Permanent Sleep Press handles every stage of production — from digital pre-press setup to hardcover binding — so your work reaches readers in its best form.
Local expertise, hands-on service, and a real commitment to print quality.
We handle every stage from digital pre-press setup and proofing to hardcover case binding. Independent authors get a single point of contact, not a handoff between separate vendors. Each title is inspected for registration accuracy and binding strength before it leaves our workshop.
Our paper stock includes recycled and FSC-certified options without upcharge for short runs. We advise on grain direction, weight, and finish based on your project’s actual use — a poetry collection needs different paper than a corporate brochure, and we treat that distinction as standard.
We build bespoke layouts for illustrated books, limited editions, and complex catalogues. Our pre-press team works in InDesign and Affinity Publisher, not drag-and-drop builders. You get multiple revision rounds and a print-ready file that matches your original intent, not a generic grid.
We accept runs as low as 25 copies for perfect-bound books and 50 for hardcover. This makes self-publishing viable for local authors who don’t need pallets of inventory. Digital and offset options are quoted side by side so you can choose based on quantity, not guesswork.
Every quote breaks down pre-press, paper, printing, binding, and finishing separately. We don’t hide setup fees or minimums in fine print. If a project requires a special stock or a non-standard trim size, we explain the cost impact before you commit.
We’ve produced catalogues for County Offaly retailers, conference programmes for Tullamore events, and debut novels for first-time authors. Our clients return because we answer the phone, meet deadlines, and treat every job as a reference piece.

Absolutely. We offer short-run digital printing for quantities as low as 10 copies. This is ideal for proofing, limited editions, or pre-launch samples before committing to a larger offset run.
Digital printing is best for short runs (under 500 copies) and quick turnaround, while offset printing gives sharper detail and lower per-unit cost for larger quantities. We help you choose based on your project size and budget.
