Print on demand renewed! Publishing without stock is now more affordable

We have good news! Our rates for Single Copy Print on Demand have been reduced by an average of 20%. This makes publishing without stock even more attractive — especially for your long-tail or niche titles. With Single Copy Print on Demand, we only produce your book once it has been ordered: an efficient and sustainable solution.

Lower rates, 48-hour delivery time

We are able to lower our rates by extending the delivery time from 24 hours to 48 hours. This means your customer will wait a little longer, but you benefit from a significant cost reduction. Publishers indicate that this new option allows them to keep their titles available more effectively and sell them at the right price. For example: for a 200-page paperback, publishing without stock becomes financially attractive at 40 copies sold per year (previously 20 copies).

Your benefits

  • A longer lifecycle for your titles.
  • A more attractive price for consumers.
  • A healthy margin on titles with limited sales.
  • Publishing without stock becomes feasible (and frees you from storage costs, inventory risks, and potential disposal costs).
