Working with MCRL has truly been an honor. As an author, finding a printing partner that is both supportive and resourceful can be challenging, but MCRL stands out in the best way. Rather than turning authors away, they have created an open and welcoming space with resources that support you at every stage of your book project.

What I appreciated most was the consistent, clear communication. The team made sure that both Melinda and I were always informed, updated, and prepared for each next step in the process. That level of transparency and care made the entire experience smooth and reassuring. Overall, my experience has been exceptional. With three more books on the way, I can confidently say that I will continue this journey with MCRL.
Frances Rochelle Pride

I used MCRL for my project, 30 Words in 30 Days A Devotional Journal. Everything from beginning to the end was exceptional. My project was completed and arrived just in time for Christmas. Thank you and I will use your organization again.
Tristan Miranda

As an author, I have found MCRL Overseas Group to be a great company to do business with. Not only did they make printing my hardback picture books easy and convenient for me, but they were reasonably priced, extremely communicative, and fast.

I received my books an entire month earlier than their estimate. If you need an offset printer, look no further. MCRL is your best option by far.

I created a Hawaiian language / English Language Braille book and they walked me through the process with the braille, with embossed pages, with the printing of the pages. I intend to continue working with them as we are developing more projects! Mahalo nui Jamie, Carol and the whole team there at MCRL!
Ayla Brooks

Jelissa Thomas
author of JUST ONE Small WORD
MCRL Overseas Group did such an amazing job printing my book. They kept in touch with me the whole way through, which I really really valued. I loved that they sent me a copy before shipping the full order so I could make sure everything looked and felt exactly how I wanted…especially my embossed cover.

Deanna Monk
The Boss Life
I had a great experience working with this printing team. As it was my first time going through the process, I had quite a few questions—but they were incredibly supportive every step of the way.
Read more...
They took the time to answer everything clearly, shared helpful videos to walk me through the details, and even showed my project in progress, which was such a nice touch.
We were aiming for a high-quality result, and that’s exactly what we received. With all the moving parts and stress involved in planning and developing a project, it was genuinely exciting to reach this stage and see it come to life with such care and attention. Highly recommend!

Grace Stiles
Author and Head of Marketing at Trainr
These books were super easy & affordable to get printed. Staff was very helpful & patient, especially throughout the design process. It was less than $6/book to get published, including shipping - and they are good quality and shipped very quickly!
Read more...
The minimum of 300 copies is way less than any other board book publisher I could find. So overall, we loved your services!
Robert Alderman
Pulp Hummock Press
I just want to say that, as a third-party tabletop roleplaying game publisher with a few Kickstarters under his belt (totaling over $300,000), that MCRL Overseas Group has been the most professional printing company that I have had the distinct pleasure of working with to date.
Read more...
Not only did they handle book manufacturing for me, but they also brought my order overseas from the printing warehouse in China to my fulfillment team's warehouse in New Jersey. The shipment reached the fulfillment center within a week of the estimated delivery date. I was very impressed by this!
MCRL is a real class act. The team was timely in their responses to me. They graciously responded to all of my (rather amateurish) questions and guided me throughout the entire manufacturing and overseas shipping process.
Honestly, it was a breeze!
And the book quality: I have received so many compliments from my fan base about how lovely these books are, inside and out.
Of the 22 replacement orders that I had to cover out of my own pocket, only three of them were due to manufacturing defects: the rest were damaged by other parcel companies (not MCRL) during the final leg of fulfillment (after MCRL had released the entire book order into our care).
I am so very pleased and grateful to Jaime, Carol, and Taylor for their wonderful customer service, their patience, and most especially, their beautifully bound products. What a company!

To simply say I recommend Noel and MCRL Printing would indeed be a vast understatement—they are the standard I will measure others against. Their combined efforts have transformed my ambitious idea into a tangible masterpiece that speaks volumes of their dedication to their clients.

