Hardcover Children's Book Printing

Product Detailed Description

A hardcover children's book is a printed page block bound between rigid front and back boards, with a covered spine along the bound edge. The printed paper wrap folds over the board edges and turns inside the covers, and the spine joins the boards into a hinged case. A reader lifts the front board, lets it swing on the spine, and turns the leaves from the fore edge. The finished book stands on a nursery shelf, sits in a book basket, or faces out on a gift shop display near the checkout.

• Rigid front and back boards sit under the printed wrap, giving the cover a flat face for stamping and spot UV
• Cover boards extend past the page block at the fore edge, forming a lip a small hand can grip
• The spine joins the front and back boards and holds the page block in line as a parent turns the leaves
• Endpapers paste the page block to the inside covers, closing the gap where the case meets the leaves
• Gloss or matte lamination, varnish, UV coating, and spot UV finish the cover, while gold or silver stamping marks the title
