It was my first time printing books with Imprint, and I had a really good experience. The books came out just as I expected, and they were packed really carefully for delivery. Happy with the service and the quality!

Brilliant company, which I highly recommend for any printing task, large or small.

I would give 10 stars if I could. This was my first foray into preparing a book myself for self publishing. In the past we have paid a designer a vast amount which wasn’t a cost effective option for this project. Riley at Imprint was endlessly helpful and patient and we have ended up with a very professional product at an incredibly reasonable price. What is even more outstanding is that I approved the final PDF on Wednesday and received the books on Friday!

I'm delighted with the whole printing experience with ImprintDigital. In a book with many colour photos and detailed technical illustrations, the printing quality is absolutely superb, with bright, true colours, sharp details and a high-quality glossy texture. The ordering process was simple and email responses were fast, friendly and professional..A delivery issue caused by another company was handled swiftly and elegantly. I highly recommend ImprintDigital.

The detail

Preparing a religious book for print

Comfortable reading

  • Choose a type size and line spacing suited to your readers.
  • Check small references, footnotes and page numbers at the final trim.
  • Use consistent headings to make readings and sections easy to find.

Paper and opacity

  • Compare uncoated stocks for text and coated papers for illustrations.
  • Check show-through where both sides carry dense text.
  • Ask us to assess very thin paper or unusually high page counts before finalising the design.

Binding for the way it is used

  • Compare a flexible paperback with a rigid hardback.
  • Thread-sewn sections can make a book easier to open; the finished behaviour depends on the specification.
  • Confirm any ribbon, foil or cloth choices in the calculator.

Check the final files

  • Supply an approved interior PDF and a separate cover file.
  • Check numbering, quotations, special characters and references in the proof.
  • For right-to-left text, confirm the binding edge and cover arrangement before ordering.
Questions

Religious Book Printing FAQ

How much does religious book printing cost?

Size, page count, paper, colour, binding and quantity determine the price. Configure your book above to compare runs of the same specification. Delivery and optional proof choices are itemised separately.

What is the minimum order for a prayer or devotional book?

Paperbacks start at 10 copies and hardbacks at 25. You can compare a small run for a reading group with a larger run for a congregation, organisation or publisher.

Can you print prayer books, devotionals and religious study books?

These can be printed from your finished interior PDF and cover file. Choose the page size, paper and binding for the way the book will be used. For short service booklets, see order of service printing.

What paper should I choose for a religious book?

Uncoated paper is a useful starting point for text. Compare shade, opacity and feel using our sample pack. For a Bible-style edition with very thin paper or an unusually high page count, ask us to check the full specification before finalising the files.

Can I choose cloth, foil lettering or a ribbon marker?

Switch to hardback to compare the supported cover materials and finishing options, including cloth, foil and ribbon markers. The calculator applies the options available for the selected binding and cover.

Can a book include other scripts or read from right to left?

Supply a PDF with the intended characters and fonts embedded, and check the proof carefully. For right-to-left editions, confirm the page sequence, binding edge and cover layout with us before ordering. Reading direction is not a calculator setting.

Will a thread-sewn religious book lie completely flat?

Thread-sewn sections generally help a book open more easily, but paper, page count, size and cover construction all affect the result. We do not promise that every sewn book will lie completely flat. See thread-sewn binding or ask for a sample.

Can I check a proof before the full print run?

A digital proof is included. A printed proof is optional. For a hardback order, the printed proof is a plain-cover paperback with a separate cover sample. Read proofs and author copies to see what each option includes.
