Why are coffee table books so expensive to print?
Coffee table books use more paper (larger trim sizes, heavier stock), require full-color printing on every page, and typically need hardcover binding with premium finishes. These factors make them significantly more expensive per unit than standard books. Printing in China can reduce your cost by 30–40% while maintaining the same quality — this is one of the product categories where the savings are most substantial.
Are there import duties on coffee table books shipped to the US?
Coffee table books imported from China into the US are subject to a 7.5% Section 301 tariff. We include this duty in our DDP quotes so you know your full landed cost upfront. For shipments to Canada, the UK, the EU, and Australia, printed books generally carry zero customs duty, though local VAT or GST may apply depending on the destination.
What are standard coffee table book sizes?
Popular sizes include 8.5″ x 11″ and 11″ x 11″. Custom dimensions are also available.
Common Coffee Table Book Sizes (inch x inch)
| Shape | Sizes |
|---|---|
| Square | 11″ x 11″ 10″ x 10″ 12″ x 12″ |
| Portrait | 9″ x 12″ 8.5″ x 11″ (Letter Size) 5.5″ x 8.5″ (Digest Size) |
| Landscape | 12″ x 9″ 11″ x 8.5″ (Letter Size) 8.5″ x 5.5″ (Digest Size) |
Can I get a lay-flat binding for my coffee table book?
Yes. Our sewn hardcover binding allows pages to lie nearly flat, which is ideal for double-page spreads. For a completely flat opening, we can also produce section-sewn lay-flat binding. This is particularly popular for photography books and portfolios where full-bleed images span across two pages.
Can I print a photo-based coffee table book?
Absolutely! We offer custom coffee table photo book printing to showcase your images in vivid detail and with professional quality. Our team can help you select the best materials and finishes to bring your photography to life on each page.
Do you print coffee table books for Kickstarter campaigns?
Yes. We regularly print coffee table books for Kickstarter and crowdfunding projects. We support multiple editions (e.g., standard vs. deluxe with cloth cover and slipcase), custom packaging, and worldwide split shipping to individual backers or fulfillment centers.
Do you provide a document checking service?
Yes, free of charge. Our team ensures your files are print-ready.
What file formats are needed?
High-resolution PDFs in CMYK color mode with 3 mm bleed.
Can I get a sample before full production?
Yes. We offer both digital and physical proofs. Contact us or visit our Proof Support Page.
