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.

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.

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.
