Add impact to your Thesis or Dissertation with professional binding

First impressions count.

Everyone knows this little phrase and it applies completely to submitting your thesis too. You’ve poured man-hours into researching, writing and proofing your Thesis – the last thing you want is to make a poor impression by submitting a substandard printed document.

A well printed and bound document will reflect all the hard work that has gone into creating the content within it.

Experienced binders

We’ve been binding dissertations and thesis for many years and know a thing or two about it. From the feedback we’re received, a beautifully bound dissertation has much more impact. Your publication is in good hands.

You’ll want the overall finish to be perfect. Neatly trimmed, durable, and free of blemishes. We inspect each document before we ship it out, giving you peace of mind that it has been printed with care and attention to detail.

Up to spec thesis binding

Many universities have their own thesis binding specifications for submitted documents and we can bind to those requirements. This ensures that you not only comply but also make the best possible impression.

Using the latest digital printing technology, you can be sure that the print quality will be excellent and we don’t skimp on the paper either. Our standard weight is 100gsm, making sure the print is legible and the document is a pleasure to handle too.

Our thesis / dissertation binding service offers you a choice of covers and finishes, meaning it is customised to you.

We also offer a variety of extra options allowing you to add even more uniqueness to your document and make it stand out.

You have a variety of delivery options too, including Next-day delivery with a 1 hour window. You won’t have to hang around all day waiting for that important thesis to arrive. We know that there is no point in getting a thesis printed and bound to a professional standard, only to find that it has been damaged in the post. We take care in packing and delivering your thesis so that it arrives in the pristine condition you’d expect.

Cost Effective

Having choice means you have a say in the final cost. Our printing and binding processes are streamlined to ensure low waste and a fast turn-around – keeping costs to a minimum and giving you the best possible finish at a great price. We have a quick cost calculator to help you get an idea of the choice and the pricing before you even place an order.

Having survived the stress of compiling your thesis , you’ll want the submission process to be smooth and easy.

We have a wide range of applications and will process your files in most common formats. If you are unsure of what format to submit your document, please do not hesitate to contact us [email protected] .

What areas do we cover?

We have produced thesis binding to students from all over the country, here’s a quick look at just how much of the UK we cover:

It doesn’t matter which university you attend, or where you are in the UK – we can print it, bind it and ship it for you.

What fantastic service, and what a great finished product. Iain was brilliant in ironing out a few glitches (caused by me tbh). I can't praise him or the service provided highly enough. If you want your thesis bound professionally you've found the right place.

Just received my bound dissertation from Helix. I had to write this brief message to say thank you so much, it is absolutely stunning. The service, quality, and simplicity of the process is amazing. I cannot recommend your company enough, I will definitely be using you for future binding projects. Many thanks, Dave.

Comparison of Bindings

1. how long does dissertation binding take.

If you decide for dissertation binding with BachelorPrint, we recommend that you keep an eye on the countdown above and make use of the delivery time calculator as soon as possible. The next day express delivery is free of charge at BachelorPrint.

Visit the print shop to see your exact delivery date.

2. What are the costs for dissertation printing?

The most important factor for most students when it comes to dissertation printing is the price. The price includes factors such as: type of binding and number of pages when printing and binding your PhD thesis. You can calculate the exact price for your dissertation printing beforehand here: Print Shop

Do you want to print your dissertation for example with 20 pages and bind it with the premium leather binding with additional embossing, the calculated price is $64,80. This is 45% less compared to other market prices! Plus: with BachelorPrint, your order is delivered for free!

At BachelorPrint, we use 100 g/m² premium-paper as standard for printing and set the same price for color – and black/white printing.

3. Where can I order my dissertation binding?

To have your dissertation printed and bound, you can either go to a copy shop or simply order your dissertation binding online. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

One advantage of the print shop is that you can conveniently place your order from home. You configure your binding and then look at the end product using our 3D live preview. Then simply order and get your order delivered the next day for free.

4. Which type of binding is recommended for a dissertation?

We also recommend high-quality binding for important work, such as the dissertation. For this reason, the leather binding is our top recommendation! It not only looks noble and high quality, but also gives your examiner a perfect first impression.

