Once you have completed the steps to prepare your yearbook pages, submit all of your materials, along with your completed Production Form, for printing. Once we receive your book, we will preflight for potential problems. If you are submitting PDF files, you will have sent in test files immediately after receiving the PDF Creation Guide Instructions.
PRODUCTION FORM
Completely fill out and sign the Production Form. We cannot begin processing your book without it! If you have copyrighted information in your book, submit written verifiable permission for use with your Production Form.
SEND IN YOUR BOOK
When your book is collected or PDF is created, save your files to the following media: CD, DVD or USB drive.
ITEMS TO SEND:
A completed Production Form. One or more CDs, DVDs or USB drives holding your digital layout files, all image files, and any custom
fonts (only if submitting a non-PDF book).
If you chose to create a PDF of your book, include the PDF file(s) on the CD, DVD or USB drive. A printed hard copy should also be submitted for our in-house proofing. Custom covers must be submitted in the completed custom cover Envelope by February 3 (for yearbooks shipping before June 30). For Fall delivery yearbooks (delivered by December 31), cover files must be submitted by August 1.
All digital books will be screened upon arrival to ensure you have followed our guidelines. Any problems and charges will be noted, and we will call you to discuss how to resolve the problems. We reserve the right to return any digital job which does not follow our specifications.
Please note that in the event a hard copy is submitted and there is a discrepancy between the hard copy and the digital file, the digital file will be considered to be the correct version of the document.
BOOK PROOF
You should keep a copy of the digital files you submit. If you would like a proof, arrange this ahead of time so your book can be scheduled accordingly. Proofs are $.50 per page (minimum of $25) plus shipping.
Receiving a proof of the book adds 2 weeks to production time.

Allow up to 5 business days for delivery. Delivery dates are based on reservation or by available dates if no advance reservation is in place.
