Hardcover Book Printing for Australian Businesses
Hardcover books remain the preferred format when durability, presentation, and long-term use matter. Forest Print provides custom hardcover book printing for Australian businesses, publishers, institutions, and creative professionals who require dependable construction and controlled production standards.
We operate our own hardcover book manufacturing facility in China, allowing direct oversight of case binding, board materials, covering processes, and finishing quality. This is combined with a local Australian sales and project management team that works with clients during local business hours, reviewing specifications, files, and schedules.
For many Australian organisations, this model delivers a practical balance: more competitive pricing than most local printers, without the communication gaps or uncertainty often associated with offshore factories.

Why Choose Sustainable Custom Printed Hardcover Books？
Sustainability in hardcover book printing is best approached through responsible specification, not assumptions. Forest Print offers FSC-certified and responsibly sourced paper options for both text pages and endpapers, subject to availability and project requirements.
Because we manage production directly, we minimise waste caused by incorrect binding specifications, unsuitable materials, or miscommunication between suppliers. We also help clients avoid unnecessary finishes or overbuilt structures where simpler, durable solutions are more appropriate.
A well-made hardcover book is one that lasts—reducing the need for reprints and replacements over time.
Designed for Australian Publishers & Businesses
From self-published titles to large-scale commercial printing, our custom book printing services are designed to support Australian publishers, businesses, and creators with fully customisable solutions.
