STORIES, IN PRINT. Concept product image
- Since 1956: Established printing manufacturer.
- Made to your brief: Format, materials, binding and finish.
- From proof to shipment: Support for international book projects.
A format for every story.
Start with the reader’s age, your artwork and how the book will be used. We can help you match those needs to a practical production specification.
Hardcover Picture Books
For illustrated stories, gift editions and publishing series. A rigid cover gives the book structure, while paper, binding and finishing shape the reading experience.
Board Books
For early learning and books made for repeated handling. Discuss board thickness, page construction, rounded corners and the intended age group with our team.
Paperback Storybooks
For reading programs, illustrated story series and accessible retail editions. Choose a flexible cover and a binding suited to the page count and paper thickness.
Learning & Activity Books
For workbooks, language learning, puzzles and classroom materials. If children will write or color on the pages, tell us which tools they will use when selecting paper.
Pop-Up & Interactive Books
For stories that unfold beyond the printed page. Paper engineering, die-cutting, folding and assembly need to work together. Share your concept or existing prototype so we can review the structure before production.

The right details. A better finished book.
Our children’s book printing services bring the cover, interior pages and binding into one considered specification.
- Size & orientation: Square, portrait or landscape formats, selected around the artwork, shelving and reading experience.
- Paper & board: Choose interior stock and board construction to balance image reproduction, feel, opacity and intended use.
- Binding: Hardcover, softcover and board book construction, with binding reviewed against size, page count and paper thickness.
- Cover & finishing: Explore lamination, foil stamping, embossing, debossing and spot UV where suitable for the project.
- Packing & delivery: Confirm individual packing, carton requirements and the destination as part of your quotation.
Options are confirmed for your book’s structure, intended readers and target market.
Beautiful artwork. Thoughtful production.
A children’s book must work as an object as well as a story. These are the details worth agreeing before a print run begins.
Color & illustration
Review the artwork, color settings and proofing method together. Agree on the approved reference before production, especially for artwork with subtle tones or large areas of color.
Binding & construction
Check how the book opens, the page sequence, the cover alignment and the strength of the assembled structure. Interactive books also need a review of movement and repeated opening.
Age & market requirements
Share the intended age range, destination market and any testing or documentation your project requires. Confirm the material and construction requirements before ordering.
Agree on the specification. Approve the proof. Then start the print run.
A little more wonder on every spread.
Pop-up and interactive children’s books turn printed illustrations into paper experiences. The construction is part of the design, so an early prototype can help clarify folds, moving elements and assembly.
Tell us what the reader should discover. We will review the production approach with you, including paper structure, cutting, finishing and assembly requirements.

Before you print.
Useful answers for publishers, education companies and brands planning a children’s book project.
Which types of children’s books can you print?
We print picture books, board books, paperback storybooks, educational books and pop-up or interactive books. Share your design and intended use so we can review the format and production requirements.
Can I customize the size, paper and binding?
Yes. Children’s books can be produced around a custom specification. We review the size, page count, interior stock, cover, binding and finishing together to confirm a workable construction.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The minimum order quantity depends on the book format, dimensions, materials and production method. Send your intended quantity with the specifications so we can confirm feasibility and pricing for that project.
Can I review a sample before the full print run?
Proofs, physical samples or construction prototypes can be arranged according to the project. We confirm the sample type, cost and timing with you before proceeding. A pop-up prototype and a printed color proof may serve different purposes.
What artwork files do you need?
Print-ready PDF files are a useful starting point. Before final export, confirm the trim size, bleed, color settings, image resolution and binding-related layout requirements with our team. Send a sample file if you need a production review.
How long does production take?
The schedule depends on the format, quantity, materials, finishing, sample approvals and production availability. Tell us your required delivery date and destination so the quote can address the production and shipping plan.
Can you support international delivery?
Yes. We support international book projects and export delivery. Include the destination country, postal code or port, packing requirements and preferred delivery terms when requesting a quote.
How are children’s book safety requirements addressed?
Requirements depend on the intended age group, product construction and destination market. Share any applicable testing, material or documentation requirements in your brief so they can be reviewed and confirmed before production.
