The Zip Book Factory were literal HEROES in helping us get a massive order of books *rush* printed to have at a festival earlier this month. We had a team member driving through their town on her way to the event, and when we got in contact with them and shared our crazy deadline - they did absolutely everything they could to help us make it happen without question. You can feel their heart, their care, and their intention in every step of the process from start to finish - and they were a pleasure to work with. They were extremely communicative and ended up helping us meet our goal of having 250 books at the festival. The books were absolutely beautiful, and the process was seamless. Our team HIGHLY recommends Zip Book Factory for all of your printing needs! The customer service, the product, the process, the professionalism

I had 150 copies each of my two books printed by Zip Print. I am more than pleased with the excellent work by Zip Print. They made the whole process easier and very timely. The customer service was really great and response to emails were so prompt. The Zip Book Factory is by far the best place to go for excellent printing. Thanks to Bob and all the team out there. You made me really love my books ( we had a great Book launch too😊). I would definitely have my next books printed by Zip Book Factory-I highly recommend them.
