Books & publications
Board-book projects need close attention to page construction, corners, coatings and the intended age group. Those details should be confirmed for each project before production.
Common projects
The written quote records the format, materials, production scope, delivery treatment and any specialist requirement for the actual job.
Project perspective
For a board-book project, the age group and intended use affect more than the visual design. They inform how the pages are constructed, how corners and edges are considered, what the artwork needs to allow for and which project requirements must be checked. Rather than assume a generic specification, bring the story flow, target reader and desired format to the quote discussion.
What affects the quote
Specification options
These are discussion points, not a fixed public specification. The written quote names the materials, construction and proof route for the job.
Artwork handover
Common questions
Not necessarily. Consider the intended reader, content, size, page rhythm and handling before choosing a board-book route.
A page plan or dummy, finished size, intended reader, approximate quantity, artwork stage and any relevant project requirement are a strong starting point.
Planning a book run?
A manuscript, rough PDF or page plan is enough for an initial review. The cover, paper, colour pattern and proof route can be settled in the written specification.