A Symphony of Professionalism and Creativity – Noel Mercieca and MCRL Printing. After a long and exhaustive search for the right partner to bring my project to fruition, I happened upon MCRL Printing as well as Noel Mercieca of Breakpoint Design Studio. My experience with them has been nothing short of remarkable, and writing this review is both a privilege and a genuine reflection of their exemplary services.
From the onset, Noel was a beacon of hope in what seemed like an endless sea of creative and technical hurdles. The project I had envisioned was complex, requiring not just a keen eye for design but also an understanding of the nuanced storytelling I wanted my journal to convey. Noel's expertise shined through immediately, his guidance tinged with the right balance of professionalism and personal investment. He wasn't just a designer working on a project; he was an artist perfecting a craft, and that made all the difference.
Fabrizio at MCRL Printing impressed me equally. Their attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality prints mirror Noel's passion for design. It is evident that they understand and take seriously their role in bringing art to life. Collaborating with them felt like a harmonious blend of technology and tradition—each page meticulously printed, reflecting the soul I had poured into my work for several years.

I worked with MCRL to manufacture my first hardbound bullet journal product. I had a great experience with their entire team. Everyone was very helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure my product was everything I wanted it to be, and also got it to me on a tight deadline.

I am so happy with the quality! I sold 2000 units, and my customers consistently comment on the level of craftsmanship. I will definitely be working with them again! Thank you, MCRL!

Prestige Hotels & Resorts
We had a fabulous experience working with MCRL on the publication of our company's coffee table book.From the quoting process all the way through to the final product being delivered, the MCRL team delivered fantastic customer service. Read more...
They quickly responded to my emails, helped the project stay on track and on budget, and made the whole process very easy.
The price of our books (full colour, hard cover, 272 pages) was also extremely reasonable and by far the best pricing I was quoted on. No surprises and the quality of the book is on par with anything you'd find in major bookstores.
I would definitely use MCRL again and have recommended them to other friends and companies already.

Linda Mah
author of UH-OH TROUBLE AT SCHOOL, A Grumpy the Bird Story
MCRL is a very professional organization. The printing company is located in China but I dealt with Fabizio, Carol and Jamie from Ontario. All questions and concerns were addressed promptly. When I had a concern about the proof of the book, Carol made a video to explain and show how the second proof would look.
Read more...
I was comfortable in doing business in Canada and having someone oversee the operations in China. If I had to deal with someone directly from China, I would not have felt that my requests would understood. Jamie was great in checking on the shipment of books - the arrival, the inspection and finally the delivery. A very personable team, great service, patience and that is what counts in my business dealings.
Kelly Thorne Gore
Creator of the iBloom Planner
We couldn't be happier with the outstanding job MCRL did on the iBloom Planner. From start to finish, they provided exceptional service, ensuring every detail was just right. The final product exceeded our expectations - beautifully designed, high quality, and exactly what we envisioned.

Our customers are absolutely loving the planners, and we've received so much positive feedback. Thank you for going above and beyond to help us create a product that truly stands out. We highly recommend MCRL's services to anyone looking for professionalism, reliability, and excellence.
Lauren Hulsey
author of Belongings
I am so grateful for MCRL in helping publish our first children's book series! We had researched many companies to print with and ended up going with MCRL based on their amazing reviews. They do not lie, they are amazing!
Read more...
This was our first time self publishing so there were many ups and downs along the way. Instead of brushing us off and telling us to come back when we were ready, Carol, Fab, Jamie and team went above and beyond to help us understand the process and connect us with designers who they knew and trusted to take us over the finish line. The quality of the books is also perfect, truly feeling like a book I would pick up in a store. Once everything was set, it is shockingly fast to get the samples and then the thousands of books. We plan to continue printing with MCRL for many more years to come.

I've worked with MCRL overseas group for a year now (2 orders) and both times the journals I had printed were beautiful and amazing quality. The customer service was over the top- doing everything they could to get me the journals by a certain date

and walking me through any processes I didn't understand as a new business owner/designer. Highly recommend- lower prices for great quality in exchange for slightly longer shipping time is 100% worth it.
Alex Sidnam
The Tales of Charlie Wags: New York City
MCRL has a wonderful reputation for a reason. As a first-time self published author, we were pointed their way (along with a few other printing companies) by an industry professional. MCRL was in every way the easiest and best to work with -- from pricing to proofing to final delivery,

the entire process was seamless and professional. The team is responsive and dedicated to your books from beginning to end. And of course, the final product was delivered in great condition and a week early (even despite a port strike). 1000% recommend.

