Without the Late Deliveries, Wrong Prints, or Hidden Costs.
The custom spiral notebooks you order depend on what the book is for. A coil book lies flat while someone writes in it and hands over single sheets clean, so with your logo on the cover it gets used every working day. Our team can help you choose, and nothing is printed until you approve the proof, or start with the range below.
Ask us anything, we're happy to help!
A spiral notebook lies flat because the coil turns a full circle, so the book stays open at the page someone is writing on. Every sheet is punched and held on its own rather than glued into a spine, so a page comes out whole and the rest of the book stays as it was. A glued spine does neither.
On a site walk, the book sits in one hand and stays open where it was left. Books bound with wire lie open flat beside the drawings at a design review, instead of springing shut. A sheet torn off and handed across a desk stays whole, and a jotter that fits a badge bag comes home from a conference in one piece.
A working book gets picked up again and again, so your logo is in front of the room every time it opens, and the person carrying it does that for you. Branded stationery works like that, useful first and carrying your name every time it gets used. Coil books go out to training days and site teams, and to trade show tables and client giveaways.
Simply, plastic coil for the books that go out by the carton and get handed out at a table, and metal wire for the book that lives on a desk. A single continuous plastic spiral flexes and returns to shape after it has been squashed, so a carton of custom wire-bound notebooks still opens and closes square at the other end.
Metal twin-loop wire, also called wire-o, gives a squarer edge and a tighter page turn, so it looks more finished on a table. A crushed loop stays bent, so save this one for the books that get handed over a few at a time.
Neither one is an upgrade on the other. Either send them out in volume on a plastic coil, or put the metal wire on the desk copies where the finish is part of what people see. Either way we'll settle the details with you and brand it with your logo. Our team has a combined 30 years and more in promotional merchandise, so ask us which one fits.
Start with what the book has to do on the day, and the cover, the page count and the perforation follow from it. A printed card cover is printed flat as paper before it is bound, so full color artwork on personalized spiral notebooks costs no more than a single color. For a book that goes outdoors or gets wiped down, a poly cover holds up, and your logo goes on by screen print instead of paper printing. Kraft and uncoated board are the plain option. They hold one or two solid colors cleanly and mute photographic art.
Ask for perforated sheets when pages are meant to come out of the book, like the sheets people sign at a desk, or forms collected at the end. Without a perforation line at the punch edge, a torn sheet rips between the holes and leaves shredded tabs, so a perforated notebook is worth calling out on the order. Plain punched sheets are the right call when the pages should stay put as a record.
Page count follows how long the book has work to do, and page count is where most quotes move. Sheet size, cover stock, and coil material set the rest, and those are what make one quote differ from another.
For a single day handout, a lower page count with a better cover stock is often the right call, because the cover is the part the person handles. A book meant to look like an executive gift, with a stitched or pressed cover, is a different bound format, and those sit in notebooks and journals.
You see how your logo sits on the cover before anything is printed, at the right size and in full color. Nothing goes into production until you approve that proof. Send us whatever artwork you already have. Any standard file format works, and a vector file is easiest to work from, because that artwork stays sharp at any size. Ask our team for a product sample if you want one in your hands before you order.
If all you have is a sketch, or just what the book is for, a rough quantity and a date, that is enough for our team to make a start. A dedicated account manager is in touch within minutes. You choose the coil and the cover, and you approve or amend the proof. We handle the artwork setup, the printing, and the delivery, to any address in Texas and the rest of the United States.
Tell us what the book is for and how many you need, and we'll come back with the coil, the cover stock, the page count, and the perforation called out against a price. Or browse the range above and send your inquiry through, and a real member of our team picks it up right away. Every order is satisfaction guaranteed, and if what arrives does not match the proof you signed off, we fix it.
Training days and site walks are the ones we see most, along with the kits handed to new starters. Custom spiral bound notebooks hold up in working use, because the book stays open flat while notes are being written and single sheets come out clean.
Choose plastic coil when the books ship in cartons and get handed out, because the spiral springs back after it has been squashed. Choose the metal wire when the book lives on a desk and the finished look is part of what people see.
Yes. The coil opens a full turn, so the book rests flat on a table or in one hand, which is what makes it work for notes taken at training sessions and on site walks.
Yes, when the sheets are perforated at the coil edge. Ask for plain punched sheets instead when the notes are meant to stay in the book as a record.
Minimums start at one unit on some items and vary by product. The quantity shown on each product page is the one that applies, so you can order a small first run and see the book before you commit a bigger budget.
