Planning 5,000, 10,000, 25,000 or 50,000+ textbooks?

For large educational-book projects, the useful question is not only “what is the price per book?” The production route depends on the total quantity, number of titles, page count, colour requirement, paper, binding, cover finish, packing plan and delivery deadline. Send the complete specification so the project can be costed as a production run.

Provide the final page count for each title. Different titles can be quoted separately or as one coordinated programme.

Text printing

Black-and-white, full-colour or mixed-colour requirements can be planned according to the content and quantity.

Paper selection

Text and cover stocks should suit readability, handling, writing requirements, durability, weight and the project budget.

Binding

Perfect binding, PUR, saddle stitching, wire/spiral or case binding can be considered depending on pagination and use.

Cover finishing

Matt or gloss lamination and other suitable finishes can protect covers and improve presentation for repeated learner use.

Multi-title procurement

A 25,000-copy project may contain several different textbooks.

Large textbook orders are often split across titles, grades, subjects, languages or editions. Send the quantity required for every version so production, proofing, packing and delivery can be planned around the complete requirement.

For example, an RFQ may contain 8,000 mathematics books, 6,000 science books, 5,000 language books and 6,000 workbooks rather than one single 25,000-copy title.

Can one order contain several textbook titles?

Yes. Provide the specification and quantity for every title, edition, language or grade so version control, production and packing can be planned correctly.

Can textbooks be delivered to multiple schools or regions?

Multi-destination requirements can be quoted when you provide the quantity allocation by destination and the required delivery plan.

Can you produce workbooks and exercise books with the textbooks?

Yes. Textbook programmes can be coordinated alongside workbooks, exercise books, learner guides, booklets and other educational print requirements.
