A magazine has to feel like a magazine, which is a specific combination of a substantial cover, smooth flowing text pages, rich color reproduction, and a binding that holds a higher page count without falling apart. Readers know the feel of a real publication instantly, so the paper and the print are half of what makes a magazine credible before a word is read. Cheap production reads as amateur no matter how good the writing is.
We print custom magazines in full color with saddle stitch and perfect binding, a heavier cover over quality text stock, and finishes that make photography and design reproduce richly. Consistent color across a long page count, clean trims, and a flat spine for higher counts keep it feeling professional. It suits independent publishers, brand magazines, catalogs, journals, and lookbooks.
No minimum order lets an independent publisher or a brand print a magazine or an issue without a huge run. Tell us the page count and the look you want and we will recommend the binding, stock, and finish that make it feel like a real publication.
It has to feel like a magazine
What binding suits a magazine?
Saddle stitch for lower page counts and perfect binding with a flat spine for higher counts. The page count and the feel you want decide which, and we will recommend based on your issue.
Will color and photography reproduce well?
Yes, we print in full color with consistent reproduction across a long page count on quality stock, so photography and design look rich rather than flat.
Can I get a heavier cover?
Yes, a heavier cover over quality text stock is standard for magazines, which is part of what makes a publication feel real in the hand.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum, so an independent publisher or brand can print a magazine or an issue without a huge run.
