The main materials for printing children's books include offset paper, coated paper and light paper.
Offset paper
Offset paper is an ideal choice for printing high-end color prints, suitable for color pictorials, picture albums, posters, color printed trademarks, and covers and illustrations of high-end books. Its characteristics include low elasticity, uniform ink absorption, high smoothness, tight and opaque texture, excellent whiteness, and strong water resistance. The commonly used specifications are about 80-120 grams, which is suitable for books with more text, comfortable to the touch, good ink absorption, and not easy to fatigue after long-term reading.
Coated paper
Coated paper is highly praised for its smooth surface, high whiteness and excellent ink absorption and inking performance. It is often used for printing postcards, covers, and fine-line prints such as high-end picture albums, calendars and books. Coated paper has a variety of weights and specifications to meet different printing needs. Its disadvantage is that it is easy to stick and fall off when exposed to moisture, and is not suitable for long-term storage. The commonly used specifications are 150-200 grams, which is suitable for picture books with bright colors and rich pictures, and can present clear and bright colors.
Light paper
Light paper has the advantages of high smoothness, good whiteness, strong waterproof performance, uniform ink absorption, and strong image reproduction and reproduction ability. It is not only suitable for children's books, but also helps children understand the fun of the story.
Other materials
In addition to paper materials, children's books also widely use fabrics, plastics, wood, chemical fibers and other printing materials. For example, cloth books often use polyester fibers, non-woven fabrics and cotton and linen materials. These materials are soft and easy to clean, suitable for infants and young children to tear and chew.
