Custom Publishing Services
Custom publishing is for books that don't fit a standard package: a special size or paper, an illustrated or full-colour book, or a project where editing, design and printing need to be planned together. Standard publishing often forces your vision into predefined boxes; a custom project gives you control over every detail, from the first conversation to the final bound volume. Each project is quoted after we've discussed what you need.
Experience World-Class PaperCraft Quality
Every custom project begins with a conversation and ends with a book that reflects your original intent — not a template.

Format, paper and finish
A custom book can combine any of the options we print: black and white or full colour, white, yellow, art or matt paper from 70 to 100 GSM, and sizes from A5 novel size, B5 and 6x9 to A4, A3 and 6x6 or 8x8 square books. Bindings are paperback (perfect bound), hardcover and spiral, with saddle stitching quoted on request, and covers can have a shine or matt lamination.
Editing, cover design and ISBN registration can be added as separate services, each priced on our packages page.
When a publishing package is simpler
If your book is a standard ebook, a print-on-demand book or a manuscript that needs editing and proofreading, one of our four publishing packages is quicker to choose: Ebook (Rs 15,000), Print on Demand (Rs 30,000), Professional Publishing (Rs 60,000) or International Publishing (Rs 80,000). Each includes an ISBN, and printing is priced separately. Custom publishing is for everything that doesn't fit one of them.
Questions we're asked.
Publishing a book to your own specification rather than a standard package: you choose the format, paper, binding and finish, and the editing, design, ISBN and printing are planned around the book. PaperCraft Publishers quotes each custom project individually.
