Back to Top About Imprinting Who ever throws away a printed book? More often they are recommended, passed along, displayed, or in times of change, packed and moved along with a person's most cherished possessions. An Applewood book with your name or your organization's name or logo on it is sure to find an honored place on the desk, bookshelf, side table, or coffee table of anyone who receives one. Imagine the longevity of your message stamped in gold on a timeless classic book.
How it Works Applewood offers imprinting and personalization services for many of the books in our list. Our minimum quantity for imprinting is 100 copies of the same imprint. We create a zinc die from single color art with no halftone and stamp in gold on one side of the book in an area of 1.5" high by 2.5" wide. We do not charge for the die, but we charge $1.50/book. If you are interested in having us imprint books for you, please call us at 800-277-5312.
