Yearbook printing for schools, colleges, clubs and leavers' books, printed and bound in our own Exeter bindery.
For a year group, a sixth form, a college or a club, a yearbook gets signed, passed round and kept for decades, so we recommend thread-sewn binding for repeated use. Glued binding is also available, with a hardback case or a soft cover. Choose full colour throughout on white uncoated or silk stock, A5, A4 or square, hardback or paperback, with foil blocked names or a crest on the cover. From 10 copies (25 for hardbacks), with a free digital proof on every order.
A5 leads, with A4, square and every standard trim, or any size to the millimetre. Portrait, landscape or square.
Thread-sewn and case-bound to survive being passed round, or a paperback for a lighter edition. Printed case or cloth with the crest or the year foil blocked.
Uncoated book papers for text, coated for photographs and illustration, all from the calculator range up to 170gsm. The preview page shows the stock in its own shade.
Black and white, colour or a mix of the two. The slider follows the binding's page rules, so every count it offers is one we can bind.
Every run size from 10 copies (25 for hardbacks) is priced live, with a free digital proof on every order.
For hardback orders, the printed proof is a plain-cover paperback with a separate sample of your cover. About proofs.
Ordering for a whole year group? Price it at a few quantities, the per-copy cost falls sharply between 50 and 150.

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.

Yearbook pricing depends on size, page count, colour, paper, binding and the number of copies for your school or group. Cover materials and finishing choices also affect the per-copy price. Use the calculator above for your exact specification, or compare UK book printing prices.
From 10 copies (25 for hardbacks), with no maximum. Most school yearbook runs land between 50 and 250 copies; sixth-form leavers books are often 75 to 150. Pricing scales meaningfully at 25, 50 and 100 copies, so it's worth running the quote at a couple of quantities to find your sweet spot.
Standard production takes 5 to 7 working days for paperbacks and 3 to 4 weeks for hardbacks, from proof approval. Delivery is additional. If you have a deadline, tell us before ordering so we can confirm what is achievable.
Yes, mixed-stock books can be quoted to your specification. A common pattern is uncoated 80 to 100gsm for the text-heavy sections (signature pages, messages, the introduction) and coated 115 to 150gsm silk for the photo plates. We can also bind in different colours, paper weights or even special inserts at specified page positions.
Press-ready PDF is easiest. We can also accept Microsoft Word files and convert them to PDF at no charge. For the cleanest result your file should include 3mm bleed on all edges, all images at 300 DPI, and CMYK colour throughout. Page dimensions should match the trim size you've ordered. Free file check on every job, we'll flag any issues before press.
A yearbook documents the entire school's academic year, class photos, events, sports, trips across all year groups. A leavers book focuses on the graduating year specifically, with student profiles, teacher messages, group photos and signature pages. Many schools combine elements of both. Production-wise the spec choices are identical.
We don't design yearbooks ourselves but we work regularly with designers who do, and we're happy to introduce you. Most schools also work with a parent volunteer or a sixth-form student who's done the layout in InDesign or Canva, both work fine for our printing process. If you'd like recommendations, drop us a note.
Yes, we send out free sample packs showing different binding styles, paper stocks and finishes, including bound dummy yearbooks where stock allows. Useful for the parent committee or design team to handle before signing off the spec.
