What are school magazines and how much do they cost to print in Kenya?
A school magazine is a printed publication that shares school news, photos and student work. Print Lion prints the pages and cover in full colour and binds them, with perfect binding, wire binding or saddle stitching to choose from. The price depends on the size and quantity, so send us your size and quantity and we will quote you. The minimum order is one magazine. Orders are ready in 1 to 2 days once your artwork is correct and approved, and we deliver to all counties in Kenya or you can collect from our office.
Three ways to bind your magazine
Choose perfect binding, wire binding or saddle stitching to suit your page count and how you want the magazine to look and open.
Full colour from cover to back page
Your photos of sports days, trips and prize giving, and your students' artwork, are printed in full colour on the pages and the cover.
Order as few or as many as you need
The minimum order is one magazine, so you can print a single copy to check it before you commit to a bigger run for the whole school.
Delivered to all counties
Delivery to all counties in Kenya is available, so a school in Kisumu or Nakuru is served just like one in Nairobi. You can also collect from our office on Moi Avenue.
You approve a proof first
We send a proof before anything is printed. Printing starts only after you approve it, so there are no surprises when the magazines arrive.
What customers say about Print Lion
Getting your artwork ready
We accept PDF, high-resolution TIFF, JPEG, PSD, and AI or other vector files. We cannot accept Word, PowerPoint, Excel or Publisher files, or Canva or Google Docs links. Images should be at least 150 DPI at final print size. CMYK and RGB are both fine, but printed colour can look different from your screen, so ask for a physical sample if exact colour matters to you. Allow a 2 mm bleed beyond the trim edge, and keep text and graphics at least 10 mm inside the trim edge. Send your files by email, WhatsApp or a shareable link. We do not offer design services, but if your file has a problem we cannot fix, we can point you to a professional designer.
Common questions
How much does it cost to print a school magazine?
The price depends on the size and quantity of your magazine. Send us your size and quantity on WhatsApp, phone or email and we will give you a quote.
What is the minimum order for school magazines?
The minimum order is one magazine. That means you can print a single copy first if you want to check it.
What binding options do you offer?
You can choose perfect binding, wire binding or saddle stitching. Tell us which you prefer when you send your size and quantity.
What size should my magazine be?
There is no fixed standard size for school magazines. Tell us the size you want, or confirm it with us before you start designing, so your pages are set up correctly.
How long does it take?
Orders are ready in 1 to 2 days once your artwork is correct and approved. Requesting a physical colour sample, or sending files that need fixing and re-approval, can add time.
Do you deliver outside Nairobi?
Yes. Delivery to all counties in Kenya is available. You can also collect your magazines from our office at 2nd Floor, Tumaini House, Moi Avenue, Nairobi.
What file types can I send?
We accept PDF, high-resolution TIFF, JPEG, PSD, and AI or other vector files. We cannot accept Word, PowerPoint, Excel or Publisher files, or Canva or Google Docs links. If you design in Canva, export a PDF and send us that instead.
What resolution, colour mode and bleed do I need?
Images should be at least 150 DPI at final print size. CMYK and RGB are both fine. Allow a 2 mm bleed beyond the trim edge, and keep text and graphics at least 10 mm inside the trim edge.
Will the printed colours match my screen?
Not always. Printed colour can look different from what you see on your screen. If exact colour matters, ask us for a physical sample before you place a full order.
Do I see a proof before you print?
Yes. We send a proof and printing starts only after you approve it. You can send your files by email, WhatsApp or a shareable link.