Children's Book Author
MCRL was amazing to work with! I am a first time self published author of a children's book. Working with Carol and Jamie made everything so much more rewarding. They were patient with my learning curve and were genuinely happy to help me every step of the way.

My book, "Ellie with the Belly", is beautiful. The quality of the book is beyond what I had imagined, and the pricing was the best around! I will definitely use them again and again.
Clay Boura
Children's Book Author and Illustrator
I have been a children's author & illustrator for 10 years now. And while I have been happy with my previous publisher/printer, drastic price increases since the pandemic caused me to look around for the printing of my 4th book. I discovered MCRL Overseas Group by doing a Google search and could not have been happier!
Read more...
Between the fantastic pricing, the superior product and the exemplary customer service, I was extremely happy and satisfied with my experience from start to finish! I not only printed my 4th book through them, but also printed a 2nd edition of my 2nd book as well! I HIGHLY recommend MCRL Overseas Group to any self-published authors out there!
Jessica Frere

Working with MCRL was a wonderful experience! Fabrizio and team were incredibly patient in answering my many, many questions and were so knowledgeable throughout each stage of the publishing process. They walked me through each step from start to finish and kept me up to speed on printing timeline, delivery, etc.

I was incredibly pleased with the final printed product - my journals arrived quickly and exactly as promised. I would absolutely work with MCRL again on future projects and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable offset printing partner!
Linda Sachs
Children's Book Author
From start to finish the MCRL team made my offset printing experience extremely easy. The communication was perfect with quick response to all my questions and needs. Then my order arrived in a timely manner and my books exceeded my expectations. I used bamboo paper and the quality of this paper is top notch.
Read more...
The soy ink makes the images in my children’s picture book pop off the pages. All in all, I’d say the print copy of my book has been advanced to a whole new level of superior quality. Thank you MCRL! I will be back for all my large print projects.
Alexa Bigwarfe
Founder of WritePublishSell and The Women In Publishing Summit
MCRL is amazing! We had an issue with one of our children's books and needed a print run FAST. Their team of experts jumped in, helped us get the print run in a timely manner, even worked in an air shipment of 100 of the books to help us get them as quickly as possible.

The quality of the books is outstanding and their team is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and very courteous. I highly recommend MCRL for your printing solution!
Laura Allen

Finding a printer capable of custom printing our Flagship Positivity Keys Daily Flip Positive Thinking Calendar was tricky until I found MCRL. The communication, quality and overall experience was nothing but incredible. I appreciate the attention to detail and getting it done on time! Thank you MCRL and Team.

