Custom Bible Printing Services from a Trusted China Factory
Durable, elegant Bibles printed on genuine Bible paper with Smyth sewn binding β serving publishers, churches, and ministries in 40+ countries since 1995.
Why Publishers and Ministries Choose Qicai for Bible Printing
A Bible is opened thousands of times over its lifetime, so every detail matters: paper that is thin yet opaque, binding that lies flat without splitting, and covers that survive decades of daily use. At Guangzhou Qicai Colour Printing Factory, Bible printing is our flagship specialty. Our 11,416 mΒ² facility in Guangzhou combines Heidelberg offset presses with dedicated sewing, gilding, and casing-in lines built specifically for high-page-count religious books.
Africa accounts for roughly 55% of our export market, and Bibles make up a major share of those shipments. We regularly produce KJV and other English editions alongside French, Portuguese, Swahili, and multilingual versions for distributors in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and beyond. From a 500-copy order of ready-made stock Bibles to a 50,000-copy custom outreach run, you work directly with the factory β no middlemen, no hidden margins.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for custom Bibles?
Our standard MOQ for custom-printed Bibles is 2,000 copies, because Bible paper and sewing lines require dedicated setup β ask us for tiered pricing on your exact specification. Need fewer? Ready-made stock Bibles start at just 500 copies β see the next question.
Do you have stock Bibles ready to ship?
Yes. Alongside custom production, we keep ready-made stock Bibles with a minimum order of only 500 copies, and stock editions ship much faster than custom runs. Request it through our contact form β just mention "Bible Stock List" in your message, and we will send the current inventory, specifications, and pricing within 24 hours.
Can you print Bibles in French or other languages?
Yes. We regularly produce French, Portuguese, and multilingual editions for African distributors. Send us your print-ready PDF (PDF/X-1a preferred, fonts embedded, 3mm bleed) and we will pre-flight it free of charge.
Can I see a sample before full production?
Absolutely. We offer digital proofs within 3β5 days, or a physical press proof whose cost is credited against your full order. For first-time clients we strongly recommend the physical proof β you can test the paper opacity, binding, and gilding in hand.
