The official launch of Leatai’s retail website.
Leatai, derived from the abbreviation of Leader, Taiwan, and Idea, is phonetically named “磊泰” in Chinese.
The inception of Leatai Journals marked a challenging beginning, brought to life by a group of young enthusiasts passionate about planners and journals. We aim to inject fresh creativity into the gradually fading traditional industry, revitalizing Taiwan’s once-proud sector.
While Leatai is a relatively new name, it possesses a resilient old soul rooted in the craftsmanship legacy since the early 1980s.
The primary founder of Leatai has been involved in the business of business journals since childhood. From initial subcontracting to taking direct orders, he navigated the trends of various decades, designing custom notebooks for clients through the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s. Hence, even in the industry’s busiest seasons, children were actively contributing, spending winter days helping at home—a productive period for the industry.
Over several decades, the scars from machine cuts on hands became valuable experiences. Witnessing the birth of each custom journal at home, a realization emerged: these notebooks have been our companions for so long, and while they must be practical and functional, why not infuse them with elements we enjoy?
Our sole focus is on quality and technology. Design is considered a fundamental element that sets us apart. When it comes to custom planners, you can confidently entrust them to Leatai.
The planner cover should be presented in the best possible condition using various colors and materials, and we have experimented with different options to find the “optimal” result. It is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. We pick up what other manufacturers are unwilling to do, and at Leatai, we approach it with an artisanal spirit, striving to perfect every detail throughout our entire effort.
Therefore, Leatai can deliver the “best” to you. Witness our embossing and various colors of foil stamping effects. Which one do you prefer?
