Board book
A board book is a type of children's book printed on thick paperboard. The paperboard is printed and used for both the cover and the interior pages. Each page panel is a minimum of two plies of paperboard thickness. Unlike a typical paper book that is bound with saddle stitching (staples) or perfect binding, a board book's pages are specially folded and bound together.
A typical board book, the pages are just over 1mm thick, and there are very few of them.
Board books are very durable, and consequently are intended for small children, who often tend to be less gentle with books. Most of the board books produced in the world are produced in China and Mexico; however, there is one board book printer still located in the United States, and some printers still in Europe.
