Custom Course Publications

Here at Printing Industries Press, we’re proud to offer hundreds of publications on a wide variety of graphic communications industry-related topics. We have always been happy to deliver educators like you the most relevant titles for your graphic communications courses.

With that in mind, Printing Industries Press is pleased to partner with instructors to create custom publications for your courses—so you can get just the material you need for your specific classroom setting. Now you can be sure you have exactly the material you need to instruct your graphic arts students. And those students will thank you for only needing to stuff one book into a backpack where several used to be required.

Browse through our publications by topic and select relevant books to view their chapter listings. Then select the content you want to include in your custom publication. When you’re done selecting content, submit the form, and one of our editors will contact you to discuss the construction and pricing of your custom publication and the steps necessary to get the title into your campus bookstore and available for your students.

View a small sample custom course publication on flexography here to see how it all comes together.
