Graphic Concepts Printing provides on-demand digital book publishing services for KeenOwl Books in Somerset, New Jersey. KeenOwl offers “life lesson” storybooks that parents can personalize with a special dedication, a memorable photo or image, the name of the child and other story-specific information. The books can be ordered, personalized and previewed online through KeenOwl’s interactive Web site, www.keenowl.com.

KeenOwl Books and Graphic Concepts Printing have formed a partnership to provide these stories quickly to customers—not as digital downloads or Web pages, but as real, brightly colored storybooks. Books are available in two sizes (8x5" and 8x8"), with laminated covers, saddle-stitched spines and rounded corners that are perfect for small hands.

Each personalized book is printed “on demand” at the time of order. When an order is placed on the KeenOwl Web site, it is instantly sent to the digital imagepress at Graphic Concepts Printing. There, the files are downloaded and the book is printed and bound. After passing a thorough quality control inspection, the book is usually shipped to the customer within two business days.

In keeping with the two companies’ commitment to socially and environmentally responsible practices, our on-demand digital publishing service has gone “green”! All KeenOwl books are printed with vegetable dye-based inks on high-quality recycled paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. Our on-demand digital publishing service is certified by Green-e for renewable energy use. KeenOwl also donates a portion of every purchase to charitable organizations that work on behalf of children and animals.
