As many of you know Marathon Press, has for many years been the choice for professional photographers across the USA. For about the last 15 years, we have also developed a niche providing high-quality, white-label book production for some of the biggest names in the print-on-demand photo book industry.
By utilizing HP Siteflow, the same automated workflow system we use to ingest large amounts of daily orders for several photo book companies, we can now offer a similar service for our customers wanting to produce their own book projects
MadeByMarathon.com is designed for experienced print professionals, brokers, design firms, and independent photographers & publishers with ongoing full color book printing needs.
1. Start with Just One Book
Whether you’re creating a proof copy, testing the waters with your first publication, or preparing a personalized gift, ordering a single book lets you see exactly what your finished product will look and feel like. A common use is to order one copy for pre-sales purposes to help determine a bulk order quantity that makes financial sense. It’s your first step in a low-risk, high-reward publishing process—one that’s entirely on your terms.
2. Standardized Sizes, Streamlined Production, Best Pricing
We know that quality and affordability matter. That’s why we offer a curated set of standardized book sizes, paper and binding options, thoughtfully chosen to meet the needs of many of the projects we routinely produce at Marathon. This focused approach allows us to maintain the highest production standards while streamlining manufacturing—and passing the savings directly to you.
From perfect-bound paperbacks to hardcover editions, our formats are designed for both print quality and cost efficiency. With fewer variables to juggle, you spend less time making technical decisions and more time focused on what really matters: your content.
Looking for more fancy techniques and embellishments on your project? Don’t worry! For books with extra specifications beyond this, we still handle special edition projects here.
3. Print-on-Demand
You can use the service for a bulk order of books, but you can also consider the option of “Print on Demand”. We can set up your project to only print and ship an order once you’ve sold the book. Marathon’s print-on-demand system means you don’t necessarily need to order inventory in bulk or manage fulfillment logistics. When someone orders your book, we will print it, package it, and ship it—automatically. It’s the ideal solution for independent publishers, photographers, brands, and anyone looking to publish without hassle or overhead.
Ready to Begin?
Please feel free to contact me, Martin Pugh, to schedule a free 20 minute phone conversation to discuss your project. As we are now handling initial orders through this workflow, there are sure to be some questions and details to discuss that I haven’t covered here. I welcome the chance to discuss your needs!
