Schoolbook printing
Professional printing for every educational institution
Durable educational books
At Pretore, we understand that a high-quality schoolbook must meet strict requirements. It should not only be clear and well-structured for the student, but also physically durable enough for daily classroom use.
Therefore, we provide the production of high-quality educational books for primary, secondary, and higher education. In addition, we cater to commercial training providers.
Flexible printing solutions
No two educational projects are the same. Because of this, we offer smart solutions that align with modern teaching practices.
Do you need a specific print run for a small pilot or a niche subject? Thanks to short-run printing, we produce exactly what you need. Consequently, you avoid unnecessary inventory costs. Furthermore, we simplify the distribution process by handling production based on school, class, or student level.
Suitable for every type of material
Whether you need a one-off course module or a complete method for an entire school year, we ensure a razor-sharp result. Specifically, we print:
- Textbooks: Optimal focus through a calm and clear print image.
- Workbooks: Specially selected paper that is excellent for writing on.
- Manuals & instructions: Durable reference works that are comfortable to handle.
- Teacher manuals: Robustly finished for intensive use.
Freedom in format and finishing
Every subject requires a different presentation. Therefore, at Pretore, you choose the specifications that suit your project:
- Binding: Choose a flexible softcover or a sturdy hardcover. Our perfect binding and sewn binding guarantee a book that always stays open properly.
- Protection: Opt for a matte or glossy laminate on the cover. This helps to prevent wear and tear and makes the books scratch-resistant.
- Printing: We offer everything from functional black-and-white to full-color for books with many images and diagrams.
On-demand production
Pretore produces books in client-specific print runs. For schools and educational publishers, we create flexible textbooks and workbooks, fully tailored to school and class levels.
Do you need annual reprints? You can realize them easily without maintaining large stocks. This means maximum flexibility and better control over content. Because of our efficient working method, you save on storage and transport costs. Moreover, you can easily implement author corrections in the meantime.
