Which binding suits your book?

Every book asks for a different body, and choosing it well is part of the craft:

  1. Novels, poetry, long-form reading: softcover (paperback). Glued with notch binding when the layout allows generous inner margins, or section-sewn when you want more durability and better opening.
  2. Collector, institutional or commemorative works: hardcover — the rigid, strong body of books meant to be kept and gifted.
  3. Pieces that live wide open — planners, coloring books, workbooks: section sewing or double-O wire binding, which let the piece be handled fully open.

The full craft — bindings, interior and cover papers, and the digital-versus-offset threshold — lives in our editorial printing guide. And if you would rather skip the theory: tell your advisor about your project and they will recommend the right body for your work.

Benefits of printed books:

  1. Never run out of battery! Printed books need no electricity, so forget about running out of battery at the most exciting moment of your reading.
  2. Are you a lover of the senses? Printed books let you feel the texture of the paper, the smell of new pages and the sensation of being immersed in a story that makes your heart race.
  3. If you struggle to concentrate, this is the format for you! Several studies have shown that reading on paper is better for concentration and information retention, so get ready to dive into a world of adventures without distractions!
  4. Give your creativity free rein! With printed books, you can choose everything from the type of paper to the cover and the finishes to make sure the book reflects your unique style and personality.
  5. Want to stand out from the crowd? Printing a book is a way to show that you are a serious person dedicated to your work, and this can give you an edge over the competition! Besides, having a printed book is a way to ensure your work is remembered and treasured for generations.

Frequently asked questions

Do you print books in full color and in black and white?

Yes. We deliver editorial-quality printing in full color or black and white, whichever best reflects the essence of your work.

Can I print just a few copies of my book?

Yes. For short runs — below roughly 50 to 80 units — your book is produced in digital printing, keeping the total investment low; for larger quantities it moves to offset lithography, where the cost per copy drops as the run grows. One honest note: complex formats such as hardcover do not always allow one or very few units — your advisor will confirm for your case.

How long will it take to print my book?

The average for mid-size runs is 10 to 15 business days, varying with page count, number of copies and the production load of the moment — which is why the deadline is agreed with your advisor before sending to production. If you have a hard date (a launch, a book fair), mention it during the consultation: a rush option can always be evaluated within our capacity.

Can you help me with the ISBN and barcode for my book?

Yes. As editorial printing specialists, if your book does not yet have its ISBN or barcode, we help you obtain them — one less step between you and your published work.

What details do I need to define to get a quote for my book?

Six details: the quantity, the number of inks, the number of pages, the paper, the size of the book open and closed in centimeters, and any special finishes. If you are not sure about everything yet, tell us about your project and an advisor will guide you.

Can you advise me on my editorial project?

Yes. At Rocco we offer the experience and rigor that editorial services demand, and we are your ally in the project of sharing your production with the world. If you already have the design, send it in its original format (Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw) or as a high-resolution PDF or JPG; if not, we can create a design for you.

How long does it take you to reply to a quote?

We usually send the response within 24 hours or even less; on very busy days it may take around 48 hours. Your request will be answered promptly, depending on its complexity and the items that need to be included.

Do you ship outside of Medellín?

Yes, we produce and dispatch nationwide, right to the door of your home or business. Orders shipped outside of Medellín are paid in full before shipping and the material is verified with photographs.
