When people typically think of coloring books, they conjure up images of themselves (or their children) at five or six years of age with a box of Crayola crayons trying to fill in outlines of cartoon characters with festive colors. However, in recent years, coloring books intended for adults have become widely available as many have found the activity of coloring to be a great way to relax and unwind. The types and varieties of images to be colored range from intricate geometric patterns, bucolic landscapes, and fine art reproductions to sexually-oriented material.
And, while crayons can still be utilized to color the image, adults typically find other art media like colored markers, pencils, watercolors, and acrylic paints to be more enjoyable. Like coloring books designed for children, adult coloring books are frequently printed with full-color, glossy covers while the interior pages are printed with black ink on an opaque paper stock suitable to accept different media. Depending on the number of pages, the books might use saddle-stitch binding or perfect binding. Higher end adult coloring books will have laminated covers, perforated interior pages for easy removal, and deploy spiral coil or wire-o binding so the pages can lie flat when the book is open.
Why Print Adult Coloring Books?
Like other commercial products, adult coloring books are produced, distributed and sold through regular retail chains, outlets and online stores. In addition, adult coloring books are ideal for the following:
- Promotional Items – Adult coloring books can be created with themes/images directly related to a business or organization and can include other marketing messages or offers like coupons, etc.
- Fundraising – Various organizations often look for unique products to use in fundraising campaigns. Adult coloring books are inexpensive to produce and can be printed with content specific to the organization’s wants and needs.
- Exposure and Visibility – Adult coloring books get used over a period of months or years and are then often kept as keepsakes or mementos. Imprinting a coloring book with a company or organization’s name, logo, and contact information is great way to create and/or maintain brand awareness and exposure.
