Notebooks

Why Printed Notebooks are great for business

Notebooks are the perfect addition to corporate branding, a great custom birthday present or original stationery product for creative resellers. Add a touch of personality to a printed notebook ready for use at home, school or the office. Choose from plain, lined, dotted or squared inside pages in A6 (great for shopping lists), A5 (perfect for handbags & gym bags) or A4 size (ideal for school or work). Complete with a choice of paper types, your custom artwork on the front and the back, and up to 60 pages on the inside.

While the list of uses for Notebooks is endless, here are a few of our most popular uses:

Reselling
If you own a small business selling stationery and gifts, you might want to think about creating wire bound books to sell in your shop or online store. Wire bound notepads are sometimes more popular than regular stapled books, as they can open flat, and it’s easy to rip out pages if you make a mistake. A nicely designed book can quickly become someone’s favourite, where they will write until it’s full - think school children, university students, new employees, teachers and more. The inside pages could just be plain, lined, dotted or squared. Dotted pages have become particularly popular in recent years with the rise of bullet journalling, so why not think about designing your own bullet journal covers for your customers to write inside of and make their own!

Custom Journals
Why not create your own custom journals for yourself and your friends to use? Not everything has to be for profit, sometimes we can treat ourselves for no reason but that we want to! Have fun designing the cover with friends, or for a friend as a gift, and get a batch of notebooks printed for you to journal your time away. Journalling allows you to set and track goals, track habits, make records of dreams, and much more. Doodling, sketching, color-coded notes, mind maps, and other brainstorming activities can all be incorporated into your personalised journal.

Branded Corporate Notebooks
At Banana Print, we are all about branding and love an excuse to help you get your brand name out there! Every promotional product should make customers think positively about your brand. However, it's even more beneficial to hand out items that are useful. Designing a branded cover for a lined notebook is an ideal introduction to your business for visitors or new employees. Not only is the freebie a useful addition to their stationery, but also a nifty piece of advertising for your company whenever they get their notebook out to make notes - notebooks are still highly popular, despite the rise in use of digital equipment such as computers, laptops and tablets.

Study Notebooks
If you are a teacher, nursery assistant or even a parent, custom notepads for your students/children might be just the motivation they need to continue their learning! We know children love anything colourful and fun, so designing a playful cover for wire-bound notebooks to hand out to your class, complete with lined or even plain paper, can be a real pick-me-up for the kids to get their head down and fill their book. Whether they use their book to practice handwriting on lined paper, their times tables on grid paper, or just doodle to their heart's content on plain pages, you can be creative with the cover design and allow them to fill up the inside pages however they want.

Merch
If you are a member of a band or an artist on tour, you might be trying to come up with some easy-to-make merchandise to sell at your shows. Notepads are an original idea that your fans can easily pick up as an extra when buying your hoodies or tour tees! Design the cover with your band or artist name or logo, as well as tour dates - you could even print your tour poster onto the cover. Your fans will love to represent you or your band when they go back to school/work and show their merch off to their friends/colleagues!

Personal Trainers
If you’re a personal trainer with a lot of clients, it can be hard to keep track of each person’s progress. What better idea than to supply each of your clients with a branded notebook for them to keep records of their progress? Include your branding on the cover and the back, and any contact details for them to get in touch or pass your information on to friends or family. You could even include helpful tips and reminders for their workouts on the cover. They can use these books however they want to track their progress and make notes for the next session.

FAQs - Custom Printed Notebooks UK

Can I order custom printed notebooks with my own logo in the UK?

Yes. You can order fully personalised notebooks printed with your logo, artwork or branding directly on the cover. All notebooks are printed in-house in the UK, which means better quality control, faster turnaround times and no outsourcing delays.
