These days, it seems like anything can be found for free on the internet. But sometimes when you want something done right, you have to pay for it. This is especially true when it comes to kids book printing. Although there are a few ways to save money on this process, most of them come with a cost: lower quality, fewer options, or longer wait times.

Luckily, there are also functional ways to save money on kids book printing costs without sacrificing the printing quality.It’s time to put those tips into action. Here are 18 tips you can take to save some money on your next print order.

18 tips on saving money on kids book printing

1.Compare quotes from different printers. It’s important to compare quotes from different printers in order to find the best deal. Keep in mind that the price of book printing can vary depending on the type of printer, the number of copies being printed, and binding style and so on.Take into account not only the cost of the printing itself but also the shipping and handling charges.

2.Use a Quality Printer.Not all printing companies will offer the same services and not all of them can provide you with the same results too. You need to make sure that your chosen book printer is well equipped and has a good reputation for producing quality products and providing excellent customer service along with fast turnaround times. It's also important to make sure they are suited for the job.

Here at TIMI Printing,we have 2 Heidelberg printing machines, 2 CTP machines,10 after-printing process machines and 2 streamlines production lines, providing you with more professional products and services.

3.Order in Bulk.If you're planning to print a large number of kids books, it's often cheaper to do so in bulk. Contact the printer to get a quote for printing 500 or 1,000 copies at once.

4.Use Digital Printing.If you don't need a large quantity of kids books, consider using digital printing. This process is faster and less expensive than traditional printing, and it can be used for small quantities as well as large runs.

5.Use a Template.Printers often have templates available for free or at a nominal cost. Using a template can help you save time and money on your kids book printing project.

6.Choose a standard size for your kids book. Unless you have a specific need for a custom size,choosing a standard size for your kids book can help reduce the cost of printing. Most printers have standard sizes that they print books in, so be sure to ask your printer what size they recommend.

7.Use a binding style that is economical. There are many different types of bindings to choose from and not all of them are created equal in terms of price. If you are looking to save money on your kids book printing costs, ask your printer about wire-o binding ,spiral binding, perfect binding or saddle stitching.

8.Print paperback books instead of hardcover or softcover.Printing paperback books is less expensive than hardcover or softcover books. But if you really want hardback or softback printing, check to see if the company offers a flexible cover option so it's not printed as hardcover with stiff covers. You might also try looking at print-on-demand publishers for this type of printing. They offer different types of book covers, including paperback.

9.Don’t print any extras.Don’t print any extras until you’re sure they will be needed. It’s a bad idea to print too many copies of your kids book because extra books will just bring more inventorying,take up space and cost you more money for carrying and storage , even if they aren’t selling (and in some cases, you might end up with extra books that you can’t sell). Only print the number of copies that you think you will need.

10.Print your kids book on both sides of the page.Most printers offer a two-sided option so you can save on paper costs and shipping charges by printing your kids book on both sides of the page instead of just one side.

11.Use recycled paper for your kids book printing.Printing on 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper is good for the environment, but it's also good for your wallet because using this type of paper can save you up to 20 percent or more in paper costs compared to non-recycled paper.

12.Choose Paperweight Wisely.It's important to note that paper weight can affect the price of your book. The lighter you go, the more it will cost. However, if you pick a thicker paper stock, your book may feel too bulky or "thick" to readers.

13.Don’t use too many different fonts throughout the kids book. There should be one main font and then maybe another for chapter headings or subheadings. Using too many different fonts can be expensive because the printer has to set up new machinery or alter their existing machines in order for your specific font to be produced.There are many different fonts to choose from, but some may be more expensive to use than others. For example, Garamond would cost you more because it's considered a fancy font. Opt for something like Arial or Helvetica instead.Select the less expensive fonts.

14.Use the same ink for all of your copies. Printing different copies of your kids book with different types of ink will cost you more money, so it’s important to use the same type of ink on every copy that you print. Also, try not to mix black and colored inks.

15.Limit the number of pages in your kids book. The more pages your kids book has, the more it will cost to print. If you can get your content across in a concise and well-organized way, you will be saving on printing costs.

16.Proofread your kids book carefully for mistakes. Proofread your kids book first before you actually go ahead and print it, this can save a lot on your printing costs as there is a good chance that the finished product may need to be printed again. Proofreading your kids book before printing it out will help you find mistakes in your book .The fewer mistakes there are, the less it will cost to have them fixed.

17.Avoid rush jobs.When it comes to getting your kids book printed, you want to be sure to avoid any rush jobs. This is because these jobs often come with a higher price tag, as the printer is working under more pressure to get the job done quickly. Instead, try to schedule your print job well in advance, so that you can avoid any unnecessary costs.

18.Ask if there is a discount.Do some research and find out if your book printer offers volume discounts or even money-saving coupons that you can use.This is also a good way to help save money.

  1. I totally agree when you said that rush jobs should be avoided to ensure that you avoid unnecessary costs, so scheduling things correctly would be a good idea. I think that applies as well with hardcover book printing jobs, especially when the material would be a little harder to work on. Any writer should be aware of this if they want a quality outcome for readers to actually avail their work and refer them to others.
