For short-run productions.

Technology, expertise and a personal approach.

Digital book productions
on thin paper

At Pretore commitment, innovation and craftsmanship are our core values. We specialize in the digital printing of high-quality books and brochures, with a focus on high-quality and flexibility. Pretore’s strength lies in printing digital files on thin paper and, on normal paper. This is a technically complex process that requires specific knowledge and an innovative production environment. Our Research & Development department works closely with our suppliers to continuously help develop new solutions. One of the biggest breakthroughs is the processing of thin paper with the latest inkjet technology in combination with finishing equipment.

Pretore: Specialist in customised production

Pretore produces a wide range of books and publications: Bibles, law books, schoolbooks, study editions and general books. Our production is fully equipped for short-run printing, ideal for smaller quantities, fast turnaround times and minimal inventory. This approach helps prevent content from becoming outdated and reduces logistical and storage costs.
Our advanced automation makes integration with customer systems easy. Through API connections and customer portals, we provide direct control over production, along with real-time insight into status, planning and shipping. This ensures maximum transparency and control throughout the entire process.

Dedicated professionals with technical insight

Every production at Pretore starts with craftsmanship. Our team consists of specialists, from developers and prepress experts to print technicians and finishing professionals, who use their knowledge and experience to create the best possible products.
They not only contribute ideas about the technical implementation, but also understand the requirements and purpose of your publication. With precision and dedication, they ensure a seamless translation of digital files into a physical, high-quality final product.
Whether it’s concerns paper selection, finishing, or the right binding method, our people combine technology with craftsmanship, making a difference in every book or brochure. Always with an eye on quality, efficiency and a competitive total cost.
