Printed Notebooks
A book that gets written in, so paper weight decides whether ink shows through.
Notebooks are judged by how a pen behaves on the page. Weight, coating and binding are chosen for writing, not for reading.

Every detail. Intentional.

Built like architecture.
Every order of Custom Printed Notebooks is an engineered build, measured, dieline-cut and hand-wrapped to spec. Below is the standard build sheet.

The full kit of capabilities.
Sizing & dieline.
We cut Custom Printed Notebooks to a dieline built around your product instead of pulling a stock size off the shelf. Send us the length, width and height of the item (or the item itself) and we return a measured dieline, free, before you commit to anything.
Length, width and height of the item itself, at its widest points. Measure the product, not the box you happen to use today.
Allow 2–4 mm on each axis for a snug fit, and more if you are adding foam, a pillow insert or tissue.
We quote as Length × Width × Height. Tell us whether you are working in millimetres or inches and we match it.
✦ Not sure of your size? Send us the product and we measure it and build the dieline.
Pricing & minimums.
We price Custom Printed Notebooks per specification rather than from a fixed list, because the same build in two different finishes can land at very different numbers. Below is what actually moves the price, so you can shape the spec before you request a quote.
The single biggest lever. Unit cost falls sharply as volume rises, because setup and tooling spread across more pieces.
Board weight and stock choice change both the raw material cost and the shipping weight of the finished run.
Foil, spot UV, embossing and soft-touch each add a pass on press. One or two lift the box; five compound the cost.
Full-bleed print inside and out costs more than a one-sided design on natural stock.
Foam, moulded pulp, velvet pillows, magnets and ribbon are priced per piece on top of the box itself.
Standard production is the base rate. Rush moves you up the production queue and carries a surcharge.

Questions, answered.
Everything you need to know about Custom Printed Notebooks.
80gsm is fine for ballpoint and keeps the unit cost where a giveaway needs it, while 100gsm is the step up for a notebook given as a considered gift. Show-through is the test a recipient applies without thinking. We do not offer 120gsm on this product, because at giveaway volume the extra paper cost rarely pays back.
Wire-o, which lies flat and is only a small step up in cost. Stapled binding is the cheapest and suits thin books. Perfect binding is available but will not lie flat, so we point most corporate orders to wire-o. Cover board takes a year of bag-to-desk handling, and a kraft cover is the low-cost natural option for eco-led ranges.
Yes, and the inside pages are the biggest missed surface on this product. A footer on every page, a printed first page, section dividers or a back-page reference all keep the brand in view every time the book is opened. We do not ship blank interiors on a corporate run. Ruled, plain, grid or dotted pages are chosen to the audience.
For a corporate notebook, usually yes. A blind deboss pressed into the cover board is understated, durable and reads as considered, where surface print can look like a giveaway. Full-colour cover print is still available and suits a brighter brand. Soft-touch lamination is the gift-tier finish, and it pairs well with a deboss.
A5 at 5.83 × 8.27 inches is the standard corporate size, with A4 at 8.27 × 11.69 inches for desk use. A6 pocket books are also in the range. The size given is the closed trimmed book, and wire-o adds a few millimetres to the spine edge.
500 is the minimum. That is a single conference or an onboarding batch. Matched sets with pens and folders are quoted alongside, and the notebook price steps down once you pass 1,000, up to 100,000 units on one order.
Standard production is 7 to 10 business days after proof approval, with rush at 5 to 7 business days. A bound sample takes 5 to 7 business days and lets you test a pen on the actual paper. We credit the sample fee back when the order goes ahead.
Yes, recycled paper interiors and kraft covers are both in the range. At corporate giveaway volumes the recycled choice is meaningful, and a kraft cover with a deboss suits sustainability-led branding at low cost. A wire-o binding pulls out so the paper block recycles on its own.
