Sample before bulk production

Custom notebook samples
before bulk production.

Use a sample to review the notebook structure, paper, artwork and packing before bulk production. Tell us what you need to check so we can agree the sample scope, cost and approval steps. Bulk order MOQ starts from 100 pieces, subject to your specification.

Made in our own factory in Cangnan, China. Enquiries from buyers worldwide are welcome. Shipping is quoted separately for your destination.

Choose the sample scope

What does your notebook sample need to show?

Choose a reference

A case number helps explain the binding, cover appearance or interior you want to discuss. The photos are references; ask which physical sample is available and what it can demonstrate.

Prepare your own specification

For a sample based on your design, provide the finished size, binding, page count, paper requirements, cover artwork and interior layout. Note which details must match the planned bulk order.

Prepare your artwork →

Agree what to approve

Before sampling, confirm the sample scope, materials, fee and timing. Record any difference from the proposed bulk specification so approval is based on the right details.

From sample to first order

Bulk notebook orders start from 100 pieces.

The exact minimum depends on the structure, materials, printing and finishing in your specification. List any different colours or designs separately. See our low MOQ custom notebook guide for first-order planning.

Structure & materials

An existing material and a specially sourced finish may create different order conditions.

Printing & versions

Colour variations, cover artwork and multiple inside-page layouts affect the specification.

Presentation

Individual packing or a custom box must be considered alongside the notebook quantity.
