stitched and
then glued at the spine.
Wire-O or Spiral-Bound Book Printing
These books have a soft, card-stock cover. The covers are usually
printed in full color with a laminate applied for durability. The
text pages and cover are held together with exposed spiral wire
or plastic binding. A concealed Wire-O bind features a binding that
is covered (the spine has printing on it for viewing when on a shelf).
This type of binding allows the pages to be laid perfectly flat—this
is a major advantage for books like cookbooks, journals or instructional
books.
Text Book Printing
There are only a handful of textbook printers in the U.S. who have
the presses required to print textbooks and these printers must
be reserved months in advance. Textbook printing is highly unique
and quite unlike printing other forms of books.
Minimum Book Printing Orders
If you have a single color product, you normally need to print at lease 10 to15,000 pieces for best cost effectiveness. If it is a full color product, excellent savings can occur on quantities as low as 2,500 pieces. It greatly depends on the page count, the binding style and the overall project complexity.
