With over 12.5 million printed booklets sold in the past year alone across saddle stitched, perfect bound, wiro-bound, and hardback options, booklets are one of the bestsellers in Tradeprint’s print catalogue. They are available to order online but for anything that is not on the website our team can support you with bespoke quotations to help with more complex specification or higher run lengths.

At Tradeprint, customer trust is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’re investing heavily in our production capabilities—expanding capacity, accelerating turnaround times, and strengthening resilience to deliver for our customers today and in the future. Round the Clock Production

To keep pace with growing demand, Tradeprint has introduced 24/7 production shifts—boosting capacity, accelerating turnaround, and ensuring every job is delivered on time, no matter the size or scale. Customers can now count on greater reliability and confidence with every order.

Investments

Over the past 18 months, Tradeprint has doubled its Canon press capacity – delivering greater reliability, sharper colour consistency, and built-in contingency to support customers at scale. The installation of a state-of-the-art industrial perfect binder with trimmer has further raised the bar, providing higher precision, improved efficiency, and enhanced durability. The result: stronger, longer-lasting books with a premium finish, whether for small runs or high-volume orders.

Another milestone investment is a reel-fed high-speed inkjet, fully integrated with finishing. This powerhouse setup combines speed, flexibility, and high-definition print quality – helping Tradeprint produce more, faster, without compromising on detail.

Tradeprint’s latest stitch-liners introduce advanced automation and accuracy to booklet-making – delivering faster production, flawless finishing, and enhanced quality control on every job. Alongside this, expanded folding capabilities unlock more creative options for customers, while new cutting tables boost throughput in Large Format and ensure tighter tolerances, raising the standard of precision across the board.
