Self-Publish Your Children’s Book
Premium Quality Book Printing at an Affordable Price

At PufferPrint, we know that creating a children’s book is a significant undertaking. When it comes to printing your book, you need a partner who will work to fully understand your vision and deliver a book you’ll be proud to share with the world.
Every year we help self-published authors print thousands of children’s books. Plus, we offer short runs meaning that our minimum quantity for printing books is just 250 units.
Whether you’re planning to print a hardcover, softcover, or board book, our team of experts can help you take your children’s book from concept to completion.
At PufferPrint, we use only the highest quality materials, with every book printed and bound by a team of experienced print professionals. When you choose to print with us, you’ll receive bookstore-quality books at an affordable price.

Our hardcover books are a premium, durable option, perfect as a treasured keepsake or thoughtful gift. Sturdy construction means they can last a lifetime of rough handling by young readers. Our softcover books, while still expertly bound, are more cost-effective making them ideal for everyday reading and broader distribution.
Both hardcover and softcover books are produced with equally high-quality paper and inks, ensuring your artwork and illustrations are crisp and vibrant regardless of the format you choose.
We offer a variety of paper options to suit your needs. Glossy art paper enhances colors, making them bright and vibrant, while matte art paper gives colors a softer tone and resists fingerprints. For a more natural feel, you can choose uncoated offset paper.
Want to make your book truly unique? At PufferPrint, we specialize in customization! Enhance your children’s book with fun features such as a padded cover, dust jacket, metallic foil, embossing, spot UV, or even a custom slipcase to give it that extra special touch.

All of our paper stock is FSC-certified meaning that it comes from responsibly-managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits. For those who want to go even greener, we can print your book on 100% recycled paper. We also use soy-based inks which are non-toxic and safer for little ones.
