Inside the Factory
Series 9

Paddy McGuinness visits the Clays book factory in Suffolk to learn how they produce 20,000 copies of Pride and Prejudice for publisher Penguin. The factory makes an astonishing three million books every week for a variety of publishers, and the process for Paddy’s batch begins at the intake bay, where printing general manager David is overseeing the delivery of massive reels of 1.2-metre-wide paper. Each roll weighs 750 kilograms and will produce 1,380 books.
