Premium Softcover Children’s Book Printing

In 2009, we brought affordable offset printing from China to the Internet – and we started softcover children’s book printing projects not long after that. Since our founding, we’ve focused on delighting customers that need help turning their vision into reality. We believe that we have earned the right to call ourselves a great resource for self-publishers that want to give their young readers a top-quality product.

Early on, we decided that we would print all of our books with the offset printing method. The setup times and minimum order quantities are higher than digital or “POD” presses, but the results are better. They’re especially better when your readers still have to be reminded to wash their hands! Offset-printed inks are more durable and less likely to smudge or flake off onto tiny hands than digitally-printed inks. In addition, our inks and papers are child-safe – and we coordinate with several safety testing labs in case you or your distribution channels require testing.

Our customer service team is based in Chicago. Each of our account managers is trained and experienced; they’ve handled lots of questions and are happy to handle lots more. Our prepress artists sit mixed in with the account managers for ease of communication. We hand-manage every print job from the time of first inquiry until the books arrive at your final location. That level of involvement means short response times to questions and effective communication back and forth with customers should issues or questions arise.

Our office in China makes an enormous difference in the level of quality and service that we can provide. We have developed deep relationships with high-quality, smaller-scale printing companies in southeast China. Whether those vendors are doing softcover children’s book printing projects or comic books or magazines for us, they have become used to working with us and the level of quality that we require. Importantly, too – we take the additional step of maintaining an ongoing testing and quality assurance presence in the factories that we use for work. That means that we check images as the printed sheets come off of the printing press. We check binding and we check sizing and we check packaging. We’re only interested in delivering products that satisfy you, and we help vendors in China understand and do the kind of work that Western customers demand.

All of this is backed with quality guarantees, strong references, and a detailed help section. Samples are available and we are happy to talk you through your questions by voice or by electronic communication. Our testimonials and service ratings attest to the fact that we really try to deliver what we would want ourselves and our children.
