Recycled Paper Cookbook Printing

Eco Friendly Printer prints cookbooks on 100% post-consumer recycled, FSC-certified paper with soy-based inks. We print short runs for self-publishers and full runs for trade titles.

A cookbook needs to stay open on a kitchen counter while someone cooks from it. That affects the binding and the paper weight, and we will go over the options with you before the book goes to press.

Binding

Lay-flat bindings are the most practical choice for a cookbook because the pages stay open without being held. We print both softcover and hardcover editions.

Paper

Food photography prints best on a coated stock. We offer coated recycled papers that handle color photography well, along with uncoated recycled stocks for books that are mostly text.

For other titles, see book printing.

How ordering works

Send us the trim size, page count, quantity and binding you have in mind, or tell us about the book and we will recommend a specification. Cookbooks are quoted per title.

What binding works best for a cookbook?

A lay-flat binding lets the book stay open on the counter. We will explain the lay-flat options for your page count when you request a quote.
