Paper Stock 

The choice of paper stock and weight can significantly impact the overall look and feel of your children's story book. We recommends two popular options: glossy art paper and matte art paper.

Glossy art paper enhances illustrations with rich colors and a reflective shine, making it an excellent choice for vibrant and engaging children's books. In contrast, matte art paper offers a smooth, non-glare finish that creates a softer, more elegant look, ideal for books with a more refined aesthetic while improving readability.

We have many weights to match different needs. Heavier options like 157gsm or 200gsm offer durability for frequent use, while lighter weights such as 80gsm or 105gsm are budget-friendly and suitable for books with fewer pages.

Common choices include 8.5" x 8.5", 9" x 9", and 10" x 10", offering a balanced layout for text and illustrations, making them engaging for young readers. Another widely used option is 8.5" x 11", which provides a traditional format with ample space for larger images and more text.

When deciding on the book size, consider the target age group and reading experience. Smaller formats are ideal for toddlers and preschoolers, while larger sizes suit older children who can handle bigger books.

Binding Ways

Common use saddle stitch, perfect binding, and hardcover binding for stroy book.

Saddle stitch binding

Saddle stitch binding is an affordable choice for books with a lower page count, typically between 8 and 64 pages. This method involves folding printed sheets in half and securing them with staples along the spine. It is a great option for thinner children's books, activity books, or booklets requiring a lightweight and flexible design.

Perfect binding

Perfect binding, also called paperback binding, is a sturdy option designed for books with higher page counts, typically between 32 and 200 pages. This method involves gluing the pages together and securing them to a flexible wraparound cover. Perfect binding offers a sleek and professional look, making it a favored choice for children's storybooks and other softcover publications.

Hardcover binding

For a high-quality and durable choice, hardcover binding is an excellent option. Hardcover books are built to last and can endure frequent handling. They are ideal for keepsake editions or books meant to be cherished over time. We off a range of cover finishes, including cloth, leatherette, and custom-printed designs, allowing you to create a distinctive look for your children's storybook.

Finish Options

When printing children's storybooks, we provide many cover options that can be used to create an eye-catching and professional-looking product.

Lamination is a widely used cover finish available in glossy or matte styles. Glossy lamination offers a sleek feel and enhances image vibrancy, while matte lamination provides a refined look with a soft, non-reflective surface.

Foil stamping adds a metallic sheen to text or graphics, creating an eye-catching effect.

Die-cut covers feature custom-cut shapes around text or images, adding a distinctive touch to the design.

Spot UV applies a glossy coating to specific areas of the cover, creating a striking contrast with matte backgrounds.

Embossing and debossing add texture by raising or pressing elements into the cover, giving the book a sophisticated and elegant appearance.

Artwork Tips

Before submitting your artwork for printing, it's essential to ensure that it's correctly prepared. Follow these key steps for a seamless printing experience:

Select the proper file format: Save your artwork as a high-resolution PDF to maintain image quality and ensure compatibility with printing systems.

Ensure bleeds and margins: Extend the artwork background beyond the trim line to allow for cutting adjustments. Keep text and important design elements within the safe zone to prevent accidental trimming.

Embed fonts and check image quality: To avoid font discrepancies, embed all fonts in your file. Also, verify that images are at least 300 DPI for sharp and clear prints.

Convert colors to CMYK: Use CMYK color mode instead of RGB to ensure accurate color reproduction in print. RGB colors may appear differently on physical prints.

Review and proofread: Carefully check the text and design before finalizing your artwork. Request a digital or physical proof to verify the final appearance before full production.
