Eight ways to make it yours
Choose one or several. We'll suggest what works for your quantity and timeline.
Paper
127 gsm sugarcane, good with a fountain pen, or chosen to your brief
Cover materials
Kraft, textured and coloured covers to suit your brand
Binding
Chosen for how the book will be used
Branding
Your logo debossed or printed on the cover
Colours
Cover colours matched as closely as possible to your brand
Inside pages
Plain, lined or dotted, with printed pages on larger runs
Packaging
Wrapping and boxes for gifting and events
Options vary by project and quantity.
Made around your brand
Paper, binding, cover and packaging can all be chosen around your brand. Textured kraft for a café, book cloth for a gallery, a new format for an event. We'll tell you what's possible for your quantity and timeline.
How an order works
Five steps, with a firm price and date on your quote before anything begins.
Your brief
Tell us what the books are for, how many you need and when. A few lines is enough to start.
Your quote
Options for cover, paper and finish, chosen for how the book will be used, with a firm price and date.
Sign-off
You approve the artwork and a proof. For fully custom editions, we make one book first so you can hold it before the run.
Making
Your books are made, checked by hand and packed. Usually 3 to 5 weeks for branded, 6 to 8 for fully custom.
Delivery
Tracked, to one address or several, across the UK, Europe and the USA. Delivery is priced on your quote.
Who we make for
We work with cafés, studios, architects, event organisers, and independent brands. From wedding keepsakes to corporate gifting, our notebooks and paper goods become lasting representations of your identity.
Paper that grows back
Our recommended paper is made from bagasse, the fibre left after sugarcane is pressed for juice. It means fewer trees are cut for paper, and a by-product finds a use. It writes beautifully, too.
We'd rather tell you exactly what's in a book than put a badge on it.
Questions buyers ask
What is the minimum order?
20 books for branded orders and for our books in quantity, and 50 for fully custom notebooks. For smaller runs, ask us: we can sometimes make a handful by hand.
How much do custom notebooks cost?
It depends on quantity, paper, cover and finish, and larger runs cost less per book. Tell us roughly how many you need and when, and we'll send a price guide within one working day.
Can you add our logo?
Yes. Most clients choose a blind deboss, pressed into the cover without ink, and emboss and print are also possible. We need vector artwork (AI, EPS or PDF), with lines at least 0.3 mm and text at least 7 pt. If your mark is finer, we'll suggest how to adapt it.
Can you match our brand colour?
We match covers, thread and print as closely as the materials allow, from your Pantone references. Colours on screen can differ from the real material, so we show you the actual materials first.
Can the inside pages be customised?
Yes. Choose plain, lined, dotted or grid pages. On smaller runs we can add printed endpapers or a pattern print, and fully designed pages are possible on larger runs.
How long does it take?
Branded orders usually take 3 to 5 weeks from artwork sign-off, and fully custom books 6 to 8 weeks from sample sign-off. Books in quantity are dispatched in about 3 working days. Every quote carries a firm date, so if you have a deadline, tell us at the start.
Can we see a sample first?
You can order any of our books at the usual price to try the paper and binding. For fully custom projects, we make a sample of your book for you to approve in hand before production.
Do you deliver internationally?
Yes. We deliver across the UK, Europe and the USA, to one address or several. Delivery is quoted with your order.
Can we reorder later?
Yes. We keep your die, so reorders are quicker and simpler to set up.
Can you make a new size or format?
Yes. Fully custom books can take almost any size, from pocket books to large sketchbooks, in portrait, landscape or square. We'll advise on what works for your quantity.
