In need of personalized book printer

[jpo]

Hello, we're new here, and hope this is the appropriate place to post this. We have a book series that we had on an app and now would like to print out as books. The stories are personalized children's books (meaning they have the child's name in the story as variable data). We are looking a printer who can print these books. The cover will be same and all the pages and content will be the same except where the [Name] field is & this will be filled in with the personalized child's name in each one, and then the printer would send it to the person who ordered the book. We've seen many examples of books like this (soft cover, about 30 color pages) for sale online for $10 to $20. Most, if not all, of the orders will come from the U.S.
We'd love any input as to who to reach out to for this type of printing.
Or, if we're totally off base in this, how are others printing these personalized books and what should we do differently?
Thank you in advance!

Try contacting Rose Printing Company in Tallahasse, Florida. They are relatvely close to you and specialize is book printing especially short runs. The personalization might be a challenge but I know they have handled these types of jobs before. They have a web page.

You can create these books using a VDP application. Jet Letter's PSL PageBuilder can be used to create completely personalized books. As it will generate print ready PDFs you can create the project inhouse and send out the files to be printed.

Can easily be done on a digital sheet feed printer with embedded variable in PDF file(s). I was doing these 12 years ago so it should be easy to find someone who can do it all inline as we did.
