Paper Choices and Colour Printing
The right paper elevates a children's book from a printed document to a treasured object. Printster's full-colour printing option renders bright, detailed illustrations clearly on a range of paper stocks. For most picture books and illustrated early readers, 90 GSM is a practical, cost-effective choice with good colour saturation. If you want pages that feel more substantial — suited to frequent handling by young readers or display in a library — 100 GSM or 130 GSM paper adds noticeable heft and print quality. Mono (black-and-white) printing on 70 GSM is ideal for text-heavy formats where cost is the primary concern. Double-sided printing is available for all paper choices.
Binding Options
Saddle-stitch (staple) binding is well-suited to children's books of up to approximately 48 pages. It keeps the book lying flat — a practical advantage for read-alouds in classrooms or home reading sessions. For longer children's novels or books with a higher page count, soft-cover perfect binding gives a neat, glued spine and a professional appearance. Hardcover binding is the premium route for gift editions, author presentation copies, or books with sentimental value. Be aware that hard and perfect binding add 1–2 working days to the production schedule.
Preparing Your File for Print
Printster accepts PDF, DOCX, JPG, PNG, and ZIP files up to 100 MB. A print-ready PDF with embedded fonts is the recommended format for illustrated children's books — it preserves your intended layout, typography, and image colour without conversion artefacts. All Printster prints carry a margin on all four sides (no borderless output), so make sure key artwork and captions are positioned within the safe zone of your layout. Files over 100 MB can be submitted via WeTransfer.
