FAQs
Many print shops use 80g/m² paper as their standard for printing, but BachelorPrint uses 100g/m² Colour Copy premium paper for printing. Which paper is the best for you, depends on whether you’re printing double-sided, as well as your personal preferences. If you’re printing double-sided, or you simply would like tougher paper, you have the option to upgrade to 120g/m² paper.
The time for printing and binding depends on the page count of your academic work, which binding you choose and how many copies you need. It takes two minutes to print 100 pages , but then they need to be bound. Leather binding and softcover binding take ten minutes, whereas the other bindings take around five minutes. Embossing (only for leather binding) then takes a further five to ten minutes. These times can be doubled or tripled if you’re ordering multiple copies.
Note: These estimates don’t include waiting times in the queue. Be sure you submit your work for printing and binding on time in the online print shop and you can avoid waiting around at print shops!
Assuming that you’re using 27 lb paper for printing, all of the bindings can fit a maximum of 150-200 pages. The leather binding can fit 156-235 pages with 32 lb paper, which is more than the other bindings can fit. If your thesis has a high page count of 300 pages for example, the best idea would be to choose leather binding with 32 lb paper and double-sided printing. For a thesis, you can’t go wrong with leather binding- it’s elegant and classy so you’re guaranteed to make a great first impression.
The softcover binding can be used for all pieces of academic work ranging from a bachelor’s thesis to a dissertation. However, due to the customization possibilities, it’s recommended for students in subjects such as photography or art. All you need to do is upload the softcover design as a PDF when placing your order.
The printing costs are straightforward and there are no hidden fees when using the online print shop. To save money, many students will order different types of bindings. Perhaps a copy with leather binding and embossing to hand in, and two copies with thermal binding for yourself and your parents for example.
