Perfect for authors, illustrators and publishers who want a professional children's book — from one copy up. A picture book with bright colour reproduction, thick coated paper and a luxurious hardcover finish that stands up to little hands. ## Why have a picture book printed? A picture book lives on image and colour. We print in a way that does illustrations justice: high colour sharpness, thick coated paper and a sturdy binding that survives many bedtime stories. ### Vivid colours High-density digital printing for sharp, saturated illustrations. ### Thick coated paper 150–170 gsm matte or glossy coated stock for rich imagery. ### Child-safe finish Sewn binding and firm hardcover — built for daily use. ### From one copy Ideal for prototypes, self-publishing or small runs. ## Formats, paper and finishing From square picture book to landscape A4 — choose the format that shows off your illustrations best. ### Picture book formats Popular formats include square (21×21 cm, 25×25 cm), landscape A4 and portrait A5. Larger formats give room to detailed illustrations; smaller formats fit comfortably in small hands. ### Paper and cover For the interior we recommend 150 gsm coated matte or gloss — thick enough to prevent bleed-through and to let colours come out fully. The hardcover is printed and laminated for extra protection. ## How to order your picture book Four steps from manuscript to printed picture book — designed for illustrators and self-publishers. ### From order to delivery 1. 1 **Calculate your price** Pick format, page count, paper and quantity. 2. 2 **Upload your file** Provide a print-ready PDF with correct colour profile (CMYK) and bleed. 3. 3 **Production** We print in high resolution and bind with sewn signatures. 4. 4 **Delivery** Safely packaged and delivered within 3–5 working days.

That's why print and binding quality matter. At HardcoverDiscounter we print picture books on thick coated paper with vivid colour reproduction, so every illustration reaches the page exactly as the illustrator intended. For authors and illustrators who self-publish, print-on-demand is a real advantage: you can order from a single copy to make an affordable proof before committing to a larger run. Publishers often choose bigger runs with volume discounts. Schools and libraries also regularly order personalised picture books for projects or anniversaries. Sewn binding lets the book open completely flat — important during read-aloud sessions, because illustrations across a double page stay fully visible. The hardcover is printed, laminated (matte or gloss) and protects the book against daily use by children. Options like foil stamping or embossing on the cover are available on request. For file delivery: supply a print-ready PDF/X-1a with 3 mm bleed, all images at at least 300 dpi and colours in CMYK. Our file specifications guide you step by step. In doubt? Get in touch — we are happy to advise on paper choice, format and finishing. Whether you need a single prototype for a pitch to a publisher or a thousand copies for a national launch — you get the same high quality backed by our quality guarantee.
