Good questions.

The practical details behind a custom notebook or gift set project.
Orders & minimums
What is the minimum order?
Custom notebooks start at 100 notebooks per design. Notebook gift sets start at 100 sets per design.
Can different designs be mixed to reach 100?
The minimum applies to each design. List quantities separately when covers, interiors or set configurations differ.
Can I use an existing SHUHAI layout?
Yes. Choose a starting layout, then explain the cover, fields, references or page sequence you would like to change.
How is pricing calculated?
The quote reflects quantity, size, paper, cover, printing, binding, finishing, packaging and delivery scope. Share a target budget and destination for a relevant quotation.
Design & materials
Can the cover and inner pages both be customised?
Yes. Cover artwork, logo placement, page fields, reference sections and page order can be developed together.
What logo file should I send?
Send the approved vector artwork if available, plus a visual preview and your brand colour references. We confirm production file requirements for the selected construction.
How do foil, debossing and embossing differ?
Foil adds a reflective or coloured film. Blind debossing presses a design below the surface. Embossing raises it above the surface. Material suitability and tooling are reviewed for the project.
Can I specify acid-free or FSC-certified paper?
State the paper requirement in your brief. The selected paper and any product-specific certification claim and documentation are confirmed for the order.
Samples & approval
Are samples available?
Sampling is planned around the project. The method, charges, delivery and what the sample will demonstrate are confirmed in the quote.
Is the artwork proof the same as a physical sample?
They answer different questions. Artwork proofs help check content and position. Physical samples help assess the agreed material, construction, finish and handling.
What should I approve before production?
Keep the final artwork version, specification, agreed sample approval and packaging details together. Confirm the quantity and delivery terms before bulk production.
Can specifications change after approval?
Discuss changes with your project contact. A new material, artwork version or construction may affect sampling, cost and the delivery plan.
Gift sets & delivery
Can gift boxes and accessories be customised?
Gift set projects can include notebook branding, packaging artwork, message cards and coordinated accessories. The final contents and specifications are agreed in the quote.
What is the current delivery planning guide?
Plan around 1–2 months including transport. The confirmed schedule depends on the specification, approvals, destination and shipping route.
Can you arrange international shipping?
Share the destination and required arrival date. Shipping method, carton details, charges, customs responsibilities and delivery terms are confirmed for the project.
How do I start?
Send the use, quantity per design, logo or references, destination and required arrival date through the quote form or contact us by email or WhatsApp.
