Paper for children's books
The short answerMost picture books use 80lb or 105lb gloss coated paper. 80lb suits books of 32 pages or more; 105lb gives a thicker, premium feel for shorter books.
The details
| Paper | Best for | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 80lb gloss | Traditional picture books of 32 pages or more | The standard professional grade weight used in traditional picture books. It keeps the overall thickness of the book manageable. |
| 105lb gloss | Premium or deluxe editions, and shorter picture books (under 32 pages) | A premium, heavy duty paper with a noticeably thicker, more luxurious feel. Good for young children who are still learning to handle paper pages gently. |
