Why Choose Toppan?
Unique Projects
In addition to the more conventional 4-colour books for which Toppan are so renowned, we are also proud to be a leader in producing unique products with exceptional design and production detailing.
 PELE, for Gloria Books
The book and presentation case are covered in printed and embossed Setalux Italian fine silk and the cover is embroidered with calf skin leather lettering. The text pages are printed in 8 colours, including resilient metallic inks, on Lumisilk 170gsm matt art paper. The book features a rounded back, hand-bound spine and is cased in 6mm boards padded at the front. The book has gold gilt edges and is presented in a lined slipcase also covered in Italian fine silk.
 “Luxury limited edition ‘big books’ sit in a very specific, high-value niche of the publishing business. Our work is as much about great product design as anything else and given the price point, production values and unit detailing are all. In an industry historically dominated by often expensive (but high-quality) Italian printers, Toppan UK prove that there is a new way forward in the creation of superbly produced, hand-finished collectible ‘objects’ like ours”
Ovais Naqvi,
Publisher/CEO, Gloria, London
Damien Hirst, for Booth Clibborn Editions
 This book is the reduced version of 1997’s acclaimed full size original format, entitled ‘I want to live the rest of my life everywhere, with everyone, one to one, always, forever, now’, also manufactured by Toppan.
The design is very complex but it was a challenge we stepped up to. Some of the inside design features include pop-ups, gatefolds, die-cuts, a magnifying glass attachment, posters, sticker and acetate sheets. We handled the project from beginning to end, and overcame all the production problems a contemporary design book of this specification threw at us.
 All these elements successfully come together to capture a unique, visually testing work of art; Toppan can proudly say that this is a project which showcases the artist’s vision superbly.

A Few of Our Satisfied Customers...
A few words from Free Ground author, Trevor Appleson …
“My experience of working with Toppan for the first time on my recent book 'Free Ground' has been a hugely satisfying and rewarding one. Not only with all the patience and help that I received from the London office in managing and putting the project together, but at the factory in Hong Kong as well. Once the book went into production, I was amazed at the professionalism of the team there, and their unflinching desire to meet my tight deadlines. The result was achieved without complaint and to a high standard. I was very impressed across the board with everyone's desire to meet my quality requirements.I will have no hesitation in returning to Toppan in the very near future for the production of my next book, and I very much look forward to working with the company again.” |

 Employment Practice
We are proud to be one of a handful of printing companies with plants in China audited by worldwide publishers such as Disney, Penguin and approved by major organisations such as Marks & Spencer. Our employment policies and practices comply with national and international laws, and ILO conventions and in many cases the working conditions in our plants far exceed the requirements of local and national employment laws. When we offer you a reasonably priced quote for your book printing, it won’t come from cutting corners in this area. If you require any further details on our scrupulous employment policies please contact us.
Environmental Policies
 Being a printing company, it is of course necessary for us to use ink and paper, however we source these raw materials very carefully:
- All of the paper that we use comes from sustainable forests – in America these sources are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and in Europe they are certified by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification scheme (PEFC).
- The ink that we use complies with the Eco mark requirement in Japan, and Toppan has also developed environmentally –friendly inks made from recycled soy bean oil.
- Our factories no longer use Volatile Organic Compound (VOC), which has been found to be harmful to the environment.
- We operate a management programme to reduce paper wastage.
