What makes our Magazines premium?
Size
We print magazines in standard sizes such as A4 and A5, as well as custom sizes depending on your design and intended use.
Page Count
We can produce magazines with a wide range of page counts. The number of pages will influence the most suitable binding method and overall production approach.
Paper / Stock
A range of paper types are available to suit different styles. Gloss and silk papers are ideal for image-heavy magazines, while uncoated stocks offer a more natural, editorial feel. Heavier stocks can be used for covers to add durability and presence.
Cover Options
Covers are typically printed on thicker material than the inner pages for added strength. Laminations such as matt or gloss can be applied for protection and appearance, with additional finishes available if required.
Binding
We offer multiple binding options depending on your page count and budget. Saddle stitching is commonly used for lower page counts, while perfect binding is suited to thicker, more substantial magazines.
Finish / Coating
Finishing options can enhance both the look and durability of your magazine. Matt finishes provide a more subtle appearance, while gloss finishes increase vibrancy. Specialist finishes are available on request.
Print Method
We use digital printing for shorter runs and quicker turnaround, and litho printing for larger quantities where consistent colour and high-quality reproduction are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions About Magazine Printing
What’s the difference between saddle-stitched and perfect bound?
Saddle-stitched magazines are stapled through the spine, ideal for shorter publications. Perfect bound magazines feature a glued spine, providing a more polished, book-like finish—perfect for longer or premium content.
Can I order a small number of magazines?
Yes, absolutely. We specialize in short-run magazine printing, meaning you can order as few as 5 copies or as many as 5,000+, depending on your needs.
Can the spine include printed text?
Yes, absolutely. If you opt for perfect binding and your magazine is sufficiently thick, we can indeed print text on the spine. We’ll provide precise advice on sizing once your final page count is confirmed.
Do you check artwork before print?
Yes, we thoroughly check all files before printing. Subsequently, we will send you a proof for your approval. If anything appears incorrect or “off,” we will promptly flag it and suggest a fix.
Can I use different papers for the cover and inner pages?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our customers choose a thicker, laminated cover for enhanced durability and visual impact, while simultaneously opting for lighter paper for the inner pages. This approach effectively balances both cost and overall impact.
Do you offer magazine design support?
Yes, we certainly do. Our in-house designers are available to assist with various aspects, including layout, file setup, and even full magazine design, should you require it.
