Printing books since the 1990s. An experienced print and binding team on every job we handle.
We started printing books for our parent publishing company, Imprint Academic, in the 1990s. The need was simple: produce short runs of academic books quickly and to a high standard without the minimum quantities demanded by offset lithography.
By 2007 we had expanded our facilities at our site in Upton Pyne and began working with a growing number of publishers, independent authors, and businesses across the UK.
Today, everything is still handled in-house at our production facility. Publishers, authors, charities, corporations and universities all work with us, from small first editions to thousand-copy runs for established imprints.
Our books are printed and bound at our Exeter works. We can talk you through the materials and production requirements for your specification.
We've produced millions of books over three decades, and the thing that's never changed is this: every book matters. Not as a job number, not as a transaction, as something someone has worked hard to create. That's why we keep it in-house. Every stage. Every time.
Every stage (print, bind, finish, pack) is handled by our own team on-site. You deal with one company, your book never leaves our care until it is dispatched to you.
We were built for short-run work. There is no penalty for small quantities, the same quality and care goes into 10 copies as 10,000.
Our Universe sewing machine produces premium thread-sewn books for durability and easier opening. Glued binding offers a lower-cost option, from 10 paperbacks or 25 hardbacks.
If any book fails to meet our own quality standards, we reprint it at no additional cost or delay to you. No quibble, no admin, no excuses.
We pick up the phone. We aim to reply to emails by the next working day. Publishers and authors have trusted us for over 25 years because we treat every job as if it matters, because it does.
Years of producing books mean we understand what can go wrong and how to prevent it. Our team's collective expertise is one of our most valuable assets.
