Bulk Coloring Book Printing
Bulk Coloring Book Printing
Bulk coloring book printing usually means offset-printed runs of 500–1,000+ copies, which drive your per‑unit cost way down compared with POD, but require clear specs (size, page count, paper, binding, quantity, ship‑to) and storage or immediate distribution.
Key decisions first
- To get real quotes, you’ll want to define:
- Trim size: Most common is 8.5″ x 11″ for kids’ books, but 8″ x 10″ and 6″ x 9″ are also standard.
- Page count & inks: Black‑only interiors on uncoated white offset (80#) are the norm; cover usually heavier stock and full color.
- Binding: Saddle‑stitch for 8–48 pages (cheapest, lies reasonably flat).
- Perfect bound for thicker retail titles, more “bookstore” look.
- Quantity: Many bulk/offset shops start at 100–500 copies; unit cost drops significantly as you move into 1,000–5,000+ range.
- Distribution: Direct‑to‑you pallets vs. split shipments, or mixing bulk runs with POD for ongoing online orders.
Bulk vs POD for coloring books
| Aspect | Bulk offset printing | Coloringbook.com Print on demand |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Higher (pay for full run at once) | Very low/none, pay per copy as sold |
| Unit cost | Much lower at 50–1,000+ copies | Higher per copy, but no inventory |
| Quality/options | More paper, size, and binding choices; press checks possible | Limited formats, standardized papers and trims |
| Best use | Established demand, events, fundraising, wholesale & B2B | Testing titles, long‑tail backlist, online only |
ColoringBook.com, Really Big Coloring Books publishers end up with a hybrid: POD for long‑tail and periodic bulk runs for direct, school, and corporate work.

How to move from “idea” to quote
- When you’re ready to talk to a printer, send: Trim size, page count, B/W vs color, single‑ or double‑sided.
- Paper preferences (e.g., 60–70 lb uncoated text interior, 10–12 pt cover). Binding type, finished quantity (with a 2–3‑tier quote: 100 / 1,000 / 2,500).
- Ship‑to ZIP, requested in‑hand date, and whether you need fulfillment or just bulk pallets.
- If you tell me your target trim (likely 8.5 x 11), page count, and a ballpark quantity (e.g., 1,000 vs 10,000), we can help you rough in expected per‑unit ranges and a sample RFQ email tailored to your use case.