MCRL is the perfect resource for self-published authors. The employees are cordial, and helpful, responding to communications quickly, answering all questions and producing a high quality product. I will be back very soon with more books to print...cannot wait to see the finished products! Shout out to Fabrizio, Jamie, Carol and Mankit...a great team! Thanks!
Amanda Stores
creator of the Cover to Cover Bible Journal
I had little to no experience with all that was required for printing a physical product. the MCRL team was patient with every question and every email, willing to explain things in an understandable way to get to the final product. Carol Popper especially worked alongside me via email for every step of the process.
Read more...
This Cover to Cover Bible Journal went from a dream to a reality in a matter of months. Every fear of printing overseas and trusting a company I couldn’t physically visit, completely gone. The journals not only arrived, but arrived in tact. Meaning, every journal arrived already packaged with the journal, with the stickers on the back pocket, immediately ready for shipment. Most companies will not do a draft of the product before the mass production, MCRl sent one months in advance, which allowed me to pre sell the journals to cover to costs to print. Everyone who has touched and seen the journal in person has said that is looks extremely well put together, beautiful and worthy of major publishers picking it up for mass production. From the colors, to the stickers, to the box, to the actual journals, I am floored by the quality and time poured into this from this company.
Laura Jacobson,
Magic Thumb Books
From my first contact with MCRL their service has been outstanding. As a debut author, it was important to me to find a printing company that would be willing to accommodate a specific size that I was looking for in printing my book and also able to provide a jacket cover, that was a must for me.
Read more...
It was also important to me to have a professional-looking book that highlighted the amazing talent of my illustrator. What sealed the deal for me, was the opportunity to purchase samples of their work prior to signing a contract, and their use of environmentally conscious materials.
It’s important when you’re releasing your first book to have a quality team that’s willing to answer all your questions no matter how silly they may seem and willing to be in touch and walk you through the whole process. The cost of printing was also favorable and competitive with other companies I had contacted. In fact, better.
I would absolutely recommend them to anyone interested in having their book printed.
Daniel Meola
co-founder of Life-Giving Wounds
Excellent customer service, great price, and a high-quality product. I can't say enough about how excellent it was working with them. In particular, Jamie Sholl was fantastic to work with as she navigated me through the 2 - 3 month shipping process as a first-time buyer with them.
Read more...
She even advocated for me to the American trucking company to move it along as quick as possible when there were possible delays on their end, and we got our journals on time thanks to her efforts. I couldn't thank her enough! I am a co-founder and president of a small, non-profit who ordered some specialized smith-sewn journals through MCRL and they turned out perfect. The smith-sewn binding is sturdy and lays flat. The color on the cover and the pages was bright and the way it should be. The paper and materials are durable. There were no cut corners here on the product. I'll definitely be using them again and recommending them to other businesses and non-profits - especially those who are in need of high-quality, smith-sewn journals at an affordable price.
Tyra Miller, creator of the Faith In Her Journal
"I had journals produced through MCRL Overseas Group and it’s safe to say I’m a happy customer! I love the quality. This was my first time ordering journals for printing, and from start to finish the entire team ensured a smooth process. They were on top of answering my questions and had great communication."

Especially Carol. This was an overwhelming process for me and she stayed with me and calmly educated and reassured me as to what to expect and how to make corrections. She was indispensable to making this book look so great. Thank you so much. Anyone looking for a great printer should consider MCRL."

One Sacred Space
I had an amazing experience working with MRCL! To say, I have not been disappointed, is an understatement. My first contact with the company was with the account representative.
Read more...
After my initial reaching out to the company via e-mail he responded by saying “let’s jump on the phone for a quick conversation so that I make sure that I understand the scope and depth of what you are looking to produce”.
That was just the beginning of the stellar service I received.
Every person from my initial contact, the art department, the production team and accounting was outstanding. They returned e-mails quickly, they were both informative and well informed of the project I was undertaking. There was not one detail left to chance.
I received my prototype for approval and was impressed. The quality of the card stock, the print quality and presentation was beyond what I had anticipated. My past work experience had brought me in contact with buying many of the same products that I was creating and the MRCL product excelled my expectations.
There was one correction that needed to be made and it was done in a timely manner with the minimum cost to my company.
MRCL provided better quality, outstanding customer service from every department and great pricing. Every problem, every challenge was dealt with in a professional and productive manner. I will be using MRCL for all of my printing needs going forward and I highly recommend this company.
MRCL, thank you for going above and beyond to ensure the project was completed on time. I am so very proud to present what you have produced on my behalf.

Customer service was extremely helpful, realistic about timelines and costs, and always responsive even after the contract was signed. I had support right up until the books were in hand, and never felt like a second-class customer despite a relatively small print run. I have already referred a few self-publishers to this company.
Sara McCormick
creator of the Soul Care Planner
"I've printed my planners with a few companies now, and MCRL was so easy to work with! They communicated along every step of the way, had an easy proof and ordering process, and the product was a hit with my customers. Will definitely order from them again!"
Maxine Bett
"MCRL Overseas Group was an absolute PLEASURE to work with. They helped at every step of the way and offered many explanations and guidance throughout the whole project. If you are looking to create your own journal or other services they provide I HIGHLY recommend. I will definitely be working with them again in the future!"
Sam Saladino
Owner at Saladino Creative+Design
"The project was in good hands from the beginning to the end. Being a print broker, they dealt with me fairly and patiently, while honoured trade pricing. The mock price was a true representation of what the final product would look like. Upon receiving the catalogues, we were not disappointed and the client was very happy.

