Guide To Customising Your Bespoke Notebooks

Bespoke notebooks have become increasingly popular in recent years for businesses and organisations looking to stand out and connect with their audience. These custom-made notebooks are easily tailored to meet specific preferences and requirements, whether for writing, journaling, sketching, or note-taking. Unlike standard notebooks, every detail can be customised from the cover material to the size, colour and internal pages. Select from cover materials such as paper, cloth, wood and faux leather. The option to add your own printed pages, such as calendars and mind map pages, allows you to create a unique writing experience for the recipient. Finish by customising the physical features such as the elastic fastener, ribbon bookmark and pen loops. This high level of customisation makes them the ideal promotional item for corporate gifting, event giveaways and loyalty programs.

Choosing The Right Size

When designing your custom notebooks, think about their purpose. Decide if you need a portable option for events or a larger one with more writing space.

A6 Notebooks – Compact and portable, A6 notebooks are ideal for those on the move. Their small size makes them easy to carry, fitting comfortably in your bag or pocket. Great for jotting down thoughts, ideas, or notes during meetings or lectures. They’re a handy choice for travellers, commuters, or anyone who prefers a lightweight option.

A5 Notebooks – Our most popular notebook range, small enough to fit inside your bag but with enough writing space for journaling, planning, or creative writing. Ideal for event giveaways

A4 Notebooks – If you’re looking for ample writing space, A4 notebooks are the way to go. They provide space for creativity and organisation, whether for detailed sketches, to-do lists, brainstorming or revision notes. Great for artists, students, or anyone who prefers a large layout for writing or drawing.

Cover Customisation Options

Our bespoke notebooks primarily come with soft-feel thermal PU covers as they offer excellent colours and printing choices. Pantone matched options available. If you’re looking for a sustainable choice for your giveaways, we offer eco-friendly options with covers made from paper-based and recycled leather materials. The cover provides plenty of room for personalising with your logo, slogan and imagery, allowing you to unleash your creativity without any limits.
