Short Run Book Manufacturing

Digital production is a powerful tool for reducing the cost of your traditionally printed books. Greyden Press has the ability to take your source material, process it into a single integrated electronic file and produce “offset quality” soft cover or hard cover books. Our specialty is creating outstanding quality photos in a digital production environment.

We can reduce your long-term inventory cost utilizing our “on demand” book production model. Reorder books, as you need them, at a unit cost that does not exceed that of the initial print run. Carry a 30-90 day inventory, not three or four years. Review your shipping cost, inventory storage charges, and inventory write-offs, and think about reducing those costs by 75% to 85%. Increase your sales; maintain profit margins while at the same time reducing your production budget.

Sometimes the little things can also make a big difference. Review your budget for single article or chapter reprints and think about reducing it by 40% to 50% while reducing the production cycle to 7-10 days. An excellent opportunity to reduce cost and increase customer satisfaction.

Our short run book manufacturing process features the following services:

• Electronic application of page numbers, headers, footers, copyright lines, or specialty formatting.
  
• Development of a high quality electronic file of a complete document including photos and color.
  
• Automated creation of front matter (including table of contents), author and subject indexes.
  
• Cost effective spot color pages.
  
• Hard cover, perfect, saddle stitch, coil, and hot tape binding.
  
• Ability to package and ship product anywhere in the world.
  
• A complete electronic file of your publication as a by-product of production.

Don’t forget your Abstract books.
The same set of sources material combined with all of our digital production skills and tools can also cost effectively pull and format the material needed for your conference abstract books.

Bring your archives back to life.
Our digital production process can turn “out of print” books or archive material into new revenue dollars.
