Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What is the lead time for processing and shipping my custom Deskpad order?
For orders under 50 deskpads, we strive to process and ship them the same day. However, unlike notebooks, deskpads require drying time after printing, which can add a small amount of time to the production process. For larger orders or more complex customizations, we will provide you with a specific lead time based on your needs. Rest assured, we’re committed to fast service and will keep you updated throughout the process. - What brand of paper do you use for custom notebooks?
We exclusively use Double A paper, which is known globally as the gold standard for high-quality print and copy paper. This premium paper ensures that your custom deskpads have excellent print clarity, smoothness, and durability. While other local brands such as Typek and Rotatrim are commonly available, we choose Double A for its superior quality and consistency, which guarantees that your notebooks last longer and feel premium.
- What’s the difference between Deskpads and deskpads?
Deskpads are typically portrait-oriented and used for jotting down notes, to-do lists, or quick reminders — ideal for meetings, journaling, or everyday writing. Deskpads, on the other hand, are usually landscape in layout and designed to sit flat on your desk, combining note space with daily, weekly, or monthly planning. Think of Deskpads as handheld and portable, while deskpads act like a mini command centre for your day.
- Can I get a sample of your custom notebooks before placing a large order?
Yes, we absolutely offer custom notebook samples before you commit to a large order! We understand how important it is to ensure the quality, finish, and design of your notebooks meet your expectations. To make sure you’re fully satisfied, we recommend starting with a single sample unit so you can review everything from the paper quality to the binding. If you’ve ordered from us before, the sample is completely free! Simply reach out to us and we’ll be happy to send one your way.
- Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom deskpads?
For wirebound deskpads, there is no minimum order quantity (MOQ). Whether you need one deskpad or a larger order, we can accommodate your needs. However, if you prefer glued deskpads, we require a minimum of 25 units. Gluing a smaller quantity, such as just one 13-sheet deskpad, is challenging due to the production process involved. We find that a batch of at least 25 allows us to maintain quality and efficiency while meeting your customization needs. Whether you need a small or large order, we are flexible and ready to help!
What Are Custom Desk Planners & Personalised Desk Calendars Used For?
Custom-printed desk planners serve as powerful tools for organisation, communication, and brand reinforcement. These aren’t just calendars—they’re strategic assets that help businesses and individuals stay focused, aligned, and inspired:
- Corporate Planning & Team Coordination: Many offices use custom desk planners to keep teams on track with quarterly goals, project timelines, and meeting schedules. Having a centralised visual reference at every workstation helps reduce missed deadlines and improves overall productivity. These planners can also include company values, motivational quotes, or internal contact lists to reinforce culture and collaboration.
- Branded Promotional Tools: Businesses often distribute custom desk planners as end-of-year gifts, client thank-you packages, or conference swag. These planners double as subtle yet effective marketing materials—offering daily visibility of your brand while providing real-world utility. Unlike generic calendars, branded planners ensure your logo stays top-of-mind throughout the year.
- Personal Time Management & Goal Tracking: For entrepreneurs, freelancers, and busy professionals, a custom desk planner offers a dedicated space for weekly reviews, habit tracking, goal setting, and creative brainstorming. The larger format allows for more detailed layouts, making it easier to visualise progress and plan strategically without feeling constrained by rigid templates.
- Event Planning & Project Management: Agencies, event planners, and project managers love using custom desk calendars to map out milestones, assign tasks, and monitor progress. With a large surface area and durable binding, these planners make it easy to colour-code projects, highlight key dates, and add handwritten notes directly onto the page.
Pro Tip: Include your website URL, social media handles, or QR code inside the front cover for subtle but effective brand exposure.
Choosing the Right Size for Your Custom Desk Planner
The size of your desk planner plays a crucial role in its usability and effectiveness. We offer two landscape formats designed to meet different professional needs:
- A4 Landscape (210 × 297 mm ± 2 mm): This mid-sized format strikes a perfect balance between detail and desk space efficiency. Ideal for solo professionals, small teams, or compact workstations, A4 planners provide ample room for weekly spreads, monthly calendars, and note sections without taking up too much table space. It’s a popular choice for personal planners, executive assistants, and boutique businesses looking for a manageable yet impactful format.
- A3 Landscape (297 × 420 mm ± 2 mm): Larger and more expansive, A3 planners are perfect for collaborative environments, project managers, and those who prefer dual-page spreads or visual planning. This size allows for intricate layouts, colour-coded sections, and plenty of white space for annotations and brainstorming. Often used in open-plan offices, co-working spaces, and agencies, A3 planners support dynamic, flexible planning across multiple users or departments.
Did You Know? A3-sized planners are increasingly popular among remote teams who need a shared visual roadmap that everyone can reference easily during stand-ups or sprint planning sessions.
Binding Options – Wire Bound vs. Glued Binding
Your desk planner’s binding affects how it opens, lays flat, and withstands daily use. We offer two options to suit different needs:
- Wire Binding (Default): Our standard option, wire binding ensures pages turn smoothly and lay completely flat when opened. This makes it ideal for frequent writing, flipping back and forth, or left-handed users. The durable twin-loop metal spine adds a polished, professional finish and supports long-term use without pages coming loose.
- Glued Binding (Optional): Available upon request, glued binding involves securing pages along the top edge with strong adhesive. This method creates a clean, minimal look and is best suited for planners intended for light use or decorative display rather than heavy daily interaction. This is the only time where we’ll request a minimum order requirement. It is a challenge gluing a single 13-sheet deskpad.
Pro Tip: If your planner will be used for daily note-taking or shared among multiple people, wire binding is the better choice for functionality and longevity.
Notebook Paper Quality – Regular or Thicker Writing Experience?
The paper inside your notebook affects everything from handwriting comfort to ink performance. We offer two high-quality options to suit different writing styles and purposes:
- RegularPaper (80gsm): Perfect for everyday note-taking, sketching, and light journaling. This lightweight option provides a smooth writing experience suitable for pens, pencils, and highlighters. It’s ideal for general office use, student notebooks, or budget-conscious bulk orders. We use Double A premium paper (the international gold standard of copy paper).
- Thicker Paper (120gsm): Thicker and more robust, 120gsm paper offers a luxurious feel and improved resistance to ink bleed-through. This makes it ideal for fountain pen users, artists, or anyone who values a more tactile writing experience. It’s also recommended for notebooks intended for gifting or high-end resale markets. We use premium local mill fresh paper.
Did You Know? Higher GSM paper not only feels better—it also reduces ghosting and feathering, making your content appear cleaner and more professional.
