Book Printing in Johannesburg

Softcover book printing for Johannesburg authors, churches and businesses, from 100 copies with proof approval before production.

Your print run should suit the people who will receive your book. A novel sold at an author event, a memoir shared with family and a workbook used in training each need different paper and layout decisions. Creative Books SA helps you settle those details before printing begins.

Planning your project

If you have a launch date, include it in your enquiry so we can confirm a workable schedule. Editing and design are separate from print production and need to be completed before the final proof is approved.

Common questions

Can I print a book without buying an editing package?+

Yes. You can order printing only if you supply suitable print-ready files. Editing, typesetting and cover design can be quoted separately if needed.

Can you deliver to a Johannesburg event venue?+

Tell us the venue, recipient and event date when requesting a quote. Delivery arrangements and timing must be confirmed before you rely on them for an event.

What files should I send for a printing quote?+

Send the interior PDF and a full cover PDF with front, spine and back, plus your size, page count, quantity and colour requirements. If the files need preparation, that work is quoted separately.

Can I check a sample before a bulk order?+

A separate proof costs R800 and is credited against the bulk order. Allow seven working days for the sample, plus delivery where needed. A complimentary proof is available after the bulk order is confirmed and the deposit paid.
