Cover Materials & Finishes – Choose the Right Style for Your Notebook
The cover of your notebook is the first thing you see, and it sets the tone for how the notebook will feel. Our notebooks offer three premium cover options, each designed for different needs and aesthetics:
- Matte or Glossy Card Covers (450 gsm): This cover has an enhanced finish that’s both durable and water-resistant. If you’re looking for a more professional look, this is the way to go. The colour vibrancy and smooth texture are especially suited for those who want their notebooks to make a lasting impression.
-
Matte or Glossy Board Covers (750 and 1200 gsm): For those who want the ultimate in durability, the thick board cover is the way to go. This option is rigid, and perfect for gifts or corporate giveaways. It’s guaranteed to last, making it a great choice for high-quality, long-lasting notebooks.
The glossy finish give your notebook a higher-quality feel, with vibrant colours that make the personalised text stand out but it is not scratch resistant.
Notebook Customisation – Making It Truly Yours
Our personalised notebooks can be customised in a way that makes them as unique as you are. Here’s how:
-
Outer Cover Text: You can add any text you’d like to the outer cover of the notebook. Whether it’s your name, a favourite quote, or a company logo, the customisation option allows you to make the notebook truly yours.
-
Inner Cover Text: In addition to personalising the outer cover, you can also include a message on the inner cover of the notebook. This makes it even more special, particularly if you’re gifting it to someone. The inner text is permanent, adding a personalised touch that goes beyond the outer design.
- Custom Footer Text: Place a personalised message or note on the footer of your pages for daily inspiration as you use your notebook
This three-in-one customisation feature allows you to have a meaningful message on both the outside and inside of your notebook, making it a perfect gift or personal keepsake.
High-Quality Notebook Pages for a Smooth Writing Experience
Our personalised notebooks feature premium-quality paper that ensures a smooth writing experience. You have the option to choose from the following paper styles:
-
White Quality Paper (80 gsm Paper): Lightweight, ideal for everyday writing with ballpoint, gel, or fountain pens.
-
Pastel Mixed Colour Paper (80 gsm Paper ): Add a bit of flair with pastel-coloured pages. These are perfect for those who like their notebooks to have a unique, subtle pop of colour. This option has been discontinued to focus on professional-grade white paper.
- 120-140gsm white paper – Thicker, premium pages for smoother writing, less ink bleed, and a luxurious feel.
Fun Fact: Paper thickness is measured in GSM (grams per square meter). The higher the GSM, the more premium and ink-friendly your paper will feel.
Notebook Wire Binding & Closure for Durability
-
Wire Binding: Our notebooks are wire-bound, making them both durable and functional. The wire binding ensures that pages stay secure and allows you to easily flip through the notebook. You can choose from gold, black, white, or silver wire depending on stock availability.

Fun Fact: Wire binding is favoured by professionals and creatives because it’s durable, lies flat, practical, and easy to use for both right- and left-handed writers.
