Hardcover or softcover for a dissertation?
A dissertation is traditionally produced as a hardcover with a sewn binding, because it has a formal character and is often kept for years. A matt-laminated cover gives a clean, professional look. For additional copies to hand out, a softcover with a perfect binding is tidy, affordable and quick.
Many candidates order a few hardcovers for the committee and themselves, alongside a larger softcover run for colleagues and family.
Paper, format and supplying your file
A5 or 17 × 24 cm are the usual sizes for a dissertation. Choose wood-free paper of 80 to 100 gsm: heavy enough to prevent show-through, light enough to keep a thick volume manageable. If your dissertation contains colour charts or figures, 100 gsm silk gives them more depth.
Supply your file as a print-ready PDF with embedded fonts. Check that chapter structure, pagination and the table of contents are correct, and keep a generous inner margin on a thick book. Not sure? We are happy to check it at no charge.
On time for your defence
For a defence, the deadline is everything. Reckon on the standard 5 to 7 working days of production after your file is approved, plus delivery time, plus a margin for a possible correction. In a hurry? Get in touch and we will look at what is possible for your date.
A dignified, lasting result
A well-produced dissertation starts with a consistent layout: one typeface for the body text, even margins and sharp figures. A restrained, professional cover with the title, your name and your institution makes an immediate impression. Because we print from a single copy, you order exactly the number you need for the committee and yourself. For guidance on preparing print-ready files, see our knowledge base, and for standards on academic documents, ISO.
