How a Custom Order Works
From first message to shipment — a typical OEM order runs through five steps. Nothing goes into bulk production before you approve a physical sample.
01
Send Your Inquiry
Share a full spec or just a reference photo with target quantity. You get a quote with material and process options within 24 hours.
02
Confirm Specs & Quote
We lock size, material, binding, printing and packaging together, then issue a proforma invoice.
03
Digital Proof in 48h
Layout, logo placement, colors and inner-page design — revised until you approve, at no extra cost.
04
Physical Sample in 5–7 Days
A pre-production sample shipped by express. Sample cost is refundable against your bulk order.
05
Bulk Production & QC
In-house printing, binding and finishing with inline QC. FOB / EXW shipping worldwide, DDP on request.

Cover Materials
Every cover below can carry your logo — the material choice decides which logo processes look best. Material swatches are available for sampling.
PU Leather
The most popular choice — textured finishes, wide color range, ideal for foil and UV logos.
Genuine Leather
Premium executive and gift lines; deboss and foil stamping.
Fabric & Linen Wrap
Natural, tactile covers; works with foil, silk screen and tip-on labels.
Kraft & Recycled Board
Eco positioning that pairs with FSC and recycled inner paper.
PP / Plastic
Water-resistant and wipeable — schools, outdoors and kids’ lines.
Greyboard Printed Wrap
Full-color CMYK print with matte or gloss lamination — unlimited artwork.
Cover hardware: elastic closure, ribbon marker, pen loop, metal corners, magnetic flap and spine labels.
Paper Options
Paper sets the writing feel and the unit cost. All weights below are in stock; specialty papers can be sourced per project.
Woodfree White, 70–120gsm
Standard inner paper; smooth surface for clean writing.
Cream / Ivory, 80–100gsm
Reduced glare and a premium journal feel.
Recycled & FSC-Certified
For eco-friendly lines with a verifiable fiber claim.
Acid-Free Archival
Long-term storage without yellowing or brittleness.
Cardstock, 200–300gsm
For softcovers, inserts and divider tabs.
Binding Types
Binding decides how the notebook behaves in the hand — whether it lies flat, how many pages it holds and what it costs. Not sure which to pick? We recommend by usage and budget.
| Binding | Layflat | Typical Pages | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smyth Sewn Hardcover | Yes — completely | 96–240 | Premium journals & gift lines |
| Perfect Bound (Softcover) | No | 48–192 | Cost-effective full-color covers |
| Wire-O / Spiral | Yes — wraps 360° | 40–200 | Offices, schools & promotions |
| Saddle Stitch | Yes | 8–48 | Thin booklets & memo books |
Sewn signatures can also be cased into a hardcover (case binding) — the premium combination used for layflat journals.
Logo Printing & Cover Finishing
From classic gold-foil notebook logos to full-color UV prints — combine processes for a premium result. We mock up every logo position in the digital proof.
Foil Stamping
Gold, silver, rose gold, copper or holographic foil on leather, fabric and paper covers.
Emboss / Deboss
Raised or pressed logo — blind (no color) or combined with foil.
UV Printing
Full-color logos on dark PU and leather where foil can only do single color.
Silk Screen
Durable one- and two-color printing on fabric and PP covers.
Edge Coloring & Gilding
Painted or metallic book-block edges for a signature look.
Tip-On Labels
Printed paper or leather labels glued to the cover.
Inner Pages & Planner Layouts
Custom inner pages are what turn a notebook into your product — most competitors only print the cover. Print your own journal from cover to cover.
Standard Layouts
Lined, dot grid, squared or blank — included at no extra cost.
Print Your Own Journal Pages
Fully custom inner printing: calendars, habit trackers, brand storytelling and advertising pages.
Planner Layouts
Dated or undated, daily / weekly / monthly, academic-year formats in any language.
Custom Inserts
World map, unit conversions, index and contact pages, printed divider tabs.
Personalization
Names or logos printed on inner pages, page numbering, side indexes.
Packaging & Shipping
Neutral export packing is included; upgrade to retail-ready packaging where the unboxing matters. We ship worldwide — FOB / EXW standard, DDP on request.
Standard Export Packing
Individual poly bag + neutral export carton — included by default.
Custom Gift Boxes
Rigid or folding gift boxes, sleeves and belly bands for retail and gifting.
Sets & Combos
Notebook + pen sets, boxed pairs and retail-ready multi-packs.
