Popular Hardcover Board Book Styles
We offer several hardcover board books printing styles to suit different needs and preferences. Here are three of the most popular options:
Round-Corner Hardcover Board Books
Designed with rounded edges for safety, this style is ideal for baby and toddler books. The smooth corners reduce the risk of injury while giving the book a friendly, approachable look.
Square-Corner Hardcover Board Books
Featuring a hardcover with sharp, clean edges for a traditional and professional appearance, while the inside board pages remain rounded for safety. This style is often chosen for educational books, high-end storybooks, or projects that require a sleek, classic finish with added child-friendly features.
Padded-Cover Hardcover Board Books
Incorporating a soft foam layer beneath the cover material, padded covers add a gentle touch and extra thickness. This style is popular for gift editions, keepsake books, and premium children’s titles, providing both comfort and visual appeal.
We’re always happy to discuss new formats or unusual specifications. If you don’t see what you’re looking for above, get in touch. Our team will be glad to help.
The QinPrinting Eco-Friendly Promise
At QinPrinting, we take pride in offering hardcover board books printing services that are as environmentally responsible as they are high-quality. Whenever possible, we use paper stock sourced from FSC-certified sustainable forestry and can provide recycled materials upon request. Our printing process uses environmentally friendly soy inks—made from biodegradable vegetable products—instead of harmful resins and solvents. Printing your board books in batches with offset technology, rather than one at a time with print-on-demand, is also significantly more energy-efficient, conserving both water and electricity. On request, we can include the FSC-certified logo and an environmental guarantee from the soy ink manufacturer. With QinPrinting, you can choose eco-friendly hardcover board books printing without compromising on durability, color vibrancy, or cost-efficiency.

Most of all, we are so grateful for Nelson’s support throughout the entire process. He was consistently helpful, communicative, and detail-oriented — truly a pleasure to work with. Every step was made easier thanks to his guidance and care. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Highly recommend both the product and working with Nelson. We’ll definitely be back for future projects.
A special thanks to Nelson, who went above and beyond by sending us videos of the printed books and samples before shipping to ensure everything was perfect. His attention to detail and dedication gave us great peace of mind.
We had a children’s book printed and the final product was absolutely beautiful. The print quality, vibrant colors, sturdy binding, and professional packaging exceeded our expectations. Delivery was timely and the pricing was very competitive, especially for the high level of quality and service we received.
We were so impressed that we didn’t hesitate to place a second order with them and once again, everything was flawless.
If you're looking for a reliable, high quality, and customer focused printing company, QinPrinting is the one to go with. Highly recommended!
The product itself is so well made in terms of quality — Every detail was exactly as promised, if not better.
What really stood out to me, though, was the follow-up. Even after the purchase and delivery Nelson checked in to ensure everything was running smoothly and that I was satisfied. That level of care and commitment to customer experience is rare and truly appreciated.
