What is a great binding method for a children’s book? If your children’s book has few words and illustrations to get the point across to our new little learners, the best binding method is board book printing. The little hands of a child sometimes have tribulations turning a thinner paper stock.
Using board book printing the thick pages make it easier for turning the pages, along with the tearing issue that can arise. The durability of board books is a hot sale! These types of books are great for children ages newborn to age 4.
Board books are produced in many shapes and sizes. Shapes are created using a die-cutting machine, which can have your book stand out from the standard board book. You can design different shapes, you can die-cut a board book to look like a kangaroo, a bear, a leaf or just about anything!
The cover is the first eye-catcher to draw readers towards purchasing a custom printed book. The case or cover is created separately from the block of text pages. Below lists and explains the different covers for specialty books:

This choice is one of the more expensive designs. Leather or leatherette covers come in a variety of colors, patterns, and thicknesses. Typically, with leather and leatherette covers, foil ink is used for the font.
Cloth cover binding is more common than leathers for custom bound books. There are several colors ranging from a sandy tan, fire engine red, blue as the ocean, to black as the night.
There are not only the color options, but also textures like smooth silk, suede, pure cotton, poly silk, linen, mixed cloth, and many more. Applying a dust jacket to the cloth case can provide added information regarding the interior text. This application is less expensive if printed in China due to the handwork process. Please visit our custom book printing China hand work blog for more information. Foil stamping on the front cover is the norm. Debossing, which is the process of pressing into the fabric and adding the foil, nicely lays in the impression.
Where you will start seeing a cost savings over US prices would be around 1000 quantity. Now, many of our clients produce several titles at once, which can save costs by making different board book sets for re-sale. Also, when producing several or many titles at once you may want to consider putting them into a slip case. This is great because it represents a collection rather than just one board book.
