In short: Printseoul covers the print-production part of publishing: file review, offset printing, binding and finishing, proofing, export packing, and delivery to your door. Editing, design, ISBNs, and distribution stay with you or your other partners.

What we handle

  • File review: your print-ready PDFs are checked before production.
  • Proofing: a free PDF E-Proof on every order, with a physical digital proof available.
  • Printing: offset production on a choice of gloss, matte, uncoated, and specialty papers.
  • Binding: perfect binding, saddle stitching, hardcover, and Wire-O.
  • Finishing: matte or gloss lamination, foil, spot UV, embossing, die-cutting, and more.
  • Packing and freight: export packing and delivery by air, ocean, or both, to one address or many.

What stays with you

Editorial work, cover and interior design, ISBNs and barcodes, metadata, sales, and distribution are outside what Printseoul does. Bring print-ready PDFs (300 dpi, fonts embedded, 0.125 inch bleed) and we manufacture the books. If you are preparing files, start with the Quick Guide for Art Files.

Who this suits

  • Independent publishers and small presses ordering from 100 copies.
  • Imprints and trade publishers printing larger runs overseas.
  • Magazine and catalog teams with a regular issue schedule.
  • Authors and organizations that publish their own books and want an offset run.

Planning the schedule

Production usually takes about 5 business days for a standard run, plus air freight of about 1 to 2 weeks or ocean freight of about 35 days. Work backward from your on-sale date with the overseas printing timeline. Build your exact spec in the instant quote tool to see line-item pricing and air or ocean freight before you order.
