Professional printing for adult content — erotic fiction, adult comics, art and photography books. Discreet, confidential, from 10 copies.
Most printers won’t touch adult content. Print-on-demand platforms ban it outright or bury it under “content guidelines” that shift without warning — authors wake up to find a backlist delisted and no appeal route. High-street printers refuse the job at the counter. The result is a legitimate, sizeable market of creators with nowhere professional to print.
We print NSFW and adult material at our Exeter bindery with exactly the same professionalism as everything else we produce. Erotic fiction, adult comics and graphic novels, art and photography books, adult zines. Your files are handled confidentially, your order ships in plain, unmarked packaging, and nobody here is going to make it weird. The only line we draw is the legal one: content must be lawful to publish in the UK.
Price your book live — no NSFW surcharge, no email, no sign-up.
Spicy romance, dark romance and erotica — special editions, reader-magnet paperbacks and hardbacks the POD platforms won’t print or won’t promote.
Adult-rated comics, manga-style work and graphic novels. Full-colour on silk stocks, perfect or PUR bound, convention-ready runs.
Nude and erotic art books, boudoir photography editions, life-drawing collections. Premium coated stocks and hardback finishing that respect the work.
Adult zines, queer and kink small-press publications, subscription-box exclusives. Short runs from 10 copies, reprints on demand.

Perfect, PUR or case binding, lamination and foil applied in-house.
Plain, unmarked packaging with a neutral sender name, via DPD — to you, not your neighbours’ curiosity.
Yes — if it’s lawful to publish in the UK, we’ll print it, and we won’t make you justify it. Erotic fiction of any heat level, adult comics, explicit art and photography are all fine. We’re a professional bindery, not a content platform: there’s no algorithm, no shifting guidelines, no account suspension.
Anything unlawful to publish in the UK — most importantly, any sexual depiction of under-18s (including drawn or fictional characters presented as minors), and extreme material as defined by UK law. We also require that photographic work depicts consenting adult models and that you hold the rights to the material. That’s the whole list. If something falls on the wrong side of it we’ll tell you directly and confidentially.
Every NSFW order ships in plain, unmarked outer packaging with a neutral sender name on the label and courier notifications. Nothing on the outside of the parcel — or in the DPD email — indicates the contents or that it came from a printer at all.
Production staff only — the people who prepress, print and bind the job. Files are stored in your private account, aren’t used in our marketing or samples, and are never shared. If you’d like your job excluded from internal reference archives too, say so on the order and it will be.
For printing, yes — and usually with better production quality and unit costs at 25+ copies. What we don’t do is distribution: you’ll receive stock to sell through your own channels (direct sales, conventions, your web shop, subscription boxes). Many adult-content authors run exactly this model deliberately — direct sales at full margin, no platform risk. From 10 copies, reprints whenever you need them.
Yes — this is one of the biggest categories we print. Case-bound hardbacks with foil-blocked covers, printed endpapers and ribbon markers, at special-edition quality from 25 copies. Hardback printing covers the format details; order through the same quote flow.
No. There’s no NSFW surcharge and no special-category pricing — a 300-page B-format paperback costs the same whatever the story does in chapter twelve. Use the quote calculator for a live price.
Yes — NSFW print orders are accepted from customers aged 18 or over only, and by placing one you’re confirming that.
