Thesis binding for University of Auckland students.
Most University of Auckland doctoral and research master's students deposit a digital copy and keep hardbound copies for themselves, their supervisor and their department. We bind to the traditional library specification: A4, buckram, gold lettering.

Questions, answered.
Does the price really include printing?+
Yes. Upload your PDF and we print it on 100gsm paper, double-sided, including colour pages. The only extras are a 48-hour rush (50% of the binding price) and courier delivery ($10.50). GST is added at checkout.
Is this accepted by my university?+
Our hardcover binding is A4, buckram-covered with gold lettering, which is the specification NZ universities use for hardbound deposit and library copies. Most universities now deposit a digital copy and leave hardbound copies to the student, so check your faculty's current guidelines and put any required wording in the order notes.
What file should I send?+
A single flat PDF with pages in final order, A4 page size, fonts embedded. Word files reflow between computers, so we only print from PDF. Editable or fillable PDFs can cause printing problems; export a standard PDF.
Free converters: ilovepdf.com, smallpdf.com, pdf2go.com.
Can I order from outside Auckland?+
Yes. We courier anywhere in New Zealand for a flat $10.50 and email you the tracking number when it ships.
How long does it take?+
Standard turnaround is five working days from when we have your file and payment. A 48-hour rush adds 50% to the binding price. The order page shows the exact ready-by date before you pay.
What if I spell something wrong on the cover?+
Gold foil is stamped exactly as typed and cannot be changed afterwards, which is why the order form shows a live preview and asks you to confirm the spelling before paying. If we make an error on our side, we rebind at no charge.
