Kids' Coloring Books vs. Adult Coloring Books: Which Binding Is Best?
Kids Coloring Books
Single-Sewn Book Printing
This simple yet durable option is an excellent choice for young children who may handle the book roughly. The single-sewn technique helps prevent loose pages and allows the book to lay relatively flat for easy coloring.

Sewn and Perfect Binding
Combining sewn signatures with a perfect-bound spine is well-suited for thicker children's coloring books that need to withstand repeated page turns and enthusiastic coloring sessions.

Saddle Stitch Binding
Saddle stitch uses two staples along the folded spine. It is suitable for books with fewer than 64 interior pages. It's cost-effective and allows pages to lie flat for coloring.

Adults Coloring Books
Saddle Stitch Binding
Saddle stitch works well for shorter adult coloring books. This binding keeps costs down and is perfect for giveaways, promotional items, or hobby-focused coloring booklets.

Wire-O Binding
Wire-O binding allows pages to lie completely flat or even fold back on themselves, making it easier to color intricate designs. It is a great option for adult coloring books.

Sewn and Perfect Binding
Sewn and perfect binding creates a sleek, squared-off spine, making your adult coloring book appear more like a traditional paperback. It's also durable enough to handle frequent page turns.

Hardcover Binding
Hardcover binding is the ultimate option for premium adult coloring books. It not only provides a luxurious appearance but also offers superior protection for the pages. This binding type is popular for special editions or high-end art coloring books.

Perforation for the book interior sheets
For any binding method you choose—whether for kids or adults—if you prefer each illustrated sheet to be colored separately, we can add a perforation at the top of each page. This allows users to tear off individual sheets before they start coloring, offering flexibility and convenience.
Coloring Book Paper Options
The paper you choose for your coloring book will impact both its quality and cost. Two types of paper are typically needed:
Interior Pages: We recommend using white offset paper (also known as uncoated wood-free paper or UWF). This paper is absorbent and it is better for coloring with markers. If you want to make the paper prevent ink from bleeding through, 160gsm or 180gsm are better.
Cover: For the cover, we suggest coated art paper, which is thicker and more durable. It enhances the visual appeal of your design. If you're printing only on the outside, a one-sided coating is sufficient; for printing on both sides, choose paper coated on both sides. We recommend 250 to 300 gsm (168 to 200 lb) for a sturdy, professional finish.
In summary, offset paper for the interior and coated art paper for the cover ensures a high-quality, attractive coloring book.

- 157 gsm / 58 lb coated cover paper wrapped on 2.5 mm grey board
- 157 gsm / 58 lb coated cover paper wrapped on 3 mm grey board
- Other paper wrapped on grey board
Economical Coloring Book Size
The most popular size for coloring books is the portrait-oriented 8.5" x 11" format, suitable for both children and adults. A landscape orientation (11" x 8.5") also works well.
Other common sizes include:
- 8" x 8": A square format, often used for more compact and fun designs.
- 7" x 10": A slightly smaller option, perfect for easy handling and portability.
- 6" x 9": A common size for more portable, pocket-sized coloring books.
For first-time publishers or those on a budget, starting with the standard 8.5" x 11" size is a practical choice that meets consumer expectations.
