Comparison of book costing in bookbinding – which form of binding, print run and printing is most optimal

The key task or objective of the diploma thesis was to determine which is the most optimal book costing in bookbinding, which form of binding and print run is most optimal, and to compare the costings with each other. They wanted to determine which type of costing is most optimal – they compared hardcover and softcover binding of books, they also compared softcover print runs but for different print runs, they also compared hardcover binding for different print runs, and made a comparison of costing between single-colour and multi-colour printing for identical print runs. The results obtained through the preparation of costings using the ** Admera VCS** operating system showed which book costings are most optimal.

Problem

The key task or objective of the diploma thesis was to determine which is the most optimal book costing in bookbinding, which form of binding and print run is most optimal, and to compare the costings with each other.

Results

They wanted to determine which type of costing is most optimal – they compared hardcover and softcover binding of books, they also compared softcover print runs but for different print runs, they also compared hardcover binding for different print runs, and made a comparison of costing between single-colour and multi-colour printing for identical print runs. The results obtained through the preparation of costings using the Admera VCS operating system showed which book costings are most optimal. If we summarise the findings, we can see that the most optimal costing is achieved if we opt for single-colour printing of larger print runs of softcover books.
