Small Run Childrens Book Printing Kids Boardbook Printing Service
Children’s board book safety
To avoid pointy edges, we can produce your children’s board book
with rounded edges at the top right and bottom right of the board
book. In addition, we use a UV varnish lamination instead of
plastic lamination, which can peel away from the board (and into a
child’s mouth). All of our overseas printing partners adhere to
North American printing and binding safety standards for children’s
books.
Children’s board book printing primer
Because board books require specialized paper, equipment, and
binding, they can be expensive to print in North America. For this
reason, Callawind works with select China board book printers to
help you produce a high-quality, professional board book at a much
lower cost.
There are generally two types of board:
White board (or white art board) is pressed cardboard made of white
fibers and a white laminated surface. It is more expensive than
gray board.
Gray board is pressed cardboard made of gray fibers and a white
laminated surface.
How can you tell the difference? Look at the edges of different
board books. You’ll notice that some have white fibers in the
middle of the board, and some have gray fibers in the middle of the
board.
Board thickness is measured in gsm (grams/square meter). We
recommend a thickness of 300 to 400 gsm.
