Paperback or Hardback: Print My Book, My Way

Choosing the right cover is one of the most important decisions when you print a book. At Pixartprinting, we offer both paperback books and hardback books , each with their own advantages.

Paperbacks are lightweight, cost-effective and ideal for novels, guides, workbooks and promotional publications. Hardbacks, on the other hand, convey a sense of quality and permanence — perfect for coffee table books, portfolios, commemorative editions and any publication where presentation matters. Both options are available with a full range of paper stocks, interior layouts and cover finishes, including gloss and soft-touch lamination, spot UV and more.

Custom Book Printing for Comics, Manga and Zines

Independent creators and small publishers will feel right at home with our custom book printing options for alternative formats. Print your own comics with vibrant, full-colour pages that do justice to your artwork. Bring your characters to life with our dedicated manga printing, available in the traditional formats fans expect. And for self-publishers and artists looking for something more underground and experimental, our zines offer a lo-fi, high-impact format that's as versatile as your imagination. All available from short print runs, so you can produce exactly what you need without overcommitting.

Print a Book Online for the Kitchen

Food and print make a wonderful combination. Whether you're compiling a family recipe collection, producing a professional chef's cookbook or creating a branded culinary guide for your business, our recipe books and cookery books are the ideal solution. Choose from a range of paper types that showcase food photography beautifully, and opt for a durable cover finish to withstand the inevitable splashes that come with life in the kitchen.

Book Printing UK Creatives Love

For image-led publications, quality of reproduction is everything. Our lookbooks are a favourite among fashion brands, designers and agencies looking to showcase collections in print. Our photo books are perfect for photographers, families and anyone wanting to preserve memories in a beautifully printed format. And our yearbooks are a wonderful way for schools, clubs and organisations to capture a year's worth of moments in a keepsake that lasts a lifetime. All printed to the highest standard, with vivid colour reproduction and a finish that reflects the quality of your images.

Creative Custom Book Printing

Artists, illustrators and educators will find exactly what they need in our range of creative publications. Our art books are produced on premium paper stocks that bring colours, textures and details to life, making them ideal for portfolios, exhibition catalogues and artist monographs. Our colouring books are printed on uncoated paper that takes pencil, crayon and felt-tip ink beautifully — perfect for children's titles, mindfulness books and educational resources.

Bookmarks: The Perfect Finishing Touch to Your Print Book Online Order

Don't forget the details. Our custom bookmarks are a simple yet effective way to complement your book and add a professional finishing touch. Available in a range of sizes and finishes, they're ideal for independent authors, publishers and booksellers who want to add a branded element to every copy they distribute.

Single Book Printing: Order from Just One Copy

One of the biggest advantages of choosing Pixartprinting for your online book printing in the UK is our low minimum order quantity. You can print a book from just one single copy — making us the ideal choice for proof copies, personal projects, limited editions and small independent runs. There's no need to commit to large quantities upfront, which means less risk and less waste. Scale up whenever you're ready.
