Kunda Kids: A Case Study in Printing a Series of Children’s Books
Kunda Kids, a vibrant and innovative children’s book publisher, embarked on a journey to create a series of engaging and culturally rich books for children. The goal was to bring African stories to the global stage, and they turned to ExWhyZed, a leading printing company, for help. The result? A beautifully printed series of books that have delighted children and adults alike.
The Journey Begins
Kunda Kids had a vision: to create a series of children’s books that would celebrate African stories and culture. They wanted the books to be vibrant, engaging, and of high quality. To achieve this, they needed a printing partner who could deliver on all these fronts. They chose Ex Why Zed, known for their expertise in Children’s Book Printing We engaged in a series of Zoom meetings to discuss the possibilities for binding, paper types and sizing. These proved invaluable to novice authors and played a key role in guiding the tea through the process of what could be achieved in print.
The Printing Process
ExWhyZed took on the project with enthusiasm. The books were to be printed as 210x210mm Perfect Bound Books, with a 4-page cover onto 350gsm Gloss. The cover was gloss laminated to the outer, and the 32 inside pages were printed onto 170gsm Silk. Full colour print was used throughout, and the books were trimmed, collated and perfect bound.
The result was a series of books that were not only visually appealing but also durable and of high quality. The vibrant colours and glossy finish made the illustrations pop, capturing the attention of children and making the reading experience more enjoyable.
The Outcome
The Kunda Kids book series was a resounding success. The books were well-received by children and parents alike, and the series has gained significant recognition. The success of the project is a testament to the power of a well-executed printing process and the importance of choosing the right printing partner.
