We have various types of paper for the inside pages and cardboard for the cover. There are also various applications for embellishing the cover. Since the possibilities we offer are many, we have not shown all options in the offer request.

The process can take three to five weeks, depending on the specifications of your order and on services like layout and design. Of course this process can be accelerated. For faster delivery, please contact us. On this page, we also provide a tool with which we can give you an indication of the duration of delivery.

We would like to receive the text in a Word document.

In our Complete (Plus) packages for the inside pages, you can have the entire thesis styled from A to Z, including:

• Font, size, and line spacing
• Use of headlines
• Headers and footers
• Table of contents
• References
• Tables
• Indexes
• Title pages of chapters

You can leave the figures as a reference in the Word document. We also want to receive these figures separately, as close to the source as possible so as to retain the best possible quality. The format of these separate files may vary (e.g. PDF or TIFF documents).

The optimum quality or resolution for images and figures is 300 DPI. Figures can also be submitted as vectors in their respective sources (e.g. EPS documents or EMF from PowerPoint).

You can leave the tables in the Word document. These tables should consist of rows and cells. We can import these tables into our software and adjust the styling accordingly.

This depends on the package you choose and the creativity required. Our standard packages take several working days. Our Complete (Plus) and total packages may take two or three weeks. Check our planning tool to get some idea of how long the entire process takes.

Depending on the package you choose, we have templates and examples for you. Together with the designer you can take stock of your wishes. These wishes will be made into a layout concept.

We work with in-house as well as external designers. We can decide which designers would be perfect for your wishes and ideas.

In our packages, 30 minutes are reserved for author corrections, for instance with respect to spelling errors or other inconsistencies. We recommend that you check the Word document carefully before sending it to us. This will lead to fewer corrections, and it will save you time while checking the concept and the entire layout.

We can print books in short runs. In both softcover and hardcover version.

As a PDF file. You will find more information in our manual.

The process can take two to four weeks, depending on the specifications of your order and on services like layout and design. Of course this process can be accelerated. For faster delivery, please contact us.

If five or more people have their thesis printed by us, they will be eligible for a group discount. The discount percentage depends on the number of people in the group. Please contact us if you need any further information.

If you want to register your book, an ISBN will be required. With this number, your book will be listed in a database that is recognised world-wide.

Please state this wish when you apply for the quotation for having your book printed. We will need some information from you in order to be able to submit the application. The costs for this ISBN application are €25, exclusive of 9% VAT.

After production, we pack the theses in handy boxes. These boxes are sent by an overnight courier. This courier collects the theses one working day before the delivery date agreed on. On the next day, he will deliver the theses between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The shipment is normally delivered to the University. This is more practical, as someone needs to be present during office hours.

The idea of the proof is that you can check it and make any changes necessary. The time you need for doing this properly is taken into account in the planning. After you have checked the proof, we look forward to receiving your approval for the final files.

During the process, you will receive a proof of the thesis. It comes as a paper proof as standard, which you can check for quality and content. In the event of urgent delivery or if you do not have the possibility of receiving a paper proof, we will send you a digital proof in PDF by e-mail. This aspect will be discussed and agreed when your order is planned.
