If your book requires one-sided printing, we offer this option upon request. One-sided printing does add to the cost of your finished book, as it uses twice as much paper and requires a wider spine. It will also increase your shipping costs.
For example, if a book or booklet with 100 pages is printed two-sided, it uses 50 total sheets. (Each sheet has two sides – a front and a back, so each sheet equals two pages.) A book printed with one-sided pages, however, uses 100 sheets, since one sheet equals one page.
If you have any questions or are unsure, call our customer service at 1.800.231.0521, and we'll be happy to explain it in more detail. We can calculate the price for printing your book one-sided.

Please note, single-sided printing is very rare. It would only be advisable if you have a specific reason. To add single-sided printing to order, simply select this during the order process (single-sided printing is listed under "other options" on the order review page). Contact us if you’d like to add single-sided printing after your order is placed.
