Picture this: You need to print a lot of books, and you need them all to be as high-quality as possible. You may need anywhere from several hundred to tens of thousands of copies. With such a tall order to fill, where do you turn?
A bulk printing service is your answer.
Bulk printing services not only save you a great deal of money compared to smaller print runs, but by using a book printing service like OnPress, you'll enjoy a variety of customizable options for all of your custom book printing needs. Here's how it works.
What types of books can be bulk printed?
You may be surprised to learn that nearly any type of book can be bulk printed, including:
Novels, nonfiction, and fiction books
Novels, nonfiction, and fiction books are some of the most-common choices for bulk printing. These types of books are generally printed with standard black-and-white interiors, which makes them more economical to be printed in bulk. However, although they're the most common, these are by no means the only types of books that can be bulk printed.
Children's books and activity books
Children's books and activity books (for the young and old) often feature colorful, durable pages. As a result, they need high-quality printing which bulk book printing services excel at. Activity books like mandala coloring books for adults or other types of high-quality black-and-white books can also be bulk printed, often in as little as two days.
Cookbooks
Want to share your family's beloved recipes? Looking to create an authentic ethnic recipe cookbook from your corner of the world? You'll be delighted to know that cookbooks can be printed in bulk, complete with stunning photographs of your most delicious dishes in full, vivid color.
Manuals and workbooks
Technical books, including detailed manuals and workbooks, are excellent options for bulk printing. When you need hundreds or even thousands upon thousands of copies without losing quality and while keeping each page as crisp and detailed as possible, bulk printing can save you money while keeping quality at an all-time high.
Photography books and other specialty types of books
Coffee table books, including art and photography books, need to be eye-catching and unique. No matter where your art and photos may take you, rely on our dedicated bulk printing service to make sure your book stands out and looks great, page after page.
Customization options for bulk printing
Bulk printing may surprise you by the sheer number of custom options you can tailor to fit your unique printing needs. Want to print a book in bulk, but need a special size? Looking for different binding options? A bulk printing service can help you better understand your choices and pick the best options for your needs and budget.
Size and format
Most bulk printers will give you standard book sizes including 6" x 9" and 8.5" x 11", however, you can also take advantage of custom book sizes to fit your specific needs (such as a coffee table photography book, a yearbook, a family history book, or a wedding album).
Book binding options
Beyond custom printing choices, you also have a number of book binding options. Perfect binding is the most-common choice for paperbacks, but you can also choose spiral binding, saddle-stitching, and more. You'll choose your binding option based on the durability, cost, and the end goal of the book. Should you have any questions about the type of book binding that's right for your needs, please feel free to reach out to our bulk printing experts!
Paper choices for bulk printing
One of the biggest advantages of bulk printing is the variety of paper choices. For example, you can choose glossy paper for an art-heavy or photo-heavy book, or choose uncoated stock for books that are text-heavy, like a novel or manual.
Cover finishes
Last but not least, cover finishes, including matte, gloss, UV coating, foil stamping, embossing, and debossing can be added to make your cover stand out and look its best, whether you need hundreds of copies or hundreds of thousands.
