Mixam went out of their way to make sure our order went through in a timely manner and helped fix issues with formatting. We had a classroom full of excited and proud kindergarteners looking through their hard work. Thank you again.
Great Product, Needs More Shipping Options
4 days ago [ Hardcover Books]
The final product was great! I wish the company offered a next day Saturday shipping option because I needed my order by a certain day (a Monday) but only a next day shipping option was offered. This option only allowed the package to be delivered on the next business day. Because of production delays (which is totally understandable), my order was shipped on a Friday, and I needed the package prior to Monday. Because I was only offered next day shipping instead of next day Saturday shipping, I was delayed in getting my package.
Easy to use and great customer service…

Easy to use and great customer service when I had questions. Our product arrived on-time and looks good! I appreciated the number of options (paper quality and binding) available. Would definitely use them again.
Need to print a book? Use Mixam!
5 days ago [ Hardcover Books]
We recently needed samples of our brand-new books rush printed before an upcoming convention. After much research, I settled on Mixam. It was an easy process from beginning to end, and the friendly, patient team at Mixam assisted me in fixing our files according to the print specifications. I was concerned that our books wouldn't arrive in time, but even after the delay on my end with providing new files, the books were delivered on the exact day quoted — less than two weeks after I placed the order! Plus, the print quality of the books was even better than I expected. I'd like to give a HUGE thank you to Mixam, and I'll absolutely be using their services in the future. Cheers!

Great quality and service!

Cover quality and print quality of pages is excellent! Staff was very responsive. There were just a few things to learn about the automatic computer-generated pre-flight process. Everyone loves their books!
Excellent Printing and Service
1 week ago [ Hardcover Books]
This has been my third or fourth time ordering from Mixam and I always recommend them! Their quality is great, customer service is extremely helpful and they helped me see a mistake in the book before it was printed so I was able to fix it. Our yearbook turned out great thanks to their excellent printing!
Quality is ALWAYS excellent.

Quality is ALWAYS excellent. There is the occasional confusion on turn-around.
School Yearbook
2 weeks ago [ Hardcover Books]
This was my first time creating a school yearbook and the material I had to work with came in many different formats and sizes - after doing my best with the easy creator and sending it in, Mixam took the time to make the necessary changes (mostly with the margins) and made it all look much more professional (of course, I had to approve their suggested changes). All in all, easy to use, great value, and I was very satisfied with the final product - quality, colour, etc..

Quality and Price is Great

The quality of their hardcover book is great. Better than expected! Pricing was fair and customer support and follow up is professional. Not automated but real people. Will definitely order from them again.
Digital printing at good pricing
2 weeks ago [ Hardcover Books]
This was quite easy. Upload, approve and go. My books were here early and looked amazing. Very easy to use web-interface. I did not have to call or micro manage anything or anybody. Finally someone achieved quick, high quality digital printing at good pricing! Will use MIXAM again.
Customer service was very helpful.

Would order again!
3 weeks ago [ Hardcover Books]
I had a great experience! I ordered 5 hardcover books for my art thesis exhibition. It was really easy to upload my premade book layout from InDesign into the Mixam website. The team worked with me to have the order arrive sooner than the estimated date (which was above and beyond my expectations, especially on such short notice!) The books arrived in great shape and the quality seems sturdy and clean. It’s very professional looking and everyone who came to the exhibition opening absolutely loved the books! Overall I’m really thrilled and happy with my purchase and I’d love to order again in the future.
Very impressed
3 weeks ago [ Hardcover Books]
I published a hardcover book (80 pages) and the quality was amazing. I was very impressed with how easy it was to use the website and put pages where I wanted them. My biggest frustration was cover design. They do a great job with letting you know the size of cover and spine and extra bleed space- but it needed to be in 3 separate files. I had one file for the entire cover. Once I was able to get in contact with someone, they easily switched the requirement to a single cover spread and updated my file to accept that single spread. It was so seamless. The only thing that kept me from a 5 star was that they were not super responsive to the messaging service. That was a slow process. Calling turned out to be much more efficient- but two times that I called during business hours, could not contact a person. But when they did answer, they were very knowledgable and helpful. I have published one other book elsewhere and this service and product were superior.
Info for file setup

Print File Setup

How to upload your files

 You can upload your files in a way that suits you - as single pages or spreads, individual files for each page, or as a single combined file.

Important - your cover

 Your cover is made up of four pages - a front cover, an inside front cover, a back cover, and an inside back cover.

Bleed

 We ask for a 0.125" bleed on all family history books. Please do not include any important content within this area.

Binding

 The binding options available for family history books are: saddle stitched or stapled, and perfect bound.

Please note:

 These available binding options are entirely dependent upon the number of pages and paper weight selected for your order. This is because there comes a point where the combined paper thickness is too much to effectively staple or stitch together, and will instead need to be held together by adhesive (otherwise known as 'perfect binding').

 The opposite is true if there are too few pages for perfect binding to work. Our dynamic ordering system is smart enough to know when a limit has been reached, and will automatically switch to the required binding option.

Spine (for Perfect Binding)

 If you choose perfect binding you have the option to upload the spine as a separate print file. The spine depth is calculated and displayed in the shopping cart. If you do not upload a print file for your spine it will be left blank.

 The spine will also need a 0.125" bleed at the top and bottom.

Completing your order

 Before you can complete your order, you must make sure all page placeholders have been completed. For example, if you are ordering 32 pages, all 32 boxes must be filled. If you do not have enough content, you must add blank pages.
