Notebook Gift Boxes.

Snug enough that the notebook can't slide at all, with a ribbon pull or thumb notch to lift it out. Notebooks have square edges, so even a small gap along one side shows the moment the lid comes off.

We cut the bed from a sample of the actual book, because the listed trim size ignores how far the cover boards overhang the pages.

The bound spine, plus any elastic band or bookmark ribbon, sits higher than the cover boards. A lid sized to the page block will press on the spine and leave a mark, or it won't sit flat on a two-piece box.

We measure the book at its thickest point, which is usually across the spine, and set the lid clearance from there. Elastic closures and pen loops fixed to the book count toward that height.

Yes, the set format adds a pen channel or loop and a card slot beside the notebook bay. Our 10 x 8 x 3 inch set size gives room for a pen next to an A5 book, with a welcome card on top or tucked into the lid.

Corporate welcome kits are the usual order for this layout. Each bay is cut to its own item, so nothing rattles when the box is picked up.

Yes, and matching the two is the usual brief for this box. A foil mark struck in the same position and colour as the cover stamp, or a deboss on a linen or kraft wrap that echoes the book's texture, makes box and notebook read as a pair.

Stationery buyers notice surface, so uncoated and soft-touch papers go down well. We'll put your cover sample beside our wrap swatches before you approve anything.

Our common single size is 9 x 7 x 2 inches, which houses a standard A5 hardcover with room for a fitted bed. B5 books and stationery sets move up to around 10 x 8 x 3 inches. We quote inside length by width by depth.

Send the book's measured size, including cover overhang and any elastic, and we'll set the bed and lid clearance from that.

The minimum run for notebook gift boxes is 500 units. That suits most onboarding programmes, where a company orders a year of welcome kits at once and draws them down as people join.

Larger quantities bring the unit cost down, and the quote shows the breaks at higher volumes so you can compare.

Standard production is 7 to 10 business days once the proof is signed off, and rush runs take 5 to 7. A physical sample built around your own notebook lands in 5 to 7 business days for anyone wanting to check the fit first.

Whatever that sample cost is netted against the invoice for the full run.

Yes, as long as the base is specified for it, since paper is denser than the box size suggests. We use a heavier rigid board in the base and a bed that spreads the load across the whole floor, so the bottom doesn't bow when someone lifts the box.

A well-built notebook box tends to stay on the desk as storage afterwards, which is one more reason to put the spend into the base.
