Children's Book Printing: Tears and Tulle - Front Cover

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.

Children's Book Printing: Tears and Tulle - Interior Spread

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.

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.

I worked with PufferPrint to publish my children’s board book and they did a fantastic job. I was really appreciative of their communicativeness and professionalism. I felt like they were truly working WITH me, and were invested in making my book as high of a quality as I wanted it to be. Will be recommending them and hopefully working with them again in the future!
