❓ Can I Combine Different Yearbooks Into One Order?
Not always.
Yearbooks may need to be placed in separate orders depending on the project, school year, order type, and cover type.
🛒 Parent and Individual Packaging Ordering
For parent / Individual Packaging orders:
- Yearbooks from different projects or school years must be ordered separately.
- Hardcover and softcover books cannot be combined in the same parent order.
- Each separate order may include its own shipping charge.
🏫 Adviser Bulk Orders
Advisers may place bulk orders that include multiple cover types.
However, books with different cover types may be produced separately and may ship in separate shipments, even when they are part of the same bulk order.
🏭 Why Does This Happen?
Yearbooks are printed on demand. Different projects and cover types may be routed through different production equipment, production lines, or facilities.
Because of this, books are not always produced or shipped together.
📚 Ordering Books From Previous Years
If you are purchasing books from multiple school years, each project year must be ordered separately.
If you cannot find a previous-year book, contact the school or yearbook Adviser for the correct storefront or purchasing information.
