Firstly, to access the quote tool you can click on either of these links from our home page or access the quote tool directly on this link here
The quote tool will show all of our available printing options and stocks. Unfortunately we do not offer anything outside of those displayed on the quote tool, we do not offer additional stocks, foil colours etc.
We have our own print facility in the UK, and work with print partners around the globe. All of the options on the quote tool can be produced and shipped from our UK facility. Our print partners are limited in the options they have available, as you navigate through the quote tool, in the top-left corner you will see what printers can manufacture the book based on the specs selected. [1] If you have selected something that is not possible for one of our printers to produce, you will see the flag remove from this area. At each step you would need to click on the selection so there is a green selection box around it, this should then load the next step. [2].
We have some standard trim sizes that are used commonly across the industry and other print providers such as KDP. We also offer the option of a 'Custom Size' that would allow you to manually input sizes of the book you wish if they fall outside our standard trim sizes shown.
There are limits to our sizing which again, are all indicated by the portal. If you put a book that is too large or too small for us to produce, you will see an error banner pop up indicating the maximum book size / page count that we can produce based on the specifications selected.
Once you have selected all of the options of your book, you will then be taken to the summary page. From this page you can generate all the templates suitable for your book. [1].
You would then be presented with all of the production costs of the books, but if you wish to get a full breakdown of costs you can input the country, quantity and area code here. [2].
All of the associated shipping services that are available will be presented here [3]. Showing the full print and shipping costs that you would be charged for printing.
Once pressing the 'Get A Quote' button you may be presented with two fulfilment options. An example below of an order going to a US destination would be able to get fulfilled from our UK facility, and also our US print facility with the associated shipping rates. So you would see prices and shipping services populated for production and shipping from either of those facilities.
In some instances where you have selected options that only our UK print facility can produce, it may look something like the below. This is an order for a bespoke item with sprayed edges. You will see that 'Bookvault US' indicates it can not deliver to your location, this simply indicates the bespoke options can not be made and shipped from the US facility, but we can still print and ship this from our UK facility.
