Art Book Sizes

Art books are a showcase for your finest work, and at QinPrinting, we offer custom sizes to suit your needs. While we print a wide range of sizes, the most common options are between 8" x 10" and 9" x 12" or larger. The most economical size is 8.5" x 11". The ideal dimensions for your art book depend on factors like the type of artwork, the number of images, the length of text, and the layout or orientation you choose.

Paper And Cover Material Options

Just like gallery or museum exhibitions, art books require careful curation. The quality of the paper and its presentation are essential to the impact you want to make. We recommend printing on premium gloss or matte art paper to achieve vibrant, lifelike results. For a more natural, subtle finish, uncoated paper is also available, offering a more understated look that still highlights your artwork beautifully.

Imitation Leather and Padded Imitation Leather Covers

We also offer imitation leather and padded imitation leather covers for books which need a traditional, superior, and luxury treatment.

Bindings

Art books—unlike some “presentation” books—are opened, read, and looked at! So, they must combine elevated aesthetic values with practicality. We recommend “sewn perfect bound” and “sewn hardcover” as our preferred binding styles for art books. Your choice depends on your budget, the style and length of your book, and several other factors. But these two binding options both achieve optimal results, which always impress. You can open both bindings flat with no damage to the spine, too, which makes them ideal for browsing.

Sewn perfect bound

We often use this binding style for art books. We collate and print the interior pages in sets called signatures, which are then sewn together and fixed into a wrap-around cover made of heavier art paper or lightweight card stock. This option gives you a truly beautiful book for a minimal outlay.

Sewn hardcover

In this binding, we organize the interior pages into signatures which are then printed, cut, and sewn, and glued into a hard casing covered by a printed sheet which forms the cover. This binding is the most resilient and professional-looking, especially if you add special treatments such as embossed titles, debossed titles, soft touch lamination, gold, black or other color gilded edges, and metallic foil stamping; or a custom-made printed dust jacket, a slip case, marker ribbons, and sewn decorative headbands.

Whichever binding style you choose, we like to make it easy for you to design your artbook. So, you can use one of our ready-made design templates if you wish. And ask us for paper and treatment samples. We'll drop them to you in the mail. The samples are free, so you need only pay the mailing charges.
