We print for authors, universities, studios and teams across the CBD, Docklands, the Inner North and South, Eastern and Western suburbs, Bayside and beyond. If you’re outside Melbourne, you can also view our Australia-wide book printing service areas.
Whether you’re launching a new title, updating a training manual or producing a corporate publication, we focus on clean trims, accurate colour and durable binding so your books look and feel professional.
Short-Run Digital Book Printing for Melbourne Authors and Teams
Short runs are at the heart of what we do. That means you can:
- Print small quantities for launches, workshops, courses or events.
- Reprint as needed rather than storing large amounts of stock.
- Combine black & white and colour pages where it makes sense.
- Choose formats and stocks that balance presentation and budget.
We regularly work with:
- Self-publishing authors and indie presses
- Design studios and creative agencies
- Universities, colleges and training providers
- Businesses, not-for-profits and community groups
- Government departments and project teams
If you’re based in Melbourne or anywhere in Victoria, you get the same specialist support and clear communication from quote through to delivery.
Book Formats and Bindings We Print Every Day
Because we specialise in book printing, we offer a range of binding styles so you can match the look, feel and durability you need:
- Paperback Book Printing (Perfect Bound / PUR)
Ideal for novels, memoirs, non-fiction and general trade titles where a bookstore-style softcover is the best fit. - Hardcover Book Printing (Case Bound)
A strong, rigid cover for premium projects such as coffee-table books, gift books, family histories and presentation pieces. - Booklets & Catalogues (Saddle-Stitched)
Folded and stapled along the spine – perfect for programs, small manuals, guides, lookbooks and event booklets. - Manuals & Workbooks (Wire / Coil / Comb Bound)
Lay-flat binding suited to course materials, training manuals, recipe books and any book that needs to sit flat on a desk or bench. - Children’s and Cookbooks
Sturdy stocks and practical formats, from picture books through to recipe collections.
If you’re not sure which binding or format is right for your project, we can recommend a setup once we know more about your content, page count and how the book will be used.
Recommended Specs for Melbourne Book Projects
Using proven trims and paper stocks can keep pricing sharp while still delivering an excellent result:
- Popular trim sizes: A5 or 6×9 in for most titles; A4 for manuals and workbooks.
- Internal stocks: 80–100 gsm uncoated for reading-heavy pages; 113–150 gsm coated stocks for image-heavy content.
- Covers: around 250–350 gsm with matte, gloss or soft-touch lamination.
- Binding: PUR perfect binding for most paperbacks; case bound for long-term keepsakes and premium editions; saddle stitch for slimmer booklets; wire/coil for manuals and workbooks.
We can talk you through the options so you’re confident in the balance between quality, durability and budget.

Smart Pricing Tips for Melbourne Book Printing
To keep your project within budget, consider:
- Choosing common sizes and stocks for more efficient production.
- Keeping colour pages to where they add the most value.
- Printing at sensible breakpoints (for example 50, 100 or 250 copies).

We’re happy to suggest specification changes that reduce cost without compromising the purpose of your book.
