CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

As all of our customers will be aware, the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic is likely to cause disruption to many services. Although everyone at Dandy is currently fit and well, restrictions that have been imposed, both voluntary and compulsory, have already begun to affect our supply chains. This is particularly true for our many overseas customers, where border and transport restrictions can be imposed at little notice. We will always try to keep you informed of any problems that may affect your order, but we ask for your understanding at this difficult time. If you have any questions, then please email us at enquiries@dandybooksellers.com, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Electronic products such as e-books and online subscriptions should be largely unaffected, but please allow us a little longer time than usual to respond.

With a license to reproduce Crown copyright material Dandy Booksellers have been providing print on demand services to their clients for a number of years.

Print on demand (POD) can be the perfect solution.

Main advantages:

Reduces waste, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution
Removes storage costs
Guarantee permanent availability.

Perfect Binding and Lamination

Perfect binding is where a flexible adhesive attaches a paper cover to the spine of the assembled pages. Paperback novels are perhaps the most well known examples of this kind of glued perfect binding.

With our own in-house binding machinery we can bind digitally printed documents with either hardback or paperback covers.

Lamination applies a thin protective polymer film to your covers. It protects the product, enhances the appearance and extends its life.

Dandy Booksellers can offer lamination on covers up to A4 in size.

Advantages of digital printing

Digital print makes it possible to produce even lower quantities at affordable prices and it’s also a breeze to update existing documents or print new versions whenever you need them.

Designed to cope with your toughest schedules, our printers can print at a super-quick 210 pages per minute and are complimented with a range of finishing options to suit your needs.

Case Studies

Case Study 1:
A Local company wanted manuals printed for a course they were running. They emailed us a copy and within the hour we printed the contents and bound them with personalised covers which each had the attendees name on the front. It was a small touch which the client was very happy with.

Case Study 2:
Dandy offer a print on demand service for all Crown Copyright Material. When the government withdrew public library subsidy on printed legislation Dandy continue to save libraries money by printing these on demand at 50% of the publisher�s price. We offer a print on demand service which extends to Scottish and UK Statutory Instruments and Acts of Parliament.
