A printing house with an 80‑year history
We print children’s books, booklets and books for publishers — in any language. In-house production in Kharkiv: offset printing, binding, die-cutting and stamping.
In-house production in Kharkiv. Printing, bindery, die-cutting and hot-foil stamping — all under one roof.
We work with publishers: you send a print-ready file, we print, bind and hand over the finished run. The language of the edition makes no difference.
Our clients include Ranok Publishing, ESHKO, Svitlofor, government bodies and educational institutions.
What we print
The three product lines our production is built on. The full range is in the “Products” section.
Children’s books
Board books, booklets, entire series of 20 titles. The same illustrations, different language versions — only the printing plate carrying the text changes.

Offset printing pays off with volume. These are the quantities at which the price per copy becomes favourable.
| Product | Cost-effective from | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Children’s board books | 1,000 per title | Usually as a series: for example, 20 titles at 1,000–2,000 copies of each language version |
| Saddle-stitched booklets | 1,000 | Ideally, several titles of 3,000 each |
| Perfect binding | 2,000 | Magazines, catalogues, softcover editions |
| Hardcover (case binding) | 1,000 | Ideally, 1,000–3,000 copies |
| A few hundred copies | — | Not cost-effective on offset. We would recommend digital printing, and we can do the binding for you |
We calculate the exact price for your specifications: format, page count, paper, cover.
What sets a printing house apart from a desktop printer
We do stamping, die-cutting and varnishing in-house, so we can take on non-standard editions.
Our strengths
Deadlines
Publishers supply children’s books to retail chains, where late delivery incurs penalties. That is why, for us, deadlines are not something to aim for but a term of the contract.
Capacity
Up to 700,000 children’s books a year. In our best months, up to 100,000 copies.
Any language
We print from the publisher’s print-ready files. Ukrainian, English, Moldovan — it makes no difference to production.
Honest quotes
Every specification, down to the paper weight, is fixed in the contract. The price does not change during the job.
From artel to printing house
The company has changed names and products, but it has never stopped working with paper.
An artel and lithography
It all began with an artel (a workers’ cooperative) where printing was still done lithographically — from stone.
Blank paper goods and art products
Notepads, notebooks and school exercise books went out by the wagonload all over the Soviet Union.
Toy blocks, games and books with movable pictures
We were among the first to make books with movable pictures and board games with our own playing pieces.
A printing house for publishers
For more than 30 years now we have been printing to order: children’s books, booklets, magazines, books.
