First stop plate making: Manager Jia showed the children how the "blueprint" of the book was carefully crafted, just like building a house requires drawings.
Second stop printing workshop: Walking into the roaring workshop, the huge printing press is like an efficient "steel giant", clearly "moving" exquisite graphics and text onto paper. Children observed up close and marveled at the magic of precise color presentation under high-speed operation.
The third post press processing: The 'magnificent transformation' of books is completed here;
Cutting: A huge piece of paper is precisely cut to the size of a book page.
Folding: The machine skillfully folds paper into a
Booklet.
Film attachment: Wear shiny or durable "protective clothing" on the cover.
Binding: I have witnessed two common "binding techniques" - glue nails make the spine of the book flat and firm, while saddle nails make thin booklets concise and neat.
hardcover books: Manager Jia specially showcased the complex production process and exquisite materials of
Hardcover books, allowing children to experience the side of books as "works of art".
Terminal packaging: Watching brand new books being packed into bundles, ready to go, about to rush to bookstores and libraries, flying into the hands of thousands of readers. The children's faces were filled with satisfied smiles, as if they had seen the "birthplace" of their own books in their hands.
The laughter and safety of children are the deepest concerns of Haikuo. To ensure the smooth progress of this practical activity, Haikuo Printing Factory has specially established a safety team. From the moment the children stepped into the factory area, the safety team members guarded the entire process, constantly monitoring the movements of each child, guiding them to visit safely and orderly, patiently answering questions, integrating safety concepts into every visit, and building a solid safety barrier for this knowledge exploration journey.
The end of the event is full of surprises and warmth! To commemorate this unforgettable exploration journey, Haikuo Printing Factory has carefully prepared a special gift for each child - an exquisite Calendar printed by Haikuo Printing Factory itself. This book calendar not only carries practical date functions, but also embodies the essence of printing technology that children have just witnessed firsthand. When the children received this gift with the fragrance of ink, excitement and pride were evident in their words. This is not just a souvenir, but also a physical bond that connects them with the mystery of the birth of books, allowing them to bring home the vast "imprint" of the sea and their longing for knowledge.
Sow seeds, reap the future
This immersive "Birth of Books" not only allowed children to witness and touch every aspect of book production with their own hands (under guidance), but also planted in their hearts a reverence for knowledge carriers and a preliminary understanding of the spirit of craftsmanship. They understood that every exquisite book in their hands was the result of countless intricate collaborations and the hard work of the workers. And the book calendar printed by Haikuo will become a vivid reminder in their daily lives, constantly reminiscing about the gains of this exploration.
The fragrance of books lingers far, leaving a lasting impression. Haikuo Printing Factory is honored to open this window for children to understand the mysteries of the birth of books and be one of the guides on their journey of exploration. We look forward to more such opportunities in the future, and work together with all sectors of society and educational institutions to pass on the fragrance of books, inspire wisdom, and achieve more dreams! May this "book like" heartfelt message from Haikuo accompany children to write more wonderful chapters!
