Fully Customizable Production Options

A concept art book is not just printed — it is constructed. We offer complete customization to ensure your book matches the scale and ambition of your artwork.

Fully Customizable Dimensions

The size of a concept art book directly influences how artwork is perceived. We support fully custom trim sizes — tailored precisely to your project requirements.

Common Concept Art Book Sizes

While fully customizable sizes are available, the following dimensions are commonly used for concept art books, offering the perfect balance between visual impact and practical usability:

8.5″ x 8.5″ (Square) – A popular choice for balanced, all-around presentations.
Perfect for displaying detailed character designs, environment sketches, and illustrations.

9″ x 12″ (Portrait, slightly vertical) – One of the most popular formats for concept art books. Ideal for showcasing full-page character sheets, environment designs, and larger illustrations with rich details.

11″ x 8.5″ (Landscape) – A versatile option that provides more horizontal space. Perfect for large, panoramic environment art, storyboards, or full spread layouts.

10″ x 12″ (Portrait with extra height) – Great for artistic expression and bold visual storytelling. Offers a slightly larger format than the typical 9″ x 12″ for intricate pieces.

12″ x 12″ (Square) – A slightly larger square format often chosen for collector editions. Perfect for highly detailed concept art with an emphasis on visual impact.

Landscape vs. Portrait Format

The orientation of your concept art book plays a significant role in the design:

  • Landscape: Ideal for wide-format art, such as expansive environments, cinematic scenes, or large illustrations. The horizontal layout allows for dramatic full-spread presentations.
  • Portrait: Best for character sheets, character turnarounds, and designs that are more vertically oriented. It maintains a classic, professional look for many portfolios.

Paper Options

For most concept art books, gloss art paper or matte art paper in 128–157gsm is the preferred choice for interior pages. This range provides strong opacity to prevent show-through, while maintaining flexibility for multi-page volumes.

Gloss art paper enhances brightness and contrast, making colors appear more intense and dynamic. Matte art paper offers a softer, controlled finish with reduced glare, preserving subtle gradients and dark scene detail.

Both options ensure sharp image reproduction, dense blacks, and vibrant color performance — allowing your artwork to retain its full visual power in print.

Beyond coated stock, we also offer uncoated paper for a softer, more natural presentation, textured paper for added tactile character, and specialty options such as holographic or iridescent paper for visually striking editions.
