One of the biggest decisions in book production is whether to print traditionally with offset or to use print on demand (POD). Both have strengths, and the right fit depends on your project’s needs, budget, and timing. At Bridgeport National Bindery, we specialize in POD and digital book manufacturing, but we know publishers often weigh offset as part of their strategy. Here’s how the two compare.

Print-on-demand (POD) is changing the way publishers, institutions, and businesses bring books to market. From eliminating inventory risk to enabling faster turnaround and sustainable production, POD offers flexibility that traditional printing can’t match. Discover how Bridgeport National Bindery helps professionals leverage POD for quality, efficiency, and long-term success.

Every year since 1990, we like to celebrate our own brand of creativity by designing a company t-shirt. BNB’s 2025 shirt says it all: “Read books. Be kind. Stay weird.” This year’s design is printed in bold black and yellow on a classic heather gray tee—a simple backdrop for a statement that resonates with who we are and what we do.
