How much does it cost to produce a life book?

The total costs depend on the number of pages, the printing volume, the style and the shipping method. You can calculate the total amount by using the price calculator. You can produce from one copy and there is no maximum. The higher the printing volume, the higher the volume discount.

What is the shipping time for a life book?

The shipping time depends on the selected style and shipping method. A life book in a stapled style - with a matte or glossy cover - ordered before noon, is shipped the next working day. A glued glossy takes one more business day to produce. Life books with a hardbound cover, ordered before noon, are shipped on the 5th business day.
