- Textbooks
- Technical books
- Educational books & workbooks
- Technical documents & manuals
- Training materials
- Research reports
- Academic publications
- Reference books & handbooks
TEXTBOOK DESIGN & TYPESETTING
Chapter structures, learning objectives, exercises, figures, tables and references, built on a page system that stays consistent across hundreds of pages and is ready for the next edition.
TECHNICAL DOCUMENT DESIGN
Manuals, procedures and specifications designed to work when someone is under pressure: clear numbering, step sequences, warnings and tables that always look and behave the same way.
TRAINING MATERIALS & WORKBOOKS
Participant guides, facilitator manuals, workbooks and course modules for print, PDF or interactive ebook, consistent across a full programme.
RESEARCH REPORTS & ACADEMIC PUBLICATIONS
From a thesis to a finished book, or a research report for funders and partners, with references, notes, tables and figures carried through design intact.
Free initial consultations with no obligation.
SERVICE 02
Corporate & Commissioned Publishing
Publications that represent your organization.
Annual reports, sustainability reports, corporate books and commissioned publications often have many stakeholders, a lot of content and deadlines that can't move. We bring the editorial, design and production work together so the publication stays consistent from the first page to the last.
- Annual reports
- Sustainability reports
- Corporate reports
- Corporate & business books
- Commissioned books
- Company history & anniversary books
- Thought leadership books
- Event & association publications
Annual Report Design & Production
Designed for the reader who scans the highlights and the one who reads every note: clear highlights, readable financial tables, charts and photography, managed through proofs to print and digital files.
Sustainability & Corporate Reports
Data-heavy reports given a clear structure, readable tables and charts, and consistent terminology from the executive summary to the appendices.
Company History & Anniversary Books
Archival photographs, interviews and timelines shaped into a book worth keeping, with the editorial care and print finishing a milestone deserves.
Business & Thought Leadership Publications
Books by founders and executives, association publications and event programmes, designed to represent your organization and produced to your date.
Share your timeline and we’ll help plan the project from there. Free initial consultations with no obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? Contact us!
-
Corporate publishing services help organizations produce publications under their own name — annual reports, corporate books, training materials and research. A publishing team handles editing, design, typesetting and production so the result is accurate, on-brand and delivered on time.
-
Textbook publishing covers editing, designing a page system for chapters, exercises, figures and tables, typesetting every page, proofing and producing print and digital editions. Planning the structure first is what keeps a long textbook consistent and easy to revise.
-
Yes. Technical publishing turns specialist content — manuals, procedures, specifications, technical books — into clear, consistently formatted documents. We design numbering systems, callouts, tables and figures so readers can find and follow information quickly.
-
Typesetting sets the content onto the page: text, headings, tables, figures and notes, with careful control of spacing, line breaks and page breaks. In complex documents it is what makes page 300 as clean and consistent as page 3.
-
Book design decides how a publication looks and works: the grid, typefaces, heading styles and how tables and figures behave. Typesetting applies that design to every page of the real content. Complex publications need both, done by people who work together.
-
Consistent headings and numbering, a table of contents, styled tables and charts, readable body text, page numbering, headers and footers, and a clean export to PDF or print. We can start from your Word document or existing template.
-
Yes. Most projects start from Word documents, and we can build on a previous edition or brand template. Scanned or older documents can be converted to editable text first.
-
Yes — we agree the date at the start and plan the schedule backwards from it, including proof rounds and printing time. The earlier we see the content, the more flexibility we have.
-
Yes. Foglio works with organizations, publishers, universities, associations and professional firms, either on the whole project or on specific stages such as design and typesetting.
-
Yes. We handle sensitive material securely and are happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement before we see your files.
