How We Help

Gipping Press Ltd are proud to have been involved in book printing and distribution across the UK for nearly forty years. We can advise on production options, register ISBN (if required), design, print, finish and delivery your books anywhere in the UK. We offer a comprehensive range of book printing help.

Like some extra book printing help?

You don’t have to do this on your own. We also run regular free workshops about self-publishing in and around Mid Suffolk – so why not come and meet others who are involved in projects like yours, while you learn more about what to do and how to do it?

And to be sure of getting the latest news – about workshops, and other resources that could help you – don’t’ forget to sign up for our regular newsletter.

How it works

Our process is very straightforward, and designed to offer book printing help every step of the way. When you get in touch we’ll talk about what you want to do with your book, and how you would it like to be presented. If you don’t already have a suitable computer file to send us, we’ll advise you on how to prepare one – or help you create it, for an additional charge. We can also advise you on design and layout (for your cover, for example), or again do the work for you at an additional charge in our fully-equipped design studio. When you are happy that everything is as you want it, we’ll make a proof copy of your book for your final approval. Once we have that, we will print and finish your final copies.

Design & Layout

Gipping Press have many helpful staff here who are used to producing books of all shapes and sizes. We also employ two designers, thus enabling us to produce books from a range of files and photos supplied – or even hard copy. Our team can also type manuscripts and scan photographs.

Our feedback tells us that many people would like to create their own book but are nervous about how difficult or expensive it would be to achieve. We take all that pain away. If you have a story then let us help you tell it. We can advise on and help you to plan, then layout and proof before printing.

Finally we are available here every working day from 7:30am to 5:00pm so please contact us today.

If we can help you call Danny or Jonathan on 01449 721599
