Overview of unit printing prices

Your main advantage of using TamaRe House as your designated printer is that there are no minimum orders required by you; you can print-on-demand any quantity from one to tens or hundreds. This is known as short-run printing. For black & white books with 18-46 pages the print cost per item (PCI) is £1.75. For black & white books with 48-106 pages the PCI is £2.46. For black & white books with 108-1200 pages, PCI starts from £1.27 per item, which includes the cover, binding and trimming; plus 1.10p per page.

These prices are for book trim sizes as listed above. Larger trim sizes from 7.000 x 10.000 in (254 x 178 mm) up to standard A4 start from £1.60 per item, which includes the cover, binding and trimming; plus 1.65p per page. Ask for quote.
