Paper Stock
The choice of paper stock and weight can significantly impact the overall look and feel of your children's story book. Prime Printings recommends two popular options: glossy art paper and matte art paper.
Glossy art paper is known for its vibrant colors and high shine, giving illustrations a vivid and eye-catching appearance. It is perfect for children's books that feature colorful and playful illustrations. On the other hand, matte art paper has a more subdued and smooth finish, making it an ideal choice for books with a softer and more sophisticated aesthetic. The matte surface also reduces glare, making it easier for children to read the text.
When it comes to paper weight, Prime Printings offers a range of options to suit your specific needs. Thicker paper, such as 157gsm or 200gsm, is more durable and can withstand frequent handling by young readers. However, lighter paper, such as 80gsm or 105gsm, is more cost-effective and suitable for books with fewer pages.

Story Book Size
Choosing the right size for your children's story book is essential for both aesthetics and practicality. Prime Printings offers several popular sizes that cater to different preferences and requirements.
The most common sizes for children's story books are 8.5" x 8.5" , 9" x 9", and 10" x 10" . This square format provides a balanced layout for illustrations and text, making it visually appealing for young readers. 8.5" x 11" also very popular, which offers a more traditional layout and allows for larger illustrations or more text per page.
It's important to consider the target age group and the intended reading experience when selecting the size of your children's story book. Smaller sizes are more suitable for toddlers and preschoolers, while larger sizes are ideal for older children who can handle bigger books.
Binding Ways
The binding method you choose for your children's story book can impact its durability, functionality, and overall appearance. Prime Printings recommends three common binding options: saddle stitch, perfect binding, and hardcover.
Saddle stitch binding
Saddle stitch binding is a cost-effective option suitable for books with a lower page count, typically ranging from 8 to 64 pages. It involves folding the printed sheets in half and stapling them along the fold. Saddle stitch binding is ideal for thinner children's story books or activity books.
Perfect binding
Perfect binding, also known as paperback binding, is a more durable option suitable for books with a higher page count, ranging from 32 to 200 pages. It involves gluing the pages together and attaching them to a wraparound cover. Perfect binding provides a professional and polished finish, making it a popular choice for children's story books.
Hardcover binding
For a premium and long-lasting option, hardcover binding is the way to go. Hardcover books are sturdy and can withstand rough handling. They are perfect for special editions or books that are meant to be treasured for years to come. Prime Printings offers various cover options, including cloth, leatherette, and printed covers, allowing you to customize the look and feel of your children's story book.
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 one of the most common cover options, and can be done in either glossy or matt finishes. Glossy lamination gives a smooth finish and enhances image clarity. While matt lamination gives a more subtle look with minimal shine.
Foil stamping is another great option for making a book stand out from the crowd. It involves using metallic foil to imprint text or images onto the cover.
Die cut covers are also popular; these involve precise cutting around text or images to give them a unique shape.
Spot UV is another option that adds a glossy varnish over certain parts of the cover design, which creates an appealing contrast with matt finishes.
Emboss/deboss techniques provide tactile effects on the cover. By pressing down into or raising up from the surface of materials such as board stock. That can add an extra level of sophistication and elegance to any book design.
Artwork Tips
Before sending your artwork to us for printing, it is crucial to ensure that it is properly set up and prepared. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth printing process:
Choose the right file format: Save your artwork in a high-resolution PDF format to preserve the image quality and ensure compatibility with the printing software.
Set up bleeds and margins: Extend the background of your artwork beyond the trim lines to allow for a small margin of error during the trimming process. This is known as a bleed. Additionally, ensure that important elements, such as text and illustrations, are within the safe zone to avoid any trimming mishaps.
Embed fonts and check image resolution: To prevent font issues, embed all fonts used in your artwork. It is also essential to check the resolution of your images to ensure they are at least 300 DPI (dots per inch) for optimal print quality.
Convert colors to CMYK: Convert all colors in your artwork to CMYK mode to ensure accurate color reproduction during the printing process. RGB colors used for digital displays may appear different when printed.
Proofread and review: Before finalizing your artwork, carefully proofread the text and review all elements to ensure everything is in place. It's a good idea to request a physical or digital proof from us to double-check the final result before mass production.
