Professional School Yearbook Printing
A school yearbook can be one of the most valued printed publications a school produces. It brings together class photos, student profiles, sports, activities, events, achievements and the everyday moments that make up the school year.
We print high-quality full-colour yearbooks with a range of paper and binding options, helping you create a finished publication that suits the style of your school and your budget.
We can work from print-ready artwork supplied by your school, or help with the design and preparation of your yearbook if required.
Printing Options for School Yearbooks
Different schools need different quantities, formats and budgets, so we don't take a one-size-fits-all approach to yearbook printing.
WPS has access to a range of printing presses suitable for quantities from around 50 copies through to 5,000+ copies, with suitable production options for everything in between. This allows us to look at the quantity, number of pages, paper, colour requirements and budget and select the most appropriate printing method for your project.
Whether you need a relatively small school yearbook run or several thousand copies, we can help work out the most practical and economical way to produce it.
Digital Printing
Digital printing is a flexible option for smaller and medium-sized school yearbook runs. It provides excellent full-colour reproduction and is particularly useful where you need a shorter run or want to keep the quantity closely matched to the number of students and families requiring a copy.
Offset Printing
For larger quantities, offset printing can provide an economical solution and is worth considering when the volume makes it the right production method.
Rather than simply applying a fixed quantity rule, we'll look at the complete job and recommend the printing process that makes the most sense for your yearbook.
School Yearbook Binding Options
The binding you choose affects both the appearance and the way the finished yearbook feels when it is handled.
Glued Spine Binding
Glued spine, also known as perfect binding, gives a school yearbook the appearance of a traditional soft-cover book. It is a smart option for yearbooks with a larger number of pages and provides a clean, professional finish.
Saddle Stitch Binding
Saddle stitching uses staples through the centre of the pages and is a practical option for shorter yearbooks. It provides a clean and economical finish and works particularly well for publications with fewer pages.
Choose the Right Paper for Your Yearbook
Paper selection can make a noticeable difference to the look and feel of a school yearbook, particularly when the publication contains lots of photographs.
We can discuss suitable paper stocks for the cover and inside pages, taking into account the amount of photography, the style of the design, the binding method and your budget.
If you're unsure which paper is best, we'll help you compare the options before production.
Can Students Help Design the Yearbook?
Absolutely. Involving students in the creation of the yearbook can be a great way to make the finished publication more personal while also helping keep design costs under control.
If your students are involved in preparing the artwork, we can provide guidance on the layout and print requirements to help make sure the finished files are suitable for production.
If you'd prefer to have the yearbook professionally designed, WPS Design & Print can also help with the design and preparation.

How Much Does School Yearbook Printing Cost?
There isn't one fixed price for a school yearbook because the cost depends on several factors.
The main things we consider when preparing a quotation are:
- Quantity of yearbooks required
- Finished size
- Number of pages
- Colour printing
- Paper selection
- Cover requirements
- Binding method
- Artwork and design requirements
- Required delivery date
Because we have access to different printing options and presses, we can look at the complete job and recommend a production method that suits the quantity and budget.
If you can provide an approximate quantity and an idea of the number of pages, we can work out the most suitable options for you.

- Approximate quantity

- Preferred binding, if known
