Question 1

Where can I get custom notebooks printed with my logo?

Accepted Answer

GetMerch prints Custom Notebooks with your logo, photo, or full cover artwork applied edge-to-edge, not just a small corner imprint. Send your files through our contact form and our team handles layout, sizing, and binding selection for you. Custom Notebooks from GetMerch work for single-batch orders or ongoing swag programs, with no design software needed on your end.

Question 2

What paper and binding options are available for custom notebooks?

Accepted Answer

Custom Notebooks from GetMerch are available with spiral (wire-o), perfect-bound, or saddle-stitched binding, depending on how the notebook will be used. Interior pages run on uncoated stock for smooth writing, while covers use a heavier coated stock that holds print detail and color better than the interior pages.

Question 3

What sizes and page counts do custom notebooks come in?

Accepted Answer

Custom Notebooks come in common formats like A5 and B5, plus pocket-size notepads, with multiple page-count options in either lined, dot-grid, graph, or blank interiors. GetMerch can match the size and page count to how the notebook will actually be used, from a pocket journal to a full desk notebook.

Question 4

Can I put my company logo or full-cover artwork on a notebook?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Custom Notebooks from GetMerch print your logo, photo, or full cover artwork across the entire front and back cover, not just a small printed square. GetMerch reviews every logo file before printing to confirm resolution and placement, so text and graphics near the edges of the cover don't get distorted or cropped.

Question 5

Do you offer bulk ordering for custom notebooks?

Accepted Answer

GetMerch supports bulk ordering of Custom Notebooks for businesses, schools, and event teams that need a matching batch for onboarding kits, conferences, or giveaways. Request a bulk quote through the contact form with your quantity and cover design, and GetMerch will confirm binding, paper, and page count details before your order goes to print.

Question 6

How are custom notebooks printed and bound?

Accepted Answer

Custom Notebooks are produced by printing your cover artwork in full color and then binding the finished pages using spiral, perfect-bound, or saddle-stitch methods. GetMerch prints covers edge-to-edge so artwork reaches the trim line without a visible white border, then binds interior pages to the paper weight and page count you select.

Question 7

How long does it take to get custom notebooks made?

Accepted Answer

Production time for Custom Notebooks depends on order quantity, binding type, and how quickly your logo file is approved for print. GetMerch reviews your artwork first and confirms details with you before your order enters production, so the clearest way to get a timeline for your specific order is to request a quote through the contact form.

Question 8

I'm ordering 200 notebooks as conference swag, what's the best binding for durability?

Accepted Answer

For a 200-unit conference order, spiral (wire-o) binding on Custom Notebooks tends to hold up best because the wire coil lets the notebook lie flat and resists cracking at the spine during heavy handling at a booth. Perfect-bound notebooks look more polished but can be less forgiving if attendees fold pages back hard while writing.

Question 9

Is spiral or perfect-bound better for a branded notebook?

Accepted Answer

Spiral-bound Custom Notebooks lie flat and are more durable for notebooks that get carried around and written in often, while perfect-bound notebooks give a cleaner, more retail-style look for a notebook meant to sit on a shelf or desk. GetMerch can help match the binding to whether your notebook is a giveaway or a sold product.

Question 10

What file format do I need for my logo on the cover?

Accepted Answer

GetMerch accepts vector files like AI, EPS, or a high-resolution PDF for Custom Notebooks cover art, since vector artwork scales cleanly to any notebook size without going blurry. A high-resolution PNG or JPG at 300 DPI or higher at full print size also works if a vector file isn't available for your logo or photo.

Question 11

How do I make sure my cover art doesn't get cut off?

Accepted Answer

Keep important logo elements and text at least a quarter-inch inside the trim edge when submitting artwork for Custom Notebooks, since anything placed too close to the border can get trimmed during binding. GetMerch reviews every file before printing and will flag placement issues so your cover design doesn't get cropped unexpectedly.

Question 12

What's the difference between custom notebooks and just adding a sticker to a plain one?

Accepted Answer

Custom Notebooks from GetMerch print your artwork directly onto the cover stock in full color, which holds up to handling far better than a sticker that can peel, scratch, or fade over time. A printed cover also lets your design cover the entire front and back rather than being limited to a small sticker shape.

Question 13

Can I use a photo instead of a logo on the cover?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Custom Notebooks can be printed with a photo, pattern, or illustration instead of a logo — GetMerch prints whatever full-color artwork you send, whether that's a company photo, event graphic, or personal design. This makes Custom Notebooks a good option for photo gifts as well as branded corporate swag.

Question 14

What's the best notebook size for a corporate gift box?

Accepted Answer

A pocket-size Custom Notebook fits neatly into most corporate gift boxes alongside other small items like pens or a tumbler, while a full letter-size notebook works better as a standalone desk gift. GetMerch can print either size with matching cover artwork for a consistent gift set.

Question 15

Do you offer both lined and blank interior pages?

Accepted Answer

Custom Notebooks from GetMerch are available with lined, dot-grid, graph, or blank interior pages across page-count options, so the notebook can work for note-taking, sketching, or journaling depending on who's receiving it. Let GetMerch know your preferred interior style when you request your quote.

Question 16

Can I order a small batch to test before committing to a bigger run?

Accepted Answer

GetMerch works with businesses ordering Custom Notebooks at a range of quantities, so a smaller test batch is something you can ask about when you request a quote. Testing a small run first lets you confirm cover color accuracy and binding quality before committing your full team or event order.

Question 17

How does ordering from GetMerch compare to a big-box promotional supplier?

Accepted Answer

GetMerch prints Custom Notebooks with full edge-to-edge cover artwork and a human review of your logo file before production, rather than routing your order through a generic online catalog with limited customization. That direct process is built to catch placement or color issues before your notebooks are printed, not after.

Question 18

What should I look for when ordering custom notebooks for the first time?

Accepted Answer

First-time buyers of Custom Notebooks should confirm binding type, page count, and cover material match how the notebook will actually be used — a giveaway notebook has different needs than a retail product. GetMerch also recommends requesting a look at your artwork placement before final printing to avoid surprises on a bulk order.
