Costs of printing a softcover book
The cost of a softcover book depends on several factors. We show you the options and costs below.
Cover
A paperback has a very different look and feel than a hardcover book. A paperback has a flexible cover that is usually made of sulphate board. In addition to sulphate board, we at NPN|Graphius naturally offer other options as well, such as colored paper or board, uncoated paper, or paper with a linen texture.
Paper type
The type of paper and the grammage of the paper vary in price. You can print a softcover book with 90 grams matt paper, but you can also choose special types of paper that are firmer or of a more glossy quality. In addition to the standard types of paper, there are also many other options such as canvas or velvet covers.

Binding style
At NPN|Graphius, softcover books can be bound without stitching: we glue the pages to the spine of the book. This is the most cost-effective binding method. With a stitched book or, for example, an Otabind binding, the book lies flatter when opened. These binding methods also determine the cost of the printed material.
Print run
The number of copies you need also determines the price per copy. The larger the print run, the lower the cost per book. At NPN|Graphius, you can have a book printed starting at 200 copies .
Number of pages (size)
More pages naturally mean higher costs. A bound book needs a spine of about 4 mm to be bound. The number of pages in combination with the grammage determines the thickness of the spine, but you also have to take into account the browsability of the book! For a (softcover) book there is also a maximum number of pages. Approximately 7.5 cm is the thickest that can be machine finished. With 90-gram machine coated paper you can then bind approximately 1750 pages.
