Who orders notebooks in the UAE and Qatar

Oil, gas & energy

Energy companies order A5 notebooks for conference delegates and field-friendly A6 notebooks for site teams.

Custom Notebooks & Diaries buying guide

The notebook is still the most used corporate gift

Meetings, site visits and conferences still run on paper, which is why a good notebook stays on a desk for months. A5 (148 x 210 mm) is the standard business size: big enough for meeting notes, small enough for a bag. A6 (105 x 148 mm) is a pocket size that suits field teams and giveaways.

Choosing the cover and paper

PU leather hardcovers are the corporate standard because they look premium, wipe clean and take debossing beautifully. Fabric and linen covers feel softer and more design-led. Kraft and recycled-card covers suit sustainability messaging and large delegate runs. Inside, paper weight around 70 to 100 gsm stops ink showing through, and lined, dotted or plain pages can be chosen to suit the user.

  • Elastic closure keeps loose papers inside.
  • Pen loop means the matching pen is never lost.
  • Ribbon marker and back pocket are expected on premium notebooks.
  • Custom printed first pages can carry your values, calendar or contacts.

Debossing, foil or full colour

Debossing presses the logo into the cover so it sits below the surface, a clean ink-free finish that never rubs off. It can be blind (no colour) or filled with gold, silver or coloured foil. It starts from 50 pieces and takes 8 to 14 working days after the die is approved.

UV printing adds a full-colour logo or artwork to the cover from 25 pieces in 4 to 8 working days. Screen printing suits simple logos on kraft and card covers in larger runs from 100 pieces.

Diaries need ordering earlier than you think

Dated diaries are a year-end gift across the UAE and Qatar, and the whole region orders them at the same time. Order in October or early November so debossing, packing and delivery are finished before the last working weeks of December. Undated notebooks avoid the deadline entirely and can be gifted at any point in the year.
