HOW MANY?
Order 1, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 or 500 identical copies.
Need more than 500? Excellent. Your tiny publication is becoming a large situation. Contact us for a custom quote.
GOOD TO KNOW
Mini Zines are printed without full bleed, so your pages will have a small white border around the outside edge.
Need colour or artwork to run right to the edge? We can add full-bleed trimming for an additional cutting fee. Contact us before ordering and we’ll help you work out the details.
The front and back covers are printed on the same premium 28 lb paper as the interior pages.
