A branded journal sits on someone's desk for months. It goes to meetings, on flights, and into daily routines. Unlike a t-shirt that might stay in a drawer or a mug that stays in the kitchen, a journal is carried around and used in front of other people — which makes it one of the highest-visibility branded items you can give.
Two Customization Methods
Custom journals can be personalized with either laser engraving or full-color UV printing, and the two methods produce very different results.
Laser engraving removes a thin layer of the leatherette cover to reveal the material beneath. The result is a subtle, tactile mark that looks and feels premium. Engraving works best for single-color logos, monograms, company names, and minimalist designs. It is permanent and will never fade or peel.
UV printing applies full-color ink directly to the cover surface, producing vivid, photo-quality artwork. This method is ideal for multi-color logos, photographs, illustrations, or any design with gradients and detail. The print is cured with UV light for durability.
| Feature | Laser Engraving | UV Printing |
|---|---|---|
| Colors | Single color (exposed material) | Unlimited, full spectrum |
| Feel | Tactile, etched into the cover | Smooth, flush with surface |
| Best for | Logos, monograms, text | Photos, gradients, complex art |
| Durability | Permanent — will never fade | UV-cured, long-lasting |
| Premium look | Understated elegance | Bold and vibrant |
Sizes and Page Options
Two sizes are available: standard (5¼ x 8¼ inches) and large (7 x 9¾ inches). Each journal contains 112 pages of 100-gram paper, thicker than standard notebook paper. Pages are available in lined or blank format.
Every journal has a hardcover leatherette binding and a black satin ribbon bookmark. Journals are case bound, so pages cannot be refilled.
Eleven Leatherette Colors
The leatherette cover is available in eleven colors: Black, Navy Blue, Dark Blue, Teal, Dark Green, Purple, Burgundy, Red, Brown, Gray, and Pink. Laser engraving looks particularly striking on darker covers where the contrast between the surface and the engraved area is strongest.
