You’ve been working on your final thesis for months, or maybe even years in the case of a PhD dissertation. These pieces of academic work are some of the most important milestones in your professional life and they play a huge roll in determining the scale of your success. Therefore, it’s only fitting that your hard work is represented by a high-quality, professional binding.

The Importance of a Good Binding

The importance of first impressions cannot be undermined. Your professor and future employer both need to be impressed before the front page of your thesis is turned. This is where professional printing services are able to help. With clean printing and a professional thesis binding, your family, friends and professors will instantly be impressed.

This extra touch will leave your thesis standing out from the others during the grading process. With an elegantly presented thesis, it will be clear that you’ve gone above and beyond to supply your professors with your best work.

Whether you decide to choose an elegant leather binding, or a self-designed soft cover, your thesis deserves nothing less than a high-quality binding to top off your hard work.

Why do You Need Printing Services?

The specific guidelines of your educational institution can seem confusing and even petty at times. If you’re writing your first thesis, all of these requirements can be overwhelming! With the help of print services, you can sit back and leave the technicalities to the experts. Of course, many of the design decisions will still be left to you, but you’ll have access to advice from the printing experts if you need it.

You will also be printing multiple copies of your thesis. Job applications, future study applications and not to mention your family will all require a copy. Unfortunately, printing  your thesis at home will be very time consuming. Plus, it will not supply you with the same, clean printing that you receive from a professional print service. Additionally, the presentation options for your thesis are very limited at home. With a print service, you can ensure that they will add that final, sleek touch of professionalism to your academic work. You’re almost at the end, so don’t stumble at the finish line! Make sure you organize to have your thesis printed and bound with one of the many printing services before the deadline.

How to Choose Good Printing Services

First, you need to decide whether to use a print shop in town, or an online print shop. Once this is decided, your hunt for the perfect print shop begins. Follow the guide below, and you’ll have your printed and bound thesis in your hands, faster than you can say ‘printing’.

Consultation: You have many decisions to make and it might feel overwhelming! You need to decide on which paper to use, whether you should print double-sided and so on. A high-quality printing store will supply you with the information to make these decisions and they should always be willing to answer any questions you may have. Online printing stores will do this through their website, so be sure to invest some time in reading about your options and send them an email if you’re unsure.

Range: Search for a print shop that offers you a wide range of options. If you’re printing multiple copies of your thesis, you don’t want to be forced into purchasing the most expensive binding for all of them because the print shop doesn’t offer any others. Additionally, your print shop of choice should offer add-ons such as embossing, corner protectors and ribbons. You don’t write a thesis every day, so you should be able to go ‘all out’ if you decide to!

Quality: Don’t forget to check out the type of paper that your selected store uses for printing. You should be given the option to use a higher quality type of paper. Most print services use 80 g/m2 paper by default, but it is quite thin and not suitable for double-sided printing. 100 g/m2 paper is much sturdier and is used as BachelorPrint’s default paper type. It’s recommended that you look for print services that use 100 g/m2 paper as their default. This way, you won’t have to pay extra for it.

Reviews: Most importantly, your chosen printing store should have great reviews. Don’t settle with 4 stars! Thoroughly read the reviews and ensure that this store will supply you  with nothing but the highest-quality dissertation printing and binding. Think about the hard work that’s gone into writing and editing your thesis – you wouldn’t want a last minute printing error to shine in your spotlight!

Advantages of Online Printing

Online print services offer you a range of benefits that in-store printing services simply cannot supply you with. Is your local printing store busy because every student is hurriedly printing their theses there? Or maybe you want your thesis in your hands as soon as possible, but the printing shops aren’t open until Monday? With online printing services, you can place your order from the comfort of your couch – morning or night, whenever you feel like it.

Online print services like BachelorPrint are open 24/7 and thanks to the short production times, your freshly printed and beautifully bound thesis will be in your hands before you know it.
