We can print and bind your thesis or dissertation
After a long academic journey, you have come to this point where you need to submit your dissertation or thesis. You have dedicated hours to the research and writing of your dissertation. The presentation of the document will reflect all the hard work that has gone into creating the content within it. The UM Printing Unit offers printing and binding services of dissertations and theses, both in hard and softbound formats at very competitive prices. We even offer a discounted price for UM students. Our service offers a choice of paper and bounds.
Soft Binding
Initially, you need to submit copies of your work to the faculty or department for the examiners’ review.
We can print your dissertation, single or double-sided as required, in colour or black and white. The binding will be hot glued inside a standard plastic cover (thermal binding). The front cover will be transparent, while the back cover and spine will be black cardboard.
Hard Binding
Once your dissertation or thesis is approved, you are requested to submit hard-bound copies to the faculty, and maybe even present them to other persons who helped you on your journey.
We will hard-bind in a leather-based paper your dissertation with the cover you choose from our selection. [PDF] It comes complete with a gold or silver foil print on the cover and spine.
