Custom sizing layouts

Selecting the correct proportions and paper stock for your activity book entirely changes how users interact with the final product. We offer a wide assortment of standard UK formats alongside custom dimensions to accommodate any creative layout:

  • Standard A4 format (210 x 297 mm): A traditional, spacious layout option that offers a generous canvas for your activities. The A4 printing format is perfectly suited for intricate puzzles, academic workbooks, and adult colouring books that require maximum room for fine lines and details.
  • Standard A5 format (148 x 210 mm): A compact, travel-friendly booklet alternative. It provides a portable, flexible layout that’s great for pocket-sized puzzle booklets, low-volume learning tools, or bespoke gifts for children on the move.
  • Square formats: The unique and modern square layout works beautifully for contemporary illustrations, maze books, or eye-catching merchandise sold at community gatherings.

Exceptional uncoated stocks

The texture, coating, and weight of your paper directly dictate how various writing tools like pens, pencils, and crayons interact with the printed page. Customise your print project with specialised paper options extending from 100 gsm uncoated text up to a robust 300 gsm cover card:
  • Internal pages (100 gsm uncoated text): We strongly recommend utilising heavy uncoated paper stock for the inner pages of your book. Its natural, porous texture provides an optimal surface for felt-tip pens, crayons, and highlighters to absorb properly without smearing. Choosing a substantial text weight significantly lowers the risk of ink bleeding or ghosting onto the reverse side.
  • Stocks to avoid: Always steer clear of glossy or silk-coated papers for any internal pages meant to be written on. Slick, coated surfaces mean ink and wax will smudge and slide around rather than bonding to the page, completely ruining the writing and puzzle-solving experience.
  • External covers (up to 300 gsm cover): Thick, heavyweight cover card acts as an excellent defensive shield for your book. Selecting a high-grade, heavy cover means the booklet remains durable for the user, adding a premium bookstore feel while providing a stable, rigid backing surface to work on.

Combine your layout with the ideal binding style

Your binding choice dictates both the visual presentation of your layout and how easily the pages can be used by the reader:

  • Saddle-stitched (stapled crease): A timeless choice for classic activity book production. This method is highly economical and allows for rapid manufacturing turnarounds. Crucially, it lets the booklet open effortlessly and lie relatively flat, making it exceptionally comfortable for users to draw or write right into the inner spine margins.
  • Perfect bound (glued softcover): This method binds your pages into a premium paperback format featuring a professional, square spine, which is fantastic for thick, retail-quality volumes. It is the premier choice for comprehensive puzzle anthologies, offering a polished look that stands out on retail shelves.

High-function outlines for schools, charities, and independent brands

From freelance illustrators to corporate marketing teams developing interactive brand assets, our custom activity books deliver a highly engaging and tangible user experience. Training enterprises and schools find our short-run printing ideal for bespoke educational materials, workshops, or classroom workbooks.

Activity book printing: frequently asked questions

Keep reading for extra information about our activity book printing service!

An activity book generally features a blend of interactive content like puzzles, word searches, crosswords, mazes, dot-to-dot games, and colouring pages designed to captivate and entertain readers.

Compile your puzzles and drawings into a single, sequential PDF file. Ensure your pages are in the correct order, select your preferred UK dimension (such as A4 or A5), opt for uncoated interior paper, and upload the file to Doxzoo for immediate printing.

For younger audiences, include simple mazes, matching games, counting puzzles, basic word games, and large, uncomplicated line illustrations for colouring. Always ensure the content is fun and age-appropriate.

Common varieties include children's educational workbooks, adult mindfulness colouring and puzzle compilations, corporate promotional booklets, holiday travel journals, and charity campaign guides.

Yes, we have no minimum order limitations. You can print an individual copy to review your layout and paper selections before committing to a larger production batch.

We strongly recommend using uncoated paper (such as 100 gsm or 120 gsm) for the interior sheets. Uncoated paper allows coloured pencils, pens, and crayons to mark smoothly without smearing.

Saddle-stitched binding is fantastic for thinner publications as it opens wide and stays flat easily. Perfect binding is better suited for thicker books, giving them a professional, square paperback spine.

Please upload your document as a single multi-page PDF. For full-bleed layouts where lines or colours extend right to the edge, include a 3mm bleed margin on all sides of every page.

Glossy or silk-coated stocks prevent ink, wax, and graphite from gripping or absorbing into the paper. This results in severe smudging and destroys the ability to write or colour properly.

Doxzoo provides speedy production timelines and nationwide shipping tiers. While perfect bound books require a bit more time for the spine glue to cure and bind, our saddle-stitched booklets can be completed and dispatched ultra-fast.
