Coated one side art paper is frequently used for board book printing because it strikes a good balance between print quality and durability. The coated side offers a smooth, even surface for printing crisp, vibrant images, while the uncoated side is more receptive to glue and binding. This makes it easier to bind the pages of a board book successfully without cracking or tearing the paper.
Moreover, coated one side art paper is more resistant to moisture and stains, which is crucial for books handled frequently by young children who might spill liquids or food on them. The lamination also provides some protection against scratching, helping to extend the book’s lifespan.
Overall, coated one side art paper is an excellent choice for board book printing because it delivers high-quality printing results and added durability for a book that will be used repeatedly by young children.
Typically, we recommend 350gsm C1S art paper for custom children’s board books. If you prefer a thinner feel or need to consider budget constraints, we often recommend 250gsm C1S art paper, with 300gsm C1S art paper also being a good option.
The standard size of board books can vary depending on the publisher, but several common sizes are widely used in the industry. Here are some of the standard board book sizes:
Square size
Square sizes are popular for board books designed for infants, toddlers, and young children. The square format provides a balanced layout that allows for equal space to display illustrations and text. This makes it ideal for books with simple designs or illustrations, helping to engage young readers with clear and visually appealing content. The uniform dimensions of square books also make them easier for small hands to hold and turn the pages. Additionally, the sturdiness of square board books ensures they can withstand the rough handling typical of young children.
Portrait size
Portrait sizes, which are taller than they are wide, are often used for custom board books that feature more complex illustrations or longer stories. This format allows for a more traditional layout, making it suitable for books that require more vertical space to adequately display detailed images and extensive text. Portrait-oriented board books can also provide a different reading experience, often making it easier to include sequential or narrative content that flows down the page
Landscape size
Landscape sizes, which are wider than they are tall, are often used for board books that feature panoramic illustrations or multiple images across a spread. This format allows for expansive visual storytelling, making it ideal for books that benefit from a wider layout to showcase detailed scenes or a sequence of images.
These sizes are generally used to ensure the books are easy for children to handle and durable enough to withstand frequent use. And some board books are produced in unique or custom sizes, depending on the publisherās requirements or the specific design of the book.
Both CMYK and spot color printing options are offered on double sides.
There are two common types of board books binding: self-cover board books binding and hardcover board books binding.
Self-cover board book bindingļ¼
In self-cover board book binding, both the cover and the pages of the book are constructed from the same material, usually thick cardboard. This method provides a durable and cohesive structure. The cover is printed on a thicker board stock for added durability, while the inner pages are printed on the same type of thick cardboard and are typically laminated with a protective layer to enhance longevity and resist wear and tear. The binding process includes mounting each page by gluing two sheets of printed paper together, which are then attached to the spine and cover of the book. This results in a book where the cover and pages are seamlessly integrated, providing a uniform look and feel.
Hardcover board book binding:
In hardcover board book binding, the book is given a hard cover similar to that of a traditional hardcover book, providing enhanced durability and protection. The inner pages are constructed by mounting each page with two sheets of paper, resulting in thick, sturdy pages. These pages are then assembled and attached to the hard cover using a case binding method, where the pages are sewn or glued together and then glued into the hard cover. This binding method offers superior durability and a premium feel, but it is generally more costly than self-cover board book binding due to the additional materials and more involved binding process.