No hick-ups, no extra billing, no surprises. Great job MCRL team. Looking forward to sending you more prospects.

"I literally spent years looking for the right printing partner and finally settled on MCRL. They are far more than just a printer as Carol is a full blown production advisor and Jamie is a logistics rockstar. They are constantly going above and beyond. So very lucky to have found them and work with them!
Sonia Julet
founder of Habit Joy
"Each person appears to care about doing a good job simply out of principle, because they are the kind of people who value doing a good job. There is a lot of kindness there, yet also efficiency - no nonsense, no wasted communications, yet never a moment when you don't feel you are in good hands. They wanted me to be happy with my product and they wanted me to get a great result.
Read more...
You can trust their advice, as they have been doing this quite some time. When I needed to know specifics about textures and colors and such, the answers I got were accurate. They also helped me to address considerations I would not have known about on my own.
Not only are the people at MCRL - let's name Josh, Carol, and Jamie - wonderful, but the product is equally fantastic. I could not believe how much it exceeded what I would have expected even in the best case scenario. There's really nowhere else to go because I can't imagine anyone else getting such exquisite results on the given budget. I have not even one tiny complaint or wish for things to have gone differently, because the experience was pretty much ideal."

Your use of environmentally friendly, soy-based ink has also been appreciated.

From my early interactions with Josh who made efforts to ensure that the project met both my needs and my budget; Carol’s expert guidance through the production process and effective intervention with the factory to properly address the discovered deficiencies; Jamie and Quynh’s follow up on the shipments, making sure that the billing was correct and payments instantly acknowledged, through Mankit’s personal oversight to ensure customer satisfaction, I felt that you all have done your best to assist me. I invite you to have a look at the ECL Publishing website/internet store (eclpublishing.ca) where you will see very positive references to your company. I have thought you may enjoy this recognition.
Thank you, again, for helping me with this first self-publishing undertaking. I have just been asked to write more children’s books – and will definitely reach out again to you when I am ready to move ahead with another publication."

I invite you to have a look at the ECL Publishing website/internet store (eclpublishing.ca) where you will see very positive references to your company. I have thought you may enjoy this recognition.
Thank you, again, for helping me with this first self-publishing undertaking. I have just been asked to write more children’s books – and will definitely reach out again to you when I am ready to move ahead with another publication."

As the visual artist of the book Islands, Lake of the Woods, a great deal of concern goes into the quality and balance of colour and MCRL excelled in the production. The feedback is very positive. As first time publishers there was indeed a great deal to learn along the way and hurdles to overcome. Thank you for all the time, commitment, understanding and very quick responses to our many enquiries. I realize, for a book of this complexity and quality, it takes a team effort from design, writing and production to bring it all together. A heartfelt thank you for all your efforts and help. Please pass my appreciation along to the production team for making a dream come true."

"HIGHLY RECOMMENDI started printing with MCRL Overseas Group in 2011. It has been over a decade that we have continued to work with Mankit, Jamie, and Carol. We print hardcover and softcover books. People who see our product mention repeatedly that the books are super high quality. Read more...
The black is ultra-black, the colours are vibrant, and the text is crisp. One gentleman who prints books mentioned that our books were excellent, and that it is hard to achieve this level of quality refinement in printing.
If you are debating who you should use for printing, you won't be disappointed with the quality produced by MCRL Overseas Group. Furthermore the prices are a fraction of what it would cost to print in Canada. Thanks again MCRL Overseas Group for successful projects that required exceptional quality."

"I had been working on my project for months, and couldn’t find anywhere that could bind and print my journals for me until I came across MCRL. I checked the reviews - which incidentally speak for themselves and started liasing with them. They listen to everything you say, nothing is too much trouble, and they email you back quickly. A special shout-out to Josh and Jamie. Jamie is just the most amazing human and a credit to the company. My products arrived beautifully and I couldn’t be happier. They have been such a pleasure from start to finish."

"I have been working with MCRL Overseas Group for the past year on the production and shipment of the Peak Performance Planner. I can't speak highly enough of their service and the quality of the print. The process was absolutely seamless from design to production to shipment. I worked closely with Jamie as they were some global shipping delays over the past few months that we had to work through together, but since she was so approachable and always responded to all my concerns and questions super quickly, I felt really well taken care of and heard. Thank you so much for helping me bring this idea to life!"

