Create Your Cookbooks
Here you may select the desired type of binding for your calendars.
The ring binding, also called spiral or wire-O bond, is a classic and popular book binding method which is used for presentations in particular. With a metal wire, a twin spiral is formed, which runs through previously perforated sheets of paper. This is a cheap but also stable binding type. Depending on the book thickness or number of sheets, different spiral diameters are used. This enables the best possible turning over of your printed information.
Size is measured in inches (except for Banners).
Your artwork must be submitted in this size plus bleed. For more information please go to Bleed & Safe Area.
If your product includes folding, this is the size before folding.
Catalogs/Magazines and Calendars are not considered folded products. Their size refers to one page.
For catalogs and saddle stitched calendars, pages are available in multiples of 4 because sheets are folded over and bound in the middle, resulting in 4 pages per sheet.
For wire-o calendars, 13 or 14 pages are available.
One way or another, please always set up your print files as single pages and send them in multi-page PDFs.

About Cookbooks
Cookbooks are collections of recipes, techniques and culinary tips designed to guide both amateur and professional cooks in preparing meals. They often include step-by-step instructions, ingredient lists and photos, making the recipes easy to follow. Cookbooks serve as valuable resources for exploring international cuisines, learning culinary skills or preserving family traditions. Ideal as gifts or simply for personal use, they capture the art of creating delicious dishes and the joy of cooking. Much like comic books, cookbooks combine content with visual elements to tell a captivating story - only this time, it’s all about delicious food.
- Get the most out of your recipes. Turn your culinary creations into a success story with our affordable and professional cookbook printing.
- Print Instead of Collect. Organize your favorite recipes in a custom-designed book - a concept often found in magazine layouts.
- Easy for Everyone to Understand. Step-by-step instructions and clear layouts are helpful and make cooking stress-free, much like reading a well-designed brochure.
- Durable and long-lasting. Cookbooks are printed on high-quality materials and can withstand frequent use in the kitchen.
- Great gift idea. A well-thought-out, personalized cookbook is a unique and unforgettable gift.
- Culinary heritage. Preserve your family recipes this way or showcase your culinary expertise in a professionally printed format.
- Branding included. Perfect for professional chefs, food bloggers or restaurants to promote their unique recipes.
