Flexible Trim Sizes, Paper & Page Count Options
We support standard trim sizes including A4, A5, and custom dimensions. Understanding softcover book printing cost factors (page count, quantity, paper selection, cover finish) helps you make informed decisions.
Specialized Production for Any Publishing Need
Whether you need a self-published novel, a corporate training manual, or an art photography book, our production capabilities adapt to your requirements. Paper weight, cover stock, binding method, and finishing are all tailored to your specific application.
1. What is perfect binding?
Perfect binding is the standard binding method for softcover books. Pages are glued together at the spine and attached to a flexible paper cover. It creates a clean, professional look with a flat spine that can display title and author information.
2. What is the default interior paper stock?
Our default interior paper is 157gsm coated paper, which offers a smooth reading surface and minimizes show-through.
3. What is the minimum page count for perfect binding?
Perfect binding requires a minimum of 36 pages (18 sheets). For books under 48 pages, we recommend saddle stitching.
4. What is the minimum order quantity for softcover books?
Digital printing allows small runs starting from 50 copies. For custom softcover book printing bulk orders (500+ units), offset printing offers the best per-unit value.
5. Do you assign ISBNs or provide copyright assistance?
No. We do not provide ISBN assignment or legal copyright services. We recommend obtaining your own ISBN through your country's authorized agency.
6. How long does production take?
Typical turnaround is 7–10 business days after artwork approval, depending on page count, quantity, and binding requirements. Rush options available.
7. What file formats do you accept?
We accept print-ready PDF files with embedded fonts and proper bleed settings (4mm on all sides, 300 DPI minimum). We recommend separate files for cover and interior.
