Here we are all electronic at this level, so submission is in that form, and when everything is done and dusted, you get a copy for the uni library- and maybe one for yourself as well. But there is also an in-house service for binding etc. for other degrees have you checked to see if there is one you can use?
Is that the price for doing it all, that is getting it printed as well, and if so, can you get it printed up and just give it to them for binding? I'm not sure how much you will save by that though.
