Frequently Asked Questions
What size is an A5 notebook?
A5 is 148mm × 210mm — half the size of an A4 sheet. It's the most commonly used size for corporate notebooks: large enough for comfortable note-taking, compact enough to fit in a bag or laptop sleeve.
What cover materials are available?
PU leather (most popular), hardcover, soft cover, and eco kraft. PU leather is the standard for corporate gifting — it looks premium, takes debossing and foil stamping well, and is durable for daily use.
What is the difference between debossing and embossing?
Debossing presses your logo into the cover (recessed/indented) — the most popular and subtle style for PU leather notebooks. Embossing raises your logo above the surface — a bolder, more tactile effect. Both are permanent and don't fade or peel.
Can I get full-colour printing on the cover?
Yes — hardcover and soft cover notebooks support full-colour, edge-to-edge printing. PU leather covers are best customised with debossing, embossing, foil stamping, or UV spot printing rather than full-colour coverage.
What page types are available?
Lined (ruled), dotted, blank, and grid. A combination of page types within one notebook is available for custom orders — contact us with your requirements.
What binding methods are available?
Perfect binding (book-like spine, most common), Wire-O (lay-flat; useful for heavy note-takers), spiral binding, and sewn/thread binding (most durable). Wire-O is recommended for notebooks where recipients will write on both sides of the opening.
What is the MOQ?
Contact us with your quantity, cover material, and customisation method for a quote. We accommodate both small runs and large corporate bulk orders.
How long does production take?
Typically 14–21 working days after artwork approval. Order at least 4–6 weeks before your event or gifting date to allow buffer for revisions and delivery.
Is GiftHub a GeBIZ-registered vendor?
Yes — GiftHub is a registered GeBIZ vendor and can issue e-invoices for government agencies, statutory boards, schools, and institutional procurement orders.
