Sample Printing Rates as of January 2022

I've compiled a shortlist of rates from various trusted printers for comparison. These are all sample rates based on a square children's book that is 8.5" square with 32 pages, self-ended, on 98pt coverboard and 100lb paper.

These rates are for COMPARISON ONLY. Based on these rates, you can decide which country and printer you'd like to go with, and then I can request an accurate quote for your book.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Larger books and special treatments will increase the rates, and we can expect the rates to increase naturally over time. We are also experiencing a major paper shortage, which is rapidly causing rate increases and production delays.
• These rates include shipping door-to-door, all except for the printer in the US. I don't think domestic shipping is included here. Of course, no customs clrearance needed for the US printer.
• These rates do not include customs clearance, which would be your responsibility. I recommend finding a customs agent to help you with that process. Although there are DIY services like EezyImport that you can use. You can expect to spend a few hundred dollars for this process.
