Book Printing Singapore
For catalogues, lookbooks, annual reports and zines — book printing in Singapore.
Book printing for catalogues, lookbooks, annual reports and zines — bound to be picked up, flipped through and kept, not opened once and forgotten. Saddle-stitch or perfect-bound, digital or offset, with the price updating live as you spec it.

Everything worth knowing,
before you order book printing in Singapore.
A printed book is judged in the first three seconds — the weight in the hand, the give of the spine, the feel of a page between your fingers. Four production choices decide those seconds: print method, binding, paper weight and cover finish. Get each one right and the book lands with the weight your content deserves.
Digital or offset — the run size decides.
Digital is the short-run, fast route — no plates, ready the next working day, priced to the exact count from a single copy up to 100 books. Reach for it on proofs, small catalogue runs, sample lookbooks and anything you need in hand tomorrow.
Offset takes over from about 50 books up to 5,000: plate cost spreads across the run, the per-book price drops, and colour holds dead-steady from the first copy to the last. It runs in roughly seven working days — plan for it on annual reports, retail catalogues and any volume print. The method switch at the top of the calculator flips between the two.
Saddle stitch or perfect bound — the page count decides.
Saddle stitch folds the sheets and staples them through the spine — flat, light, economical, and the right call up to about 48 pages (up to 68 on offset). It’s what you expect from a zine, a slim catalogue or an event programme.
Perfect binding glues the pages into a square, printable spine — the bookshop look. It handles thicker counts (up to 96 pages digital, 200 on offset) and gives you a spine to print a title on. Choose it for annual reports, thick catalogues and anything that should read as a proper book.
Paper gsm — the weight that decides how the book feels.
128gsm Art Paper is the everyday inner — light, takes colour cleanly, keeps a thick book from getting heavy. 157gsm Art Paper steps up the hand-feel, worth it when photos carry the book and you want pages that don’t show through.
Covers go heavier. 250/300gsm Art Card (digital) or 260/310gsm Art Card (offset) give a cover that holds its shape and survives handling; self-cover (offset saddle) keeps cover and inner on the same stock for a softer, uniform feel.
Cover and finish — where the book gets judged.
The cover is judged before a page turns. Matt lamination lays a soft, non-glare film — colours read calm and premium. Gloss lamination does the opposite: high sheen, deep colour, photos that pop. Pick by the look you want, not the budget — the choice doesn’t change the price.
On perfect-bound offset runs you can add Matt + Spot UV — a matt cover with selected areas (a logo, a title) raised in high-gloss varnish, so they catch the light against the matt around them. Lamination is available on card covers; self-cover and plain-paper covers go unlaminated.
