Brand books, client gifts, thought-leadership titles and training manuals printed short run with premium finishes that represent your brand properly.
When a book carries your brand, the production quality is the message. A soft-touch cover, a foil-blocked spine or a thread-sewn binding that opens flat on the boardroom table tells the reader something about your standards before they’ve read a word.
We print brand books, company history editions, client gift titles, product lookbooks and founder-authored thought-leadership books in the short-to-medium quantities businesses actually need — a handful of boardroom copies or a conference giveaway run of several hundred. Premium print finishing, reliable deadlines for launches and events, and a finish that holds its own against any trade-published title.
The definitive printed record of your visual identity. Hardback case-bound, foil-blocked spine, premium uncoated or coated stock — a reference that commands respect on the shelf.
Milestone editions marking 25, 50 or 100 years. Thread-sewn hardback, mix of archival mono and full colour, embossed covers — a lasting record for staff, clients and stakeholders.
Gift-grade hardbacks with soft-touch lamination, foil blocking and ribbon markers. Short runs are fine — even a few dozen copies are handled with the same care as a larger edition.
Authored books positioned for sale or strategic distribution. ISBN barcoded, trade-ready, with a finish that competes on any bookshop shelf. <a href="/onix">ONIX metadata</a> included at no extra cost.
Build the spec, see the price live. No account required, no email gate — just an instant figure based on what you actually want.
Soft-touch lamination on the cover is the single biggest upgrade — that velvet, tactile surface signals quality the moment someone picks it up. Add foil blocking on the title or logo and you have a finish that competes with any high-end trade publication. Embossing, spot UV and ribbon markers each add another layer. We’re happy to talk through which combination suits your brief and budget.
For most hardback gift editions the practical floor is around 50 copies, though smaller quantities can sometimes be accommodated depending on spec. If you need fewer, a high-quality perfect-bound or saddle-stitch edition may be a better fit. Get a quote with your exact requirements and we’ll find the most cost-effective route.
Absolutely. We apply your ISBN barcode to the cover and provide a free ONIX metadata file for your distributor, so the book is ready to list in the trade and sell through retail channels. The print finish is indistinguishable from a mainstream published title.
Deadline reliability for launches and events is something we take seriously. The best way to protect your date is to talk to us early — before files are finalised if possible. We can advise on realistic schedules for your spec and flag any risks in advance. Get in touch with your deadline and we’ll work back from there.
