They completely refreshed and preserved an old set of scriptures. It was a book my grandfather had…read moreread through and gave me back in 1997. The original binding was split like so many do. I asked for a design on the cover that they maybe had not done before, but they were willing to create something new for me. They kept in touch with me every step of the way, talking through options as new discoveries were uncovered along the way. Turnaround was quicker than I expected. Return shipping was carefully packaged. And the final product? The best book I have - bar none. It is gorgeous, durable, and has a remarkable/simple, but still custom design. Well worth the price. I am pleased and know this will last a lifetime.

I stumbled into this great family-owned company due to my kids' yearbooks' binding falling apart…read more I was pretty desperate in wanting to preserve their school yearbooks as I knew they would appreciate looking back on these priceless memories as they get older. Steve and his daughter Amy are the best people you'll ever meet. From the first meeting consultation, they make you instantly feel like you're a part of their family. They examined the yearbooks, let me pick out colors and details, and went immediately to work on them! The leather they used is top-quality leather. So many different options for grains, textures, and embossment! The pictures do not do it justice - their work is phenomenal and it will preserve the life of these yearbooks for many generations to come. There's no one else I will use going forward for bookbinding - whether it's antique books, custom bounded scriptures (great present for future missionaries!), or in my case, preserving yearbooks. Steve, Amy, and their family are experts in their field and have mastered this craft!

Schaffer Bindery is a fantastic local book-binding company, and I highly recommend them for binding…read moreacademic texts. They did a beautiful job binding my dissertation, which became a gift for my parents. They have a great selection of colors for the cover, as well as colors for the text on the spine and cover. If you are getting a dissertation or thesis from the U of U bound, consider skipping the expensive services offered by the bookstore or ProQuest, and check out Schaffer. The dark red cover with gold lettering looks great, and will display well. I printed my manuscript at the library and dropped it off. Schaffer did the rest, and turned my order around in less than two weeks, even during the graduation rush! Great service, please support this local business!

Anna Hansen has printmaker for nearly a decade, and for the last several years she and her partners…read morein crime (Jennifer Vitangeli; Bo and Tia Brady) have been providing us customers with nature and pop-culture-inspired designs (my personal fave being their Star Wars and Harry Potter riffs). Each piece is printed from a hand carved block on a VERY old-school, hand-cranked printing press (see my video for a snippet from Craft Lake City 2018) utilizing linoleum block carvings. And, of course, many of their designs are hexagonal in shape! They are mobile printmakers, so they're "on-the-road" a lot. Good for Utahans (and those in Maui ... can you blame them for setting up a second operation there?) they're always at local farmer's markets, craft fairs, and cool local events of all types. The best part, at least IMHO, is they can print it on anything that can go through a press: Paper, fabric, etc. Also: Don't sleep on their pre-existing items for sale: They make some stellar, leather bound journals with think, ink-sucking paper. My recommendation is to watch their FB page or Instagram to see where they'll be ... bring whatever you want printed, and see (what looks like) a semi-painstaking process of pressing designs on your stuff. They'll definitely put a hex on you, but in a good way! :)

I've used this business twice; once to spiral bind some old copies of Chopin sheet music and once…read morefor lamination. Both times I felt like they either didn't want to listen or that they didn't put much care into their work. The first visit, some of my music wasn't lined up correctly when put through the hole puncher (see picture). Now they can't be properly bound and the edge is shredded. I didn't notice it when I picked it up as I had several stacks of music, and they just charged me all the same and never mentioned the mistake. I was disappointed. The second time I stopped in, I needed to laminate a bunch of cards. They grabbed them as soon as I said the word "laminate" and headed for the machine without letting me explain. Fortunately, I saw what they were doing and I stopped them before they could send them through. She was preparing to do the job with really light weight plastic, but what I needed was a really stiff card. When I tried to tell her, she didn't seem to want to listen and tried to convince me to just do it her way. I ended up just asking for my cards back and going 1/2 mile south to the FedEx/Kinkos. They did exactly what I needed and it cost 1/4 what I was quoted at this place. I like supporting independent shops, but only if I can get similar service and prices as the big guys. I don't feel like that's been my experience here, so I'll probably take all my business to FedEx from here on out.

I live in Taylorsville and pass quite a few copy centers but I would go to NOT JUST COPIES no matter where I lived! I totally recommend them. They deserve TEN STARS!! Had a project this weekend & NOT JUST COPIES came through for me again!!! I called late Saturday afternoon. I needed color copies, cut & laminated. I got an email saying my order was ready just after 5 pm. They look perfect & I wish I could give Kristine a big tip for going about & beyond especially during this crisis!! I wish I could give them 10 stars!!!
