FAQ

Each side of a sheet counts as one page, so a book’s cover alone includes 4 pages: front cover, inside front cover, inside back cover, and back cover. 

Binding-Specific Page Counts:

  • Saddle Stitch: Requires page counts divisible by 4.
  • Perfect Binding & Wire-O: Requires page counts divisible by 2.

The binding method you choose will influence the page count range:

  • Saddle Stitching: Works best for projects between 8 and 60 pages, with page counts in multiples of 4.
  • Perfect Binding: Suitable for 32 pages + cover and up, with page counts in multiples of 2.
  • Spiral or Wire-O Binding: This option is flexible and can handle page counts from just a few pages up to 520 on thinner stock, with page counts in multiples of 2.

Perfect bound books are not designed to lay flat when opened. Forcing them to do so can damage the spine and weaken the glue holding the pages together. To maintain the book’s quality and durability, avoid pressing it down.

Pricing reflects the cost of one edition only per book. If you need additional editions or multiple covers, this requires a custom quote.

The listed pricing is for portrait orientation soft cover books only. If you’re interested in hardcover or landscape formats, please request a custom quote

Coated paper has a smooth finish that visually sharpens images and enhances color. The coating can be glossy or semi-gloss, depending on the desired effect, but both options contribute to a polished, professional look. 

Uncoated paper has a natural, porous surface. It’s perfect for projects where readability and a tactile feel are priorities. It’s also a practical option for items that need to be written on, like letterheads or notepads. 

If your project includes color anywhere – even a single image or logo – it’s a 4-color (4C) job. Our standard pricing is designed for 4C printing, providing vibrant, professional results fast.

Single-color (one-ink) printing is available by custom quote and may offer some cost savings, but 4C remains the most common option. If you’re unsure, we are happy to talk with you to determine the best options for your unique printing needs.

Once PDF proofs are approved, production can take approximately 3 days for saddle stitched publications and roughly 3-5 days for perfect bound, plus shipping. Shipping times vary from next-day delivery to a few days, depending on your location relative to our NYC print house.

If you need a precise timeline, send us your project details, and we’ll set up a schedule that works for you. 

Before submitting your file, double-check that it’s set up correctly to prevent any prepress delays:

  • Bright, high-resolution images (300 dpi)
  • Files exported with crop marks and 1/8” bleed all around
  • Files exported as single pages within one PDF

Yes! We’ll cover the cost to ship your order to a single location via ground delivery. If you need expedited shipping or drop shipping to multiple locations, additional fees will apply. 

If you’re still unsure about any details or need guidance on your options, contact us here. We’re here to make the process smooth, simple, and tailored to your needs.

Digital vs. Offset Printing for Magazines

Thomas Group provides both digital and offset printing, tailored to your magazine’s volume and timeline requirements. Offset printing is optimal for larger print orders, offering cost efficiency as the quantity increases. It’s an excellent choice for bulk magazine orders, but we also provide comparison quotes to help you decide.

Digital printing excels in shorter turnaround times and is ideal for smaller print runs or short-run magazine printing. It allows for the inclusion of variable data, like custom addresses or names, making each copy unique.

Digital printing is also advantageous for updating and customizing your magazines as needed, offering the flexibility to print any quantity cost-effectively.
