Who's printing it, and for how much.
We publish our supplier layer. This table pulls live base costs from the Printify provider network for each product we sell, so you can see exactly which vendors compete for your order and what production costs today. Books route through Lulu's print network.
Pick a product and hit compare. Data comes straight from the Printify catalog API — provider name, location, and base cost for a representative size.

| Books | Lulu Print API | Hardcover/softcover photo books, calendars | Free API, sandbox testing, global network, wholesale pricing, no minimums |
| Benchmarks we watch | Gelato · Printful · Prodigi | Same categories | Quarterly price/quality checks keep our primary vendors honest |
Retail prices in the shop include design work, proofing, provider base cost, and shipping handling. Base costs shown here are supplier production costs, not our retail prices.
