Dimensions, page and sheet counts, bindings and packing figures are reference-listing details. The 17 × 22 cm exercise book is not standard ISO A5. Some paper/count and composition-book minimum fields conflict and need clarification. Current MOQ, production timing and sample charges depend on the chosen notebook and artwork; listing references are not a binding offer.
What matters for this category
A better brief.
A clearer comparison.
Focus the sourcing conversation on the features, materials and production details that make a difference to your product range.
One specification from cover to page
A useful notebook quotation connects the cover, ruling, paper and binding. Set the numeric trim size, paper shade and weight, page or sheet count and construction together so samples and price comparisons refer to the same product.
Artwork and finish developed together
Cover printing, embossing, foil and other finish directions depend on the chosen substrate. Bring the logo, intended texture and reference colours into the proof stage, then check the actual cover and binding in a physical sample.
A planned multi-item programme
School books, journals, drawing books and supporting stationery can be considered within a combined buying plan. Confirm minimums per design, item mix, carton details and shipment terms so a broader range remains clearly specified.
Branding, configuration & packaging
Make the product
fit your programme.
Bring artwork, reference samples and a target cost. The available process, minimum quantity, sample charges and development scope are reviewed for the chosen option.
Paper, format & inner printing
Specify exact dimensions, paper weight and shade, ruling, margins, sections and page or sheet count. Plain, single-line, French ruling, grid and custom layouts are directions to match to the chosen book.
Cover material & finishing
Explore board, art paper, PP/PVC and PU covers with printing, foil, embossing, debossing, matte/gloss or selected UV/coating treatments. Agree substrate compatibility, tooling, artwork ownership and proof stages for the actual finish.
OEM/ODM and packing brief
Develop a concept with agreed design deliverables, revision scope and costs. Define book and package branding, barcode, shrink-pack counts, retail presentation and carton protection; confirm mixed-item and per-design minimums in the offer.
Quality & product evidence
Turn requirements
into checks.
Agree which product characteristics need testing and how the approved sample relates to the bulk order.
Paper & ruling approval
Compare writing behaviour on the intended paper, ruling accuracy, margins, opacity and trim. Confirm what counts as a page or sheet and set the acceptance limits; no universal ink-bleed or opacity guarantee is established.
Binding & cover review
Review opening behaviour, wire or stitch construction, page retention, cover alignment and finish. For PU, inspect texture, logo depth and handling; a synthetic cover must not be described as genuine leather.
Production & packing checks
Approve the artwork and physical sample before production, then agree checks for counts, print colour, cutting, binding, labels and carton protection. A QC function is described, but the order-specific inspection plan still needs agreement.
Test capability is a starting point for the inspection plan. Request the method, applicable model and results needed for your order.
Documents matched to the order
Ask for evidence
that fits the product.
Request current material, product and management-system records relevant to the actual notebook and destination market. Check the issuing body, scope, validity and applicable manufacturing entity before relying on a certificate.
State the sales market, intended users and required files in your first enquiry. Current validity and scope are checked for the selected supplier and product; a category description does not certify every item.
Share your document requirements ↗- Signed book specification
- Record trim dimensions, cover and inner materials, paper weight, page/sheet count, layout, binding and packing. Resolve the conflicting table fields before an artwork proof or purchase order becomes the production reference.
- Artwork & sample approvals
- Keep the print-ready artwork, layout proof, colour/finish sample and construction mock-up with the order. Agree artwork ownership, approval stages and permitted production tolerances for the final product.
- Material & system evidence
- Request current applicable material and test records, plus system certificates if required. For recycled or certified-paper claims, verify the exact component, proportion and valid supply-chain documentation rather than relying on a cover description.

Buyer questions
Before you send
your first enquiry.
Practical answers about this sourcing direction, customization and the reference options. Your agreed specification and written quotation determine the actual order.
Can I customise both the cover and inner pages?
OEM/ODM scope includes cover artwork, page layouts, format and packing. Select the actual cover material, ruling and binding, then agree design deliverables, proofs, tooling and minimums for that configuration.
Is the 17 × 22 cm exercise book A5?
The listing uses an A5 label alongside 17 × 22 cm, which is not standard ISO A5. Use explicit finished dimensions in the enquiry and approve the trim on the sample.
Do the counts mean pages or sheets?
Some listings mix these terms, particularly the composition book. State the required number of physical sheets and printed pages separately, then confirm the signed specification before comparing prices or placing an order.
Which bindings can I compare?
Staple, saddle-stitch, sewn-and-taped, spiral, twin-wire and hardcover directions are available for discussion. Product wording varies; confirm the exact construction, hole pattern and opening behaviour for the chosen notebook.
What sample stages and charges should I expect?
Published FAQ references describe white mock-ups at 2–3 working days and colour samples at 5–6 working days, with USD 100–200 for new-customer colour samples and a stated order-confirmation refund. Confirm eligibility, freight, artwork scope, charges and timing in your current quotation.
Is there one minimum quantity for every notebook?
No. Published references differ by book and include 1,000 or 5,000 pieces, while the composition listing has conflicting 10,000-piece and container minimums. Request a current minimum per construction, size and artwork version.
Can the journal use a leather-style cover?
PU synthetic-cover journals are a documented direction with embossing, printing and foil options. PU is not genuine leather. Confirm texture, colour, logo process, page layout and actual construction on a sample.
Are recycled content and ISO claims verified?
Current certificate copies and recycled-content evidence were not verified. Request documents covering the actual material, component, manufacturing entity and scope before making environmental or management-system claims.
Who handles my enquiry?
Factory Sourcing Hub handles this enquiry as an independent sourcing and trading service. The product route, supplier suitability, sample scope and order responsibilities are agreed for the actual project.
How do I get a price and order minimum?
Send the product reference, quantities per variation, customization and packaging. Prices, minimums, sample charges and delivery dates are confirmed in a current quotation; the page is not a live inventory or price feed.
Can I discuss samples and inspection before ordering?
Yes. State whether you need a reference sample, a customized sample or development work. Agree the sample cost and shipping, approval specification, inspection plan and remedy for non-conforming goods before the bulk order.
What should I attach to my email?
Reference images, drawings, logo artwork and a product list are useful. Include quantities, the intended users and sales market, packaging, required documents and timing. After submitting the form, email attachments to kunhuow@gmail.com with your enquiry reference.
