Our stationery range has received more exciting upgrades this month, with further improvements to materials and brand new imagery on a large number of items.
Thicker Interior Pages: All books now feature 120gsm interior pages, previously 100gsm. Whilst the 100gsm was high in quality and lovely, thick paper, the 120gsm is even more luxurious.
Thicker Covers: All book covers are now made from even thicker material, too. This results in our paperbook books being sturdier than ever and a unique product in the softback & wirebound market.
More Pages: Increased from approximately 80 pages, all books in the To Do List, Daily Planner and Notebook range now include approximately 100 pages instead. More space, longer lasting and a thicker finish.
New Imagery: A large number of our stationery items have new & improved imagery, ready to download now on the product pages. Lighter and brighter photos, higher quality than ever and eye-catching representations of our products.
Retailers may reflect these changes in their listings at their earliest convenience.
We’re delighted to announce that our huge book overhaul project has been completed and all products are now live on our catalogue, ready for sale.

12 Month Diaries
Our diaries have received a huge update, with a brand new interior that covers 12 months with one week across two pages (week-to-view).
Our old diaries covered only one week per page with approximately 56 pages per book. The new diary features a whopping 115 pages on average and comes with a larger spine to accommodate.
The new books are printed on 100gsm paper, replacing our previous 80gsm stock, increasing the thickness and wire size.
Each book includes a resolutions page, birthday gift tracker, a page for notes, important contacts [x2] and January to December diary pages. These books are available in both 2024 and 2025 versions, so your customers can purchase the year ahead.
Our start-any-month option has been discontinued. We decided to do this as preparing custom month starts was a stretch on resources & we felt it was not environmentally or cost-friendly to hold stock that would be discarded as each month passed.
In addition to our new interiors and images, we have added 70 new diary designs to our catalogue.
Daily Planners
Our daily planners have been updated with brand new images ready for download in each product listing.
The planners now include a front page to match our diaries, notebooks and to do list books.
The new books are printed on 120gsm paper, replacing our previous 90gsm stock, increasing the thickness and wire size.
We have added 63 daily planner designs to our range.
Notebooks
Our notebooks have received a photo makeover, with new images to make them stand out!
The new books are printed on 120gsm paper, replacing our previous 90gsm stock, increasing the thickness and wire size.
Each download file now includes a blank and lined back-book version of the designs, with the option for blank notebooks now available across all notebooks instead of the limited amount that were offered previously. We’ve added front pages, too!
We have added 72 notebook designs to our range.
To Do List Books
Our final – but by no means least important – update in this project brings brand new imagery to our to do list books.
Each book has an updated download link available in their listings, ready for download.
The new books are printed on 120gsm paper, replacing our previous 90gsm stock, increasing the thickness and wire size.
We have added 63 to do list book designs to our range.
And that’s it for now! Happy listing and we hope you’ll adore this update as much as we do.
