There are a number decisions you can make around features and finishes regarding size, paper type, binding, and covers.
There are no strict rules regarding size either. For example, if your target market is 0-7 years-old, then a larger size – A4 or medium square – is commonly used. This size offers plenty of space for large, vibrant illustrations and oversized text making it easier for the young children to engage. If you are aiming at slightly older, junior market (7– 12 years-old), then perhaps A5 novel-style size is more appropriate – these are still effective with illustrations and images, but better suited for text only books.
The different formats recommended for children’s books are mainly square, perfect bound with a silk finish, square hardback, or alternatively, stapled landscape option.
Children's Book Printing - Your Questions Answered
What book binding methods work best with children’s books?
For young readers, the durability of books is key. Perfect binding works well for storybooks or shorter titles, where as long stories or picture books could be better suited to case binding / hardback. For more information see our binding methods.
What paper type is best for children’s books?
Heavier and / or coated papers are popular for children’s books, especially where there are lots of bold imagery. Coated papers will vibrantly display colours, uncoated papers give books a more traditional feel.
Do I need an ISBN for Children’s books?
If you intend to sell your book through any retailer (high street stores or online), or have it in libraries, you will need an ISBN (see our guide to ISBNs). If your book is just intended for private distribution then an ISBN is not required.
Can I print in small quantities first?
Of course. We usually ask for a minimum order of 10 books due to the time and costs of preparing files and setting up print hardware.
Can I add special print finishes to a children’s book?
Of course. Speak to our team about your options including lamination or spot uv.
