Getting a print quote used to mean knowing the vocabulary before you could ask the question. This video walks through MCRL’s streamlined request form, which is built to guide you through the basic specifications step by step rather than assuming you already know them.
You’ll be asked for the fundamentals - finished size, page count, paper weight, binding type, cover material and quantity - and then shown the unique features and custom add-ons available at each stage, with a short tutorial and real examples to help you picture the options. That structure matters: many clients discover finishes they didn’t know existed simply by walking the form.
What comes back is one all-inclusive number rather than a base price that grows. MCRL quotes include duties, taxes and shipping to your door, plus a physical bound proof to review before production begins. Whether you’re printing a book, journal, planner, card set, board game or something entirely custom, the same process applies - and like any significant investment, it’s worth getting a few quotes to compare.
