Custom stitched notebook FAQ
What is the difference between a stitched notebook and a saddle-stitched booklet?
A stitched notebook in this category is sewn with thread, while a saddle-stitched booklet is typically fastened with metal staples through the fold. Despite the similar names, they use different binding materials.
How does center-sewn binding compare with perfect binding and hardcover notebooks?
Center-sewn binding secures folded pages with thread. Perfect binding relies on adhesive along the spine. Hardcover describes a rigid cover construction, not a single book-block binding method. The right choice depends on page count, cover structure, and intended use. See our hardcover notebooks.
How many pages can a custom stitched notebook have?
About 160 pages is our starting recommendation, not a universal maximum. The feasible page count depends on paper thickness, finished size, and stitching capability. Include your target page count in your inquiry.
Can I choose a thread color to match my brand?
Yes. You can request a thread color that coordinates with your logo or cover. Send a color reference so availability and the final appearance can be reviewed during the project and, when arranged, on a sample.
Should I choose a kraft paper or PU cover?
Kraft paper gives a paper-based, natural appearance, while PU synthetic cover material offers a different surface texture and finish. PU is not genuine leather. We review suitable logo-finishing options for the chosen material.
Can the cover and pages have flush-trimmed edges?
Yes. Flush trimming is available, subject to the confirmed construction. Tell us your preferred trim style before finalizing the artwork so the bleed and trim dimensions can be reviewed.
