FAQs
What is the max page count on 80 gsm paper?
Paperback (perfect) and hardcover: typically up to 700 pages. Saddle stitched: up to 48 internal pages. Wire, coil or comb: about 10 to 300 pages depending on coil size.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum order. We specialise in short runs with AU wide delivery.
How long does it take?
Typical flow: quote, file check, digital proof, print, dispatch. Timelines depend on specification and quantity.
What files do you accept?
Print ready PDF (fonts embedded, CMYK, 300 dpi images) with bleed and safe margins.
What sizes and margins should I use?
Use common sizes (A5, 6x9 in). Allow larger inner margins on thicker books to avoid gutter loss.
How do I calculate spine width?
Rule of thumb: spine_mm = (page_count / 2) x paper_caliper_mm.
Do you print children books, A5 or family history books?
Yes. Paperbacks, casebound keepsakes, and workbooks are all supported.
What is the cheapest way to print a book?
Minimise colour pages, choose common stocks (80–100 gsm text, 250–300 gsm cover), pick popular sizes (A5 / 6x9), and print at price breaks.
