The Document Group has established itself as a trusted leader in Business Document Services, providing high-speed black-and-white digital printing solutions to companies across various industries, including engineering and construction.
At the heart of The Document Group’s BDS offering is a powerful production-grade digital printing platform capable of producing between 85 and 135 pages per minute. With this speed, our BDS service makes it ideal for creating high-volume document needs.

TDG integrates finishing services, including collating, punching, tabbing, and binding, making that the final product is fully assembled and ready for distribution or use.
Serving the Engineering Industry with Unwavering Precision and Reliability
Few industries rely on documentation as heavily as the engineering field. Whether planning a multi-million dollar construction project or maintaining industrial machinery, engineers need to refer to up-to-date, legible, and well-organized documents at every stage. TDG meets this need with a range of printed document formats explicitly tailored for engineering applications.
Engineering Booklets
TDG produces project booklets with 24 pages, saddle-stitched on 60# text stock in runs of 500 to 2,000 copies. These are ideal for presenting project summaries, blueprints, or team briefings. For companies focused on workplace safety and compliance, TDG offers safety booklets in 32 pages, saddle-stitched on 50# offset paper. With production volumes reaching up to 5,000 units, these booklets are vital communication tools during employee onboarding or project kickoffs.
Engineering Catalogs
TDG’s catalog production capabilities are tailored to serve both internal teams and customer-facing needs, ensuring high-quality documentation for any application. Our experience covers a wide range of catalog types, each designed to maximize usability and durability based on its intended use.
For example, our service catalogs are typically 48 pages long, coil-bound with tabs for easy navigation, and printed on 60# text stock. This size is an ideal choice for volumes ranging from 200 to 1,000 copies. These catalogs are perfect for providing detailed information to customers or staff in a polished, professional format.
When it comes to equipment catalogs, we produce 40-page editions that are 3-ring bound using durable 50# offset stock. Printed in batches of 100 to 500, these catalogs are built to withstand field or shop environments. For parts catalogs, we offer 64-page, coil-bound formats with tabs, printed on 50# offset stock in runs of 500 to 2,500 units, providing clear and organized reference materials for complex inventories.
These comprehensive references often include foldouts on 11 x 17 or 12 x 18 sheets for exploded-view diagrams or schematics. With support for larger sheet sizes and durable bindings, TDG ensures these catalogs withstand frequent use in the field and technical environments.
Comprehensive Manual Production: Meeting All Your Training and Operations Needs
Manuals remain a critical tool for training, standard operating procedures, and technical troubleshooting across industries. TDG specializes in producing both instructional and operational manuals, each tailored to its specific application and environment.
Our instructional manuals are typically 40 pages, coil-bound on 60# text stock, and printed in runs of 200 to 1,000 copies. These are commonly used for employee onboarding, ongoing education, or product installation guidance. For more demanding settings, our operational manuals are designed to be more robust, usually comprising 120 pages and printed on heavier 80# text paper. These manuals are 3-ring bound with tabs for easy reference and are intended for long-term use in mechanical or industrial environments, with print runs generally ranging from 100 to 500 units.
For manuals that require large illustrations or diagrams, foldouts printed on 11 x 17 or 12 x 18 paper can be inserted with ease.
Reports and Presentations: Business Communication
In addition to manuals and catalogs, The Document Group produces a wide range of reports and presentations designed for impactful communication and convenient reference. Our annual reports, typically 48 pages and saddle-stitched on 60# text paper, are printed in volumes of 200 to 1,000 and serve to summarize company performance for stakeholders. For more technical communication needs, we offer technical reports that are generally 100 pages, 3-ring bound with tabs, and printed on 20# bond paper. The technical report is ideal for documenting test results, product analyses, or R\&D findings.
We also produce project presentations, which are usually 24 pages, saddle-stitched on 60# text paper, and perfect for internal briefings or updating clients on project status. Technical presentations follow a similar format, consisting of 32 pages and produced in volumes ranging from 200 to 1,000 units. Each of these printed materials is crafted to deliver clear information, support informed decision-making, and leave a lasting impression on their audience.
TDG’s flexibility allows clients to choose the correct format and finish for their audience, whether they’re presenting to engineers in the field or executives in the boardroom.
Proposal Production: Winning Documents for Competitive Bids
If a company is submitting a competitive bid or presenting a project proposal, the quality of printed materials can significantly influence decision-makers. TDG helps organizations make a strong impression with professionally bound proposals tailored to each need. Our project proposals typically consist of 32 pages, coil-bound on 50# offset paper, and are produced in batches of 100 to 300 copies, ensuring a polished and cohesive presentation. For more comprehensive requirements, our bid proposals are slightly larger at 40 pages, 3-ring bound on 60# text stock, and include tabs as needed making them ideal for distribution to review boards and agencies that require organized, easy-to-navigate documentation.
With high-speed digital printing and expert finishing, TDG ensures every proposal is crisp, well-organized, and professional, conveying the attention to detail that reflects well on the submitting company.
