Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, single-copy printing is available with no minimum order, making it ideal for self-publishing authors, illustrators creating a portfolio piece, or parents wanting a personalised story book for their child.
Hardback case binding is the most durable choice for children's picture books as young readers are hard on books. Saddle-stitch suits thin story books and early reader booklets under 64 pages. Perfect binding works well for longer chapter books aimed at older children.
For full-colour illustrated children's books, 170 GSM gloss or matte art paper reproduces vibrant illustrations with excellent clarity. Gloss lamination on hardback covers adds durability. Avoid very thin paper for picture books as colour may show through from the reverse side.
Square formats (210 × 210 mm or 250 × 250 mm) are very popular for picture books as illustrations fill the page evenly. A4 works well for illustrated story books, while A5 suits early chapter books. Check the configurator for all available sizes.
All illustrations should be at least 300 DPI at the final print size for smooth, sharp printing. Hand-drawn scanned artwork should be scanned at 600 DPI or higher and then embedded in the PDF. Low-resolution images will appear blurry or pixelated in print.
