We are always happy to talk to you about a forthcoming project, no matter how large or small. We promise not to blind you with technical jargon and will take the time to explain the production route that is right for your book. With over 125 years printing experience, we can offer a level of publishing understanding that no other book printer can match. We will ensure that you feel comfortable with the whole book manufacturing process and that your project runs smoothly and painlessly.

We offer a one-stop shop book manufacturing service with the ability to produce single and two colour litho books on our Heidelberg sheet-fed presses, superb quality black and white text only books on our Nipson Varypress digital web press and black and white text books with black and white photographs to a superior quality on our Xerox iGen digital sheet fed presses. Covers, jackets, PPCs and plate sections can be produced in-house printed digitally on one of our Xerox iGen3 presses.

We also stock a large range of papers which can be used on either our sheet-fed or digital presses ensuring consistency of production if a book changes from sheet-fed to digital production during its life-cycle.

We produce over 100 titles a week for customers ranging from large commercial publishing houses such as Oxford University Press to self-publishers.

In fact, MPG Biddles is the only book manufacturer with such a wide range of presses (digital web and sheet fed) and one of the most comprehensive binderies (from paperback and hardback binding with unsewn (cutback), slotted (slot perforated) or sewn options in the UK.

We believe in making our customers feel comfortable with the whole book manufacturing process and ensuring that their production runs smoothly and painlessly. Each project is managed internally by a production controller who works with you from start to finish.
