PERFECT BOUND CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOK PRINTING

Posted on 7 August 2023

In this showcase snippet video, we take a look at My Wonder Line by Bun Bun Books and @VickyGooden a classic kids' book print spec with a lovingly put-together story and illustrations.

265x210mm
4pp Cover onto 300gsm Silk
Matt Lamination to outer
32pp Text onto 170gsm Uncoated
Four colour print throughout
Trimmed, collated and perfect bound

There are 32 inside pages onto 170gsm uncoated which looking at the side profile just about gives us the required 3mm depth to glue and perfect bind. The spine side affords space for the title and publisher to be added although do note that it needs to be small and well-centred with the spine’s parameters to avoid any risk of it sliding around to the front and back cover. A nice touch here is the navy blue spine with reversed-out text to draw attention to it and contrast with the lighter background on the covers.

This is a bespoke size of 265x210mm which you could increase to 297x210mm for the same price or drop to 240x170mm for a saving. The cover is printed onto 300gsm Silk with a matt Lamination to the outer. This ensures the cover content is vibrant whilst the inside pages are a crisper and more tactile uncoated finish. Uncoated slightly mutes the colours so is ideal for watercolour or pencil style.

A beautiful, neat reading book which is also cost-effective to print. As a guide, this retails at £7.99.
