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 and approachable look.
Square-Corner Hardcover Board Books
This style features a hardcover with sharp, clean edges for a more traditional appearance, while the inside board pages remain rounded for safety. This style is often chosen for educational books, high-end storybooks, or other projects that require a sleek, classic finish while still remaining child-friendly.
Padded-Cover Hardcover Board Books
Incorporating a soft foam layer beneath the cover material, padded covers add a gentle touch and extra thickness to the book. This style of board book is popular for gift editions, keepsake books, and premium children’s titles due to its comfort and elegant appeal.

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. For that reason, we use paper stock sourced from FSC-certified sustainable forestry whenever possible, and we can provide recycled paper material on request. We also use environmentally-friendly soy inks that are based on harmless, 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. When you order from us, we can include the FSC-certified logo and an environmental guarantee from the manufacturer of the soy inks. With QinPrinting, you can choose eco-friendly hardcover board books printing without compromising on durability, color vibrancy, or cost-efficiency.

QinPrinting Reviews
We are so grateful and will definitely come back again for printing services!!
We are VERY grateful! Thank you
As a first-time children’s author, this whole process has been nothing short of hurdles. So, the stressors of having my book made overseas were valid. But Nelson always reassured me that everything was going to work out, and they would deliver quality books. Qin Printing did just that and more!!! Nelson patiently walked me through the entire process. He answered my endless questions with kindness. We had multiple Zoom meetings and sometimes at the last minute. Nelson followed up when my books were shipped to keep me updated on its arrival. Also, he followed up to make sure that I was satisfied with the quality of the books. I worked with Nelson from February until August because there were serious delays on my end with preparing my book to be printed. Once again, Nelson’s awesome personality was always encouraging, especially at times when I needed it the most.
When the books arrived, I couldn’t stop SMILING!! All of the hurdles were worth seeing something that I had been working on for 8 years. More importantly, the feedback that I have received from others about the quality of the books has been very comforting. I can confidently present my book When I Grow Up Adventures: Feelings Matter to others without pause. I’m so THANKFUL that I was able to do business with this company. Without hesitation, I will continue to do business with them.
As a finished artist with 30 years of experience I can comfortably recommend this company to you