5. Which paper to use for printing and binding a dissertation?

For work such as dissertations, either the 80 g/m² paper or the 100 g/m² paper is often used. At BachelorPrint we use the 100 g/m² paper as our standard, as it is not only more robust, but also feels better when you browse through the thesis. However, if you want to print and bind your dissertation on both sides, we recommend that you even use the 120 g/m² paper to ensure that the text does not show through.

If you want to know more about the right paper for your dissertation, follow this link to our blog post: Which paper for dissertation printing & binding?

6. How can I save money when printing a dissertation?

With BachelorPrint you have many options to have your dissertation printed and bound inexpensively. Additionally, you can also get embossing for ‘type of work’ free of charge, as well as express delivery.

We can print your thesis for you while you wait, in colour or black. You can use the Price Calculator to check the price. Or if you can give us 3 or 5 working days to complete and the price will be lower.

Our colour printers are sophisticated enough to know the difference between colour and black pages so you can send it to print as one complete document – no need to waste time collating it afterwards. However, watch out for:

• headers and footers that contain colour text or lines – this will make every page colour.
• hyperlinks (web or email addresses) – these may be in blue or another colour; right click the link then remove the hyperlink.
• graphics that look black but were originally saved as colour – ensure that they are saved as mono, greyscale or bitmap before inserting them into your document.

We recommend printing from PDF files as these minimise problems but we do have Microsoft Word 2010 and LibreOffice (OpenOffice) on all four customer PCs.

We usually print onto high quality standard weight (80gsm) paper and you can choose recycled paper at no extra cost. We also have a selection of papers up to 120gsm which are suitable for dissertation printing, with a small extra cost per sheet.

If you wish to print your thesis yourself, that’s fine – we’re still happy to bind it for you.

Manchester Metropolitan University

For softback binding, page 60 of the MMU Research Degrees Handbook allows channel binding for submitting two paper copies of your Thesis. We can normally bind while you wait in about 5 minutes at a cost of £5.00 per copy, plus any printing charges if required. However, if your Thesis is thicker than 32mm – approx. 300 sheets of standard 80gsm paper – it’s too thick for channel binding. You could consider printing it double sided in such a situation.

There is no longer a requirement to submit the final Thesis in hardback format. If you require hardback binding – as a personal copy for example, or for your supervisor or sponsor – please note that this will take a little longer: it cannot be done while you wait although a same day service is possible. Full details on the options available can be found on our hardback binding page.

University of Manchester

The standard regulations state that prior to your viva, you must submit two bound copies of your Thesis. Most students choose softback binding for their first submission as it is quick and inexpensive. MuPrint can channel bind your Thesis to University of Manchester standards with gold lettering on the spine. This takes only 5-10 minutes (not hours or days) and costs £9.00 per copy.

The standard lettering required is in this style:

PhD     YOUR NAME     2020

Note that with the modern style, there are no stops in “PhD” nor after any initials in your name.

There is a physical limit of 32mm – approximately 300 sheets of standard 80gsm paper or about 340 sheets of 70gsm paper – that can be channel bound. If your Thesis has more pages or you have used a thicker paper then you will have to bind it into 2 separate volumes or print it double sided. Check the regulations for what you need if you bind it in more than a single volume. If you haven’t already printed it, we can print it double sided for you but check with your supervisor beforehand as many prefer single sided printing only.

There is no longer a requirement to submit hardback bound copies of your Thesis once you have passed your viva at the University of Manchester. If you require hardback binding – as a personal copy for example, or for your supervisor or sponsor – please note that this will take a little longer: it cannot be done while you wait although a same day service is possible. Full details on the options available can be found on our hardback binding page.

If you wish to re-use all or some of the pages from your Channel bound Thesis, bring it back to us as we have the equipment to take the binding apart.

Other Universities

We’re happy to print and bind theses for students from other universities. Please ensure that you bring a copy of the regulations so we can complete the work to the correct standard.

When submitting your thesis or dissertation, MuPrint are university printers you can trust.