"The team at MCRL is extremely helpful and did an excellent job bringing the vision of my product to life! They did a thorough job ensuring the details of my project were carried out. I was sent a proof as well to ensure all the details met the expectations and allowed room to make edits as needed. They helped me through each step of the way of the process and I appreciated their transparency and continuous communication of what to expect next all the way to the arrival and shipment of the finished product at my doorstep. Even in the midst of the challenges and delays due to the pandemic I appreciated their honesty and open communication. In the end I got a quality product that I envisioned. Thank you MCRL Group!"

"I recently ordered a second printing of 1500 hardcover copies of my graphic novel ON BEING YUKIKO from MCRL. I decided not to reprint with my original Canadian printer because of some printing issues they had made. When I learned about MCRL, I was excited to work with them and I liked that they are based in Canada since transactions can be in Canadian funds. After receiving a few quotes from other printers, MCRL came in over 25% cheaper overall."Read more...

I did gold foiling on the cover of the MAGIC Journal. I was curious how it was going to come out and it exceeded my expectations. Also, before placing my order, the team was very good at answering all my questions. They sent me samples of features and ideas we discussed.

"Exceptional. I can't say enough about MCRL and their conscientiousness and attention to detail. There is a reason they have all these 5 star reviews. They are great to work with, friendly and get the job done fast. Stateside printers are sadly slow, not in any hurry to help. Waited over a month just for a quote from a local printer. With MCRL, entire job done in 5 months (including 9 weeks shipping from China). And the finished product is EXACTLY as I pictured it in my head. Truly exceptional. Their customer service is the best in the industry."

"I originally tried to print my planners directly with an overseas factory. The samples were terrible. When you are new to printing, you don’t know what you don’t know. I am so grateful to have found MCRL. They’ve done a phenomenal job on every detail of the Balanced Life Planner® and Designer Notebooks. Their team took the time to ask if I’d thought about this or that. I was never afraid to ask questions, they patiently explained terminology, included physical proofs and communicated with me throughout the process. When you surround yourself with experts, you don’t need to know it all. You just need to know who you can rely on. I consider MCRL part of my “A” team and look forward to working on many more projects together!"

"I would just like to say that my experience with MCRL Printing was top notch from start to finish. This was my first book that I had printed, which I had also self-published, and I had a lot of questions as I am a details person. Joshua was terrific with getting back to me ASAP. He was quick to find me an answer to whatever I shot his way. The same goes for Jamie, she was top notch and both were so accommodating. It was refreshing to have such a smooth flow to this transaction. At one point we had a time crunch due to my schedule and they made it happen. I will definitely give them business again. They saved me thousands of dollars on my order compared to other quotes I was given. Thanks MCRL!"

(When you’re new to book publishing, like us, that’s key.) Phenomenal quality? Check. Our illustrated books knocked the socks off a storied independent bookseller based in New York City and Philadelphia which called them “simply top tier.” In fact, they liked our books so much they did an entire window display.

"I would like to personally thank, and recommend MCRL printers! We worked together on my children’s book Quest For Brightland, Book 1, The Blessing Ball, over the course of many months. They were the only company I could find who was willing to take a risk and print glitter on every page. It was not easy to figure out but they did everything they could to solve challenges and keep working with me until I was happy. And HAPPY, is exactly what I am!! My book is actually stunning, the glitter makes every picture as magical as I intended them to be. MCRL Printers have actually made my dreams come true and it was a pleasure to have their expertise and constant help on my team! Thank you to Josh, Carol, Jamie, and Mankit! You made this part of my journey wonderful! Love and Blessings to you all:)" ANGELEAH:))

"MCRL Overseas Printing has been my main printer since 2007. In fact the first book I had printed professionally was printed by MCRL. Over the years, Mankit Chan has walked me through various processes and has always made himself available to resolve any issues as they arose. My company has published over seventy titles now, most of them printed by MCRL. I'm happy with the quality of the printing and plan to use MCRL again very soon. I have referred several clients to them over the years and will continue to do so."
