The Pennsauken, NJ Book Printing Company is Reviving South Jersey's Printing Legacy While Raising the Standard for Modern Book Production
PENNSAUKEN, N.J., March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- OnPress Book Printing today announced a significant expansion of its book manufacturing capabilities for 2026, reinforcing its commitment to high-quality, digitally driven production at a time when much of the publishing industry has shifted toward low-cost, commodity print models.
Designed to serve authors, publishers, associations, business, educational organizations, and high-volume content producers, OnPress continues to invest in advanced equipment, skilled labor, and streamlined production systems that deliver both speed and uncompromising quality.
A Different Model for a Changing Publishing Landscape
While many print providers focus on the lowest possible unit cost, OnPress Book Printing is built around a manufacturing philosophy centered on product quality, production reliability, and long-term value for publishers.
For 2026, the company is expanding its end-to-end digital production platform to support:
- G7-certified color accuracy across all short-run and print-on-demand titles
- High-coverage digital printing ideal for image-rich books and premium covers
- Expanded finishing capabilities, including Smyth-sewn hardcovers and lay-flat formats
- Faster production timelines for both bulk orders and direct-to-consumer fulfillment
- API-driven ordering and reordering, enabling seamless integration with publisher systems
Reviving a Historic Printing Hub
Just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, Pennsauken, New Jersey was once a thriving center of American printing — home to generations of press operators, bindery specialists, and manufacturing teams who helped power the region's publishing economy.
As the industry consolidated and off-shored production over the past two decades, much of that manufacturing footprint disappeared.
OnPress Book Printing is proud to be helping bring it back.
By investing in modern equipment, skilled labor, and long-term infrastructure, the company is contributing to the resurgence of advanced manufacturing in South Jersey while creating new opportunities for skilled production careers in the region.
"This region has a deep heritage in print manufacturing," said Jim Foley, President, OnPress Book Printing. "We're proud to be building on that legacy while creating new jobs and training opportunities for the next generation of press operators, bindery technicians, and production specialists."
Built on Industrial-Grade Manufacturing Technology
At the core of the OnPress Book Printing facility is a modern digital book manufacturing platform built around industry-leading equipment, including Xeikon digital presses for high-coverage color production, Hunkeler and Muller Martini automated finishing systems, and Meccanotecnica binding lines capable of producing durable, library-quality books at scale.
This integrated production environment allows OnPress to deliver exceptional consistency across both short-run and high-volume titles, while maintaining the flexibility publishers need for modern print workflows.
Manufacturing at Scale—Without Sacrificing Craft
Every title printed at OnPress — whether a single copy or thousands — is produced using calibrated G7 certified color systems, publishing-grade paper stocks, and rigorous quality controls designed to ensure consistency from the first book to the last.
This approach allows OnPress Book Printing to support a wide range of publishing programs, including:
- Backlist and reprint programs for independent publishers
- Association and education publishing
- Corporate and marketing projects
- Yearbook printing
- Direct-to-consumer publishing models
- High-quality illustrated and specialty books
Looking Ahead
As demand grows for reliable, high-quality American book manufacturing, OnPress Book Printing is positioning itself as a trusted partner for publishers seeking a high-quality modern alternative to commodity print platforms.
With new investments in technology, people, and production capacity, the company is helping shape the future of American book manufacturing—while honoring the region's long-standing tradition of print craftsmanship.
