There are important factors to consider when choosing your yearbook provider.
A lot of companies claim to be expert providers of this product but do not have the capabilities to manufacture every part of your yearbook or, if any of it – behind the scene they outsource to third party suppliers.
Using this type of supplier, raises the questions of overall quality control. Who takes the financial and remedial responsibility if problems occur? This may result in additional costs passed on to you the customer, and delayed delivery of your yearbooks for distribution to your students.
The fact is a vast number of printing companies fall into this category, they outsource part, or all of the yearbook project to third party suppliers.
In contrast to other companies we are a genuine yearbook manufacturer, we have total control of your valued yearbook project from beginning to end, product is monitored through our quality assurance process, delivering products of the highest standard. With total control of your project we also have the flexibility to meet the delivery of projects with tight deadlines.
All our manufacturing process from design, printing, binding, packing and dispatch are carried out under one roof, using the latest technologies, operated by our highly skilled and experienced team.
We offer a 100% Guarantee – customer satisfaction is our mandate.
Academy is offering a new product addition to its line-up of yearbooks. In addition to the professionally bound softcover yearbooks, Academy Yearbooks is now manufacturing affordable and beautifully case-bound hardcover yearbooks.
These hardcover yearbooks are intended to serve as special keepsakes for
● Year 12 students ● Library copies ● Special school anniversary edition ● Displayed in the school reception area for marketing purposes ● Special gift for retiring staff members, the yearbook committee, principal and deputy principals.
This new offering allows schools to place orders for hardcover yearbooks, either in small quantities (even just one copy) or as many as they require. These hardcover yearbooks are added to the regular bulk print order of the softcover yearbooks. The aim is to provide a more premium and lasting option for those interested in preserving their memories in a more prestigious and durable format.
For more details about this new product, including pricing, customisation options, and ordering procedures, interested schools are encouraged to get in touch with the Academy Yearbooks for further information.
It’s a thoughtful and versatile addition to the Academy’s product range that caters to different needs and occasions.

Together, we have now created five outstanding College magazines which both our College community and I are proud of. Having been asked to produce and edit the College’s magazine was an enormous responsibility given to me and one that I have enjoyed immensely. Thankfully, John, Mardi and the team at Academy School Photography and Production made my life easier, by guiding me through the process, offering expert creative advice and ideas, but most importantly, they listened to and encouraged my vision.

I have worked closely with Academy Printing over the past four years producing our annual College Yearbook. During this time I have enjoyed an excellent working relationship with our designated Graphic Designers who have employed exemplary communication skills and understood implicitly the direction of each project. The creative vision, skill and attention to detail of the team at Academy Printing have seen our Yearbook draw praise from all stakeholders and the broader community. Our Yearbook has been utilised as a highly effective marketing tool in the domestic and global marketplace, as well as a wonderful pictorial record for our college community. I have been truly proud of the high quality of the end product each year and have been thoroughly impressed with the timely delivery and competitive rates that Academy Printing offer. I strongly recommend Academy Printing and look forward to our continued collaboration in 2021 and beyond.

I have been very fortunate to work with Academy over the past 3 years. During that time, we have worked on the design, and print of 4 Chanel College Yearbooks. Academy have been amazing in all aspects of the process, the support and communication throughout the design and print are faultless. Academy have delivered exceptional designs on all 4 Yearbooks, have been able to accommodate difficult deadlines and then produce exceptional quality in print. I am very grateful to be working with a highly experienced and very capable design and print company, and would highly recommend.

St Patrick’s College has been working in conjunction with Academy Printing for over ten years now. I work closely with Mardi whose creativity and excellent design work contribute to producing our annual College Magazine. The ease of the ownCloud program for uploading of materials and proofs makes producing the magazine simple. I would recommend Academy Printing always and look forward to our continued working partnership into 2022 and beyond. Thanks Mardi and John

From receiving your print ready PDF file to final delivery it takes approximately 20 working days.
This time also includes the proofing stage; we will supply you with two printed and bound books for your approval prior to printing the bulk order.
(5 days for printed proof books to be processed delivered and approved) then 15 working days from approval of printed proof book for print and delivery turnaround time.
If Academy is contacted to do the layout and design of your yearbook then additional time will be required. We will supply you with a detailed production timeline that indicates key target dates.
Bulk of materials supplied date, last of material supply date, final authors correction date, final proof sign off date, these dates are formulated working back from the required delivery date.
There is no specific requirement of the number of pages in your yearbook, this can range from 20 – 300 pages.
The number of pages is defined by the amount of material to be included, and the layout and design style, and the font formatting size used for the text.
Smaller Schools with fewer faculties average 50 – 80 pages, medium sized Schools 80 – 140 pages, and larger Schools/Colleges somewhere around 140 – 240 pages.
As standard, we recommend 310gsm art board for the cover and 128gsm art paper for the internal pages.
We also embellish the outer cover with either a Gloss or Matt finish film lamination, giving the cover added durability and high-quality finish.
Internal pages are printed on a high quality art paper which can be gloss or silk finish paper.
Both finishes of paper are available weights of 128gsm and 150gsm.
Our paper stocks have post recycled content and are sourced for their carbon neutral status from paper mills that have RFP-Responsible Forestry Practices.
Your yearbook will be professionally bound with a square back spine finish using special formulated strong bonding adhesives, one specifically for the hinge side glue and the other for the spine glue area. In addition we side lock the text blocks prior to binding; this guarantees your books are archival and pages will not dislodge over time. This process is not included by other suppliers.

Our experienced, highly skilled and dedicated graphic design team, can creatively layout your school’s content, combined with design elements producing an engaging and cohesive publication, incorporating your school’s branding, culture, achieving a distinctive personalised product that will be treasured for years to come.
With every yearbook we design for you, you receive a dedicated qualified Graphic Designer assigned to your yearbook project. Every yearbook is unique and tailored to suit your needs. The qualified Graphic Designer communicates directly with you on all aspects of the layout, design and artwork preparation phase of the project. This makes the process run smoothly and saves you time!
This comes down to the material you have and the style of book you prefer, some yearbooks are text heavy with fewer images, and others completely the opposite, overall yearbooks tend to have higher proportion of space allocated to images.
If the layout is to feature a report with a few images, we suggest 300 words for a single page and 500 words for a double-page spread.
If the layout requires featuring lots of images then again dependent on the design style chosen, a page can display 8-10 good-sized images with minimal amount of text included.
The project management of a yearbook can feel like an overwhelming task and a tough mountain to climb with all the collating of the materials. We have dedicated team members and processes in place that ensure you are assisted every step of the way, making the process stress-free.
We appreciate that not every image supplied can be from a professional camera, we have to be flexible with images supplied.
It’s important to understand that if the image is relatively low resolution then it will have to be placed in a fairly small size on the page. If it’s enlarged it will print pixelated, looking soft and grainy, losing definition.
Absolutely yes, this is important as it saves considerable amount of time that would have to be spent on typo author’s corrections at the final stages of proofing, which may cause delays in meeting the scheduled sign off date.
