Short-run printing applications don’t just apply to books. Short run printing can be applied to other applications such as catalogs, posters and packages, children’s books, text books and municipalities.

Self publishing has meant that there is now a huge demand for short run printing. With the Country Press, self publishers and publishers now have access to the kind of print quality that only comes from the equipment of large scale commercial printers.

Short run printing is best for publishers who have a small distribution channel. Short run printing means that publishing houses can order just a dozen copies. If those books sell well, order more.  A short run book printer can make the world of difference to publishing companies, because being able to order a short run book can mean the difference between printing and not printing the book. When a publisher can order less than a thousand units, publishing companies save a huge amount of money.

Our new line of Rolland Opaque is now 50% recycled content. That means it contains fibre that has been recuperated entirely from paper used by consumers through recycling programs.

It has been certified by Ecologo and is processed Chlorine Free using gas produced from the decomposition of waste in a landfill.  Biogas, a sustainable and local energy, is transported to the mill by pipeline and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

We now stock this paper in 50, 60 pound white and natural.

A “self-publisher” is an individual who is engaged in the publishing of their own printed material. Recently there has been an increase in authors who want to self publish. This increase in self publishing has meant that there is now a huge demand for short run printing. This means that self publishers need to have access to the kind of print quality that only comes from the equipment of large scale commercial printers.

Rather than using commercial publishing companies, short run book printers are a great option since you are able to order any amount, from 11 to 5000. Commercial printers who do short runs allow the self publisher to save a huge amount of money. This is often the difference between publishing and not publishing for many authors from trade books to manuals, and handbooks to text books.

There are a number of advantages for self publishers who work with a commercial short run book printing company because of the shipping, support services and turnaround time they can offer. Contact Country Press, Inc., we can support the self publisher through the printing and the proofing of their book.
