Services
In reintroducing the Biddles brand to the market in 2013 as a book printing management service our aim was to retain the spirit and ethos of the old manufacturing company, best illustrated in our logo strapline making books better business. Biddles first introduced its printing model Publisher's Choice in 2005 and in doing so transformed the short-run book printing market.
Digital printing via Biddles' award-winning Publishers Choice service gives you all the benefits of the print-on-demand model but at prices you can afford and the quality you want. Traditional Choice gives you the freedom to move from short-run digital printing to offset litho printing for titles that really take off and need a bigger print run.
We give publishers the opportunity to print either digital or offset litho highly illustrated colour books. Our high-end book printing service is perfectly suited for run lengths from 20 copies up to around 5000 for both paperbacks and hardbacks in any trim size from 148 x 105mm up to A4 landscape and beyond.
For centuries, publishers have wrestled with one simple but crucial question upon which their success often depends: How many copies should we print? On one hand, the fundamental economics of printing encourage publishers to produce as many copies as possible to achieve better economies of scale and lower per-unit costs.
Offset litho book printing is ideal for longer print runs, typically over 500 copies, when it becomes more economic to print using litho presses than digital book printing. Perhaps you have tested the market with a short run using our digital book printing service and now need to fulfil an order for several thousand copies?

Positive: Professionalism
Where the competition provides a great quality print, Biddles offers 1-3% better quality print so definitely exceeded my expectation. There is no better printing company offering printing for this price. You can save £50-100. In addition to that, Biddles covers shipping costs. Overall there are 3 BIG benefits of printing with Biddles!

Biddles treated me really well and respected my freedom of speech. The quality of the book was excellent in terms of its presentation. This process is smooth and very affordable. I would highly recommend it for professionalism and fairness.
I WOULD advise anyone to use this service for quality alone.

From my first email enquiry to my book being printed, Biddles have offered a fantastic service. Nigel and the team are very patient and offer ongoing support and advise, going above and beyond to assist. The production of the book was straight forward and quick, whilst the quality of the finished product (Finn and the Five Flies) is fantastic. I will always use Biddles in the future and would not hesitate to recommend them.

I recently printed a project with Biddles; I received quotes from 6 different companies and they were the only company able to create cotton wrapped hard-backs with more than one colour and gold leaf embossing, they were also the cheapest quote. Nigel and Theresa were exceptionally helpful during the design phases, both accommodating and patient with me - very professional. The finished product was executed to a very high standard. I am both impressed and proud of the end product. I could not have achieved this without the high level of Biddles' service. Thank you.

Extremely happy with how the books turned out! The print quality is excellent and it was really easy to deal with Nigel and Theresa, who have been responsive, professional and diligent from the first moment I got in touch. Getting a book produced is hard enough as it is but they definitely make the process a LOT easier and more stress-free.

Excellent service! As a first-time, self-publishing author (of "The Boy with the Saucepan Hat") I found Nigel, Theresa, Nicky and team at Biddles most professional, prompt and diligent in every respect! As the author and illustrator, despite knowing Photoshop very well, there were technicalities that I had not encountered before: Nigel and team's attention to detail, knowledge and help was absolutely invaluable. Thank you so much, Biddles! Great price and I would highly recommend anyone to use them!
