Board book formats
Board Book Formats
Board books need more than ordinary book printing. The page specification should define board thickness, surface protection, corner treatment and structure.
Baby board books
Compact formats, thick pages, rounded corners and wipe-resistant lamination for frequent handling.
Toddler learning books
Alphabet, number, concept and early learning titles with durable board pages and bright illustration color.
Retail gift board books
Premium cover finishing, special shapes, sets or packing options for retail and gift programs.
Custom shaped board books
Die-cut shapes, tabs or rounded edge details can be reviewed when dielines and safety requirements are supplied.
Product-specific decisions
Board, Lamination and Corners
For board books, the buyer should define the physical structure early. Thickness, page count, laminated surface, rounded corners and spine behavior affect cost, durability, child handling and packing.
Board thickness
Thicker board changes page feel, spine behavior, carton weight and final book bulk.
Rounded corners
Rounded corners are common for younger readers and should be specified with the final trim size.
Laminated surfaces
Gloss or matte lamination helps protect printed pages from frequent handling.
Spine and opening
Board-page construction should be reviewed so the book opens reliably for the intended reader age.
