Paper Quality
Interior Paper: Use high-quality, acid-free paper that is bright white or cream-colored for readability. The paper should be thick enough (around 170gsm to 250gsm) to handle full-color illustrations without significant bleed-through. It should be smooth and durable enough to handle rough handling by young children.
Glossy Finish: Glossy paper is often preferred for children's picture books because it makes colors more vibrant and enhances the visual appeal of the illustrations. It also helps protect the book from fading over time.
Matte Finish: For a softer, more understated feel, you may choose a matte finish. It is ideal if you want a more subtle, textured feel to the pages, especially for artistic or vintage-inspired designs.
Book Size and Layout
Standard Size: The standard size for children's picture books is usually 8.5 x 8.5 inches or 10 x 10 inches, but you can also go for a custom size depending on the style and design.
Layout: The layout should feature large, easy-to-read text alongside vibrant illustrations. The text should be simple and clear, using large fonts (around 18pt to 24pt). Each page should have a balance between the images and text, allowing young readers to follow the story while enjoying the illustrations.
Bleed Area: Ensure that your book design includes a bleed area (usually around 0.125 inches beyond the trim line) to ensure that the illustrations cover the entire page without borders when printed.
Special Printing Features
Spot UV: Adding Spot UV coating to specific areas (such as the book title or key illustrations) gives the cover a glossy, textured effect, making certain design elements pop against a matte background. This adds a tactile quality to the book that can be engaging for children.
Embossing or Debossing: For extra texture and luxury, you can use embossing (raised design) or debossing (indented design) on the cover or interior pages. These techniques are especially effective on titles, illustrations, or symbols that play a key role in the story.
Foil Stamping: Foil stamping (using gold, silver, or other metallic foils) can be applied to the title, author's name, or illustrations on the cover, adding an elegant touch to the book. Foil stamping enhances the overall appeal, making the book feel more premium.
Die-Cutting: Consider die-cutting portions of the cover or pages to create fun, interactive shapes that encourage curiosity. For example, the shape of an animal, vehicle, or character could be die-cut from the cover to create a fun effect.
