An indication of costs for printing large quantities of Book Dash books
If you have budget to buy or fund books in large quantities, (10,000+) you can have a look at the standard print cost estimates below before emailing us at team@bookdash.org with your formal quote request.

Use the figures above as an indication of cost for your required quantity; Book Dash will request an official quote from the printer before confirmation of your order.
Have a look at the two scenarios below as practical examples:
- 10,000 books of 1 title (book): 10,000 x R15.00 per copy = R150,000 (ex-VAT)
- 50,000 books of 5 different titles (books): 50,000 x R14.00 per copy = R700,000 (ex-VAT)
The figures above are based on Book Dash managing the whole print project on your behalf, and also includes management of the delivery. It’s important to note that the delivery cost is not included. We suggest adding R1 per book as an estimate of freight costs.
The minimum print order is 10,000 books. If you need a smaller quantity you can:
- buy books from stock, or
- take advantage of our annual R15 stock sales by subscribing to our newsletter or by following us on social media, or
- email us at team@bookdash.org to discuss joining another planned print-run to bring costs down, or
- print your chosen quantity of any of the Book Dash books by following the Open Content Partner guidelines.
