Board Books for Children

Design  /  Avoid using fonts smaller than 5 pt or with very thin lines — their printability depends largely on the smoothness of the chosen substrate. Gold and silver elements may not show well on very thin lines or small areas. For deep black areas, we recommend using CMYK 60/50/50/100.

Layout  /  Make sure no text falls into the fold — due to the cloth binding, page spreads do not align perfectly at the spine. Please submit your pages as single pages, not as spreads.

Durability  /  Lamination provides good durability for the cover — it’s strongly recommended if you want a product that holds up over time. However, if you’ve chosen a creative paper for the cover, we suggest skipping the plastic coating to preserve its unique tactile quality.

General Setup  /  The most reliable file format is PDF/X-4 — it ensures optimal compression and proper embedding of fonts and colors. All images should be in CMYK color mode and 300 dpi resolution at actual size. If you're using extra (spot) colors, the printable areas must be vector-based.
If your design reaches the edge of the print, include a 3 mm bleed. Crop marks should be 3 mm long and placed 3 mm from the edge.
