About Us

READ ME Publishing House was established in 1991 and 3 years later – in 1994 – it opened its printing house in Łódź. You could say that the passion for creating books is therefore our second nature. 30 years of experience guarantees that we can be trusted, because we know what our customers expect, and high quality of printing and binding as well as punctuality are the basis of our business.

For this reason, we are constantly modernizing our machine park. Thanks to a well-equipped bindery, we can offer a variety of bindings that meet the expectations of the reading market.

Our modern machine park

We combine technological development with care for the environment – both natural and social. This is evidenced not only by our FSC certificate, but also by our modern production solutions aimed at improving work ergonomics and saving both energy and paper.

Our Services

The basis of our products is single and multi-color printing in offset technology in full format and a variety of book bindings (compact publications), as well as binding of job-printings.

We produce books, book calendars, magazines, catalogues, brochures, folders and other bound publications.

We print in editions from 500 to 100.000 copies and larger.

We offer the following types of book bindings:

  • sewn or glued,
  • hard (full-paper or with cladding),
  • integrated,
  • brochure (also with wings),
  • notebook.

We use refinements such as:

  • foiling (laminates – gloss, matt, satin; varnish – selective and convex – 3D cover),
  • stamping,
  • staining (gilding) of the side or uncovered surfaces of the book block.

We deliver the finished product to the given address.

Examples of our projects Inquiry

Heidelberg eight-colour printing machine

Duplex printing technology significantly reduces printing time and thus reduces the energy consumption needed to produce a single sheet.

At the same time, it provides better print and color quality.

Folding machine KH 78

One of the most technically advanced sheet breaking machines. It has a professional Palamides press, which improves work at subsequent stages of production. As a result, books with high durability are created much faster.

Muller Martini Kolbus KM 610

The multifunctional paperback (brochure) machine with 20 overlay stations, wing module, triple knife and stacker allows for comprehensive and fast bookbinding work.

Our customers’ opinions

When Peter Lawrence and I began the search for a printer of our coffee table art book, Impressions of Andalucia, it was on the basis that our objective was to produce a beautiful book at an affordable price. Our ethos was to make our special journey around this spectacular region of Spain, described in paintings and prose, easily accessible. Read Me helped us achieve this objective and the book, which was delivered on schedule, is a top-quality publication. Customers have bought multiple copies for personal use and gifts. I would not hesitate to work with Read Me again. The Read Me team were professional, helpful and responsive throughout the process.

Award winning author of „Bombs and Bougainvillea, an expat in Jerusalem”
The high quality and finish of the book which READ ME printed and bound for me is commented on by all who pick it up and handle it. Impressions of Andalucia is a book of my watercolour paintings and the prose of my co-author, Linda Decker and is a pictorial travelogue around this beautiful part of Spain.  We were looking for a quality end product at a good price.  READ ME gave us both.  The printing/transportation cost was much less than quotes from the UK and other European countries and from start to finish the personal service was exemplary … courteous and efficient.  I was concerned about the accuracy of reproduction of my art and at every step the staff gave me confidence of their knowledge and technical capabilities.  I recommend READ ME without reservation.
