Booklet Printing — Saddle-Stitched 

Yes. You can order from one copy, whether it is a personal keepsake, a gift, your finished manuscript or a copy to review before ordering more. We also print small batches and short runs for authors, families, schools and businesses.

Yes. Short runs of 50–500 copies suit book launches, direct sales, courses, school publications and business projects. Enter your specifications in the relevant calculator, then change the quantity to compare the total printing price and price per book.

Compare standard book sizes, suitable paper stocks and binding options. Black-and-white pages can help control costs where colour is not needed. Compare quantities using the same specifications, and include freight and GST when deciding what fits your budget.

Yes. You can purchase a single finished book before placing a larger order. We also offer softcover unbound proofs and hardcover unbound proofs . An unbound proof supplies loose printed sheets for checking; it does not show the finished binding.

Perfect-bound paperbacks suit novels, memoirs and many business books. Hardcovers are an option for illustrated books and keepsakes. Saddle stitching suits shorter booklets, while wire and coil binding allow manuals and workbooks to open flat. Minimum and maximum page counts depend on the binding and paper stock. Check the relevant calculator and our book binding guide before preparing your files.

Prepare separate print-ready PDFs for your internal pages and cover. Supply internal pages as individual pages in reading order, rather than spreads. Embed fonts and follow the bleed, margin, image and cover requirements for your chosen binding. Our file format guide and Author Resources Hub explain the preparation steps.

Use your final book size, page count and selected paper stock. Our book margins calculator , paperback spine calculator and hardcover spine calculator help you prepare the correct layout. Recalculate if you change the page count, paper, book size or binding before finalising your cover.

Timing depends on your book specifications, quantity, proofing requirements and delivery location. We deliver Australia-wide. If you need books for a launch, course or event, contact us before ordering so we can confirm the production and delivery arrangements for your project.

Provide your finished book size, black-and-white and colour page counts, binding, paper and cover preferences, quantity and delivery postcode. Include any special finishing requirements and your required delivery date. Check our quotation requirements for the details needed. An uploaded manuscript alone does not tell us how you want the book printed.
