What's harder to find is a partner who handles everything around the press — finishing your files, working through revisions in English, export paperwork, ocean freight, customs, and standing behind the result. That's what we do.
If the printing is wrong, that's on us — unconditionally.Trusted by Korea's leading companies and institutions
A press won't fix an unfinished file, join your 4 p.m. revision call, prepare export documents, clear customs or deliver to your door. And when the result is wrong, it won't take responsibility.
Not print-ready? Our in-house design team finishes them — bleed, color, layout.
Spoken where decisions get made: planning and design, not just sales.
Packing, commercial invoice, packing list and export declaration.
Booked, insured and tracked from Seoul to the United States.
Handed off at the port or carried to your door — your choice.
If the printing is wrong, that's on us. Unconditionally.
Those six things are Siha's job — one accountable team, from your file to your loading dock.
Here's what a typical US order looks like. One recent example: 7,000 copies of a 140-page, 8.5 × 11 publication — printed, bound and inspected in Seoul, packed onto three pallets, and delivered to the client's loading dock.
Freight at cost, no markup. When fuel prices rose before sailing, the carrier's surcharge appeared on the invoice as its own line, at cost. Every quote now shows that line up front.
Client name withheld. References from US clients are available on request.
Specs confirmed, itemized pricing issued, schedule agreed.
A physical sample couriered to you by air.
Printing, finishing, binding — with a press check on every job.
Busan to the US, customs and inland delivery. East Coast runs longer.
One English-speaking project lead, first email to loading dock.

Easy to verify, and not just our word. Each credential below is issued by the City of Seoul or the Korean government.
Designated for companies representing the city's competitiveness in their sector.
Designated 2026Assesses employment stability, working conditions and business fundamentals.
Designated 2024Registered on KONEPS, Korea's e-procurement system, with an active public-sector record.
ActiveConfirms we produce the printing ourselves rather than broker it.
ActiveUsually the deciding factor is the run, not the price per copy. Most freight cost is fixed per shipment — port handling and trucking cost about the same for three pallets as for one. Books, reports and catalogs in the thousands are where Korea works best. Send your specs and we'll tell you which route makes the most sense.
Plan on five to seven weeks from order to arrival: three days to quote, one week of production (three for case binding), and three to five weeks from Busan to your door. East Coast destinations sit at the longer end.
Physical proofs and paper samples by courier, a press-check report with photos and video the same day, an inspection report before release, and loading photos at departure. Nothing moves to the next stage without your sign-off.
No. Printing is a fixed price; freight is billed at what carriers charge us, itemized and confirmed at booking. If a carrier adds a fuel surcharge between quote and sailing, it appears as its own line, at cost.
If the printing is wrong — misprinting, binding failure, ink problems — we reprint or refund the affected copies, whichever shipping option you chose. Responsibility in transit follows the shipping option you choose.
No commitment. Still choosing paper or finishing? We'll help you decide.
