Ligare: Your one-stop shop for school diaries, workbooks and learning resources
Every book tells a story; inside Australian classrooms, those stories shape the future. From primary workbooks to secondary planners, your students’ daily tools form the foundation of their learning journey.
At Ligare Book Printers, our passion for books drives everything we do. As school business managers, curriculum coordinators, and educational buyers, you balance strict budgets with the responsibility of choosing durable, ethical resources.
We support you every step of the way, manufacturing all books from start to finish at our Sydney facility.
Carefully crafted to survive the school year
School supplies face a tough life inside overstuffed backpacks. We ensure educational materials stand the test of time using selected materials from trusted local suppliers:
- Limp sewn and case sewn options: Our specialised bindery department provides high-strength limp sewn (softcover) and case sewn (hardcover) options. Thread-sewing keeps textbooks and diaries secure, archival-safe, and perfectly flat on desks.
- Custom school diaries and planners: We offer ultra-durable wire-bound and plasticoil binding with protective covers so student diaries never lose vital pages mid-term.
- Subject notebooks and workbooks: For high-volume curriculums, our offset printing division delivers vibrant, crisp full-colour or monochrome layouts that make everyday learning highly engaging.
Committed to sustainable printing
We are 100 per cent committed to reducing our environmental footprint through active, responsible initiatives:
- Responsible forestry: We maintain strict FSC® and PEFC™ certifications, guaranteeing all paper stocks are sourced from responsibly managed forests.
- Clean chemistry and inks: We print using premium vegetable-based inks and bind with water-soluble adhesives. Our computer-to-plate systems use 90 per cent less chemistry than standard alternatives.
- Onsite paper extraction: Our onsite extraction system ensures all paper waste and offcuts are captured directly to be recycled.
- Plant-a-tree partnership: Through our partnership with Carbon Neutral’s Plant-a-Tree Conservation Program, your books help restore biodiverse habitats by planting native Australian trees and shrubs within the Yarra Yarra Corridor.
Printing that keeps pace with your school
The academic year moves fast, and enrolment numbers fluctuate. Our on-demand and digital printing department operates with industry-leading efficiency, allowing your school to adapt instantly without waiting on international freight:
- Fast local turnaround: Manufactured under one roof in Sydney, we offer exceptional production speeds. We turnaround softcover books in as little as five working days, and premium sewn hardcover books in just ten working days.
- Rapid turnaround reprints: Our in-house digital and offset print capability means rapid turnaround for reprints exactly when you require them.
