Regarding planners, it’s easy to think of looking for a printing factory. However, general or digital printing factories can only handle simple paper printing. They often cannot handle post-processing or binding details, and usually, they can only handle perfect binding. Because other structures frequently require non-paper processing.
From the perspective of factories specializing in planner printing and production, Leatai’s custom planner service covers a comprehensive and complete range, including hardcover, paperback, loose-leaf, and spiral binding. The most significant difference lies in the choice, combination, and application of different materials in various structures. Only with the right combination can the ideal finished product be achieved. This aspect requires years of experience to perfect, and you can refer to relevant examples on the OEM page.
Planners’ binding methods and styles can generally divided into four categories: hardcover, paperback, loose-leaf, and spiral-bound. We can further expand these four categories can be further expanded to offer more variations.
In terms of size, the following are the more common mainstream sizes:
Common standard sizes are as follows: | Final Sizes (Bleed sizes not included): | ||||||
Hardcover/Softcover | Loose-leaf | ||||||
16K(B5) | = | 19 x 26 cm | 18.9 x 25.7 cm | 18.5 x 25.7 cm | |||
25K(A5) | = | 15 x 21 cm | 14.8 x 20.5 cm | 14.5 x 20.5 cm | |||
32K(B6) | = | 13 x 19 cm | 12.7 x 18.0 cm | 12.4 x 18.0 cm | |||
48K | = | 9.5 x 17.5 cm | 9.3 x 17.3 cm | 9.1 x 17.3 cm | |||
The inner pages’ standard dimensions may be slightly smaller due to binding and trimming. Please note that this does not apply to cover dimensions. | The bleed is 0.3cm on each side. |
Uncoated paper, or lightly coated paper, can be broadly classified into two categories: woodfree paper and bond paper, with explanations as follows:
Bond Paper: Due to its high proportion of long fibers, this type of paper is highly tough and has good fold resistance. It is commonly used for tickets, certificates, and other printed materials.
Woodfree Paper: Generally used for writing or book printing, this paper comes in blue-white, natural, or cream colors. Super white and high white bond papers have fewer long fibers and are classified as woodfree.
Lightly Coated Bond Paper: This type of paper, also known as smooth finish or supercalendered paper, is treated on the surface of the woodfree paper to improve its feel and color reproduction during printing.
Photocopy Paper: This paper belongs to the woodfree paper category. It has a low moisture content and is not suitable for offset printing. It is prone to misregistration and wrinkles during printing.
Recycled Paper: Made from recycled waste paper, recycled paper has the same quality as regular woodfree paper. It emphasizes environmental protection as its selling point.
1. Please select the style of your choice first or provide sample-related information so Leatai can determine the structure.
2. Please estimate the required quantity and size. (The minimum order quantity for customization is 500 pcs.)
3. If the above two steps are completed, Leatai will provide a quotation and discuss with the customer whether any specification details need to be adjusted. We will change due to different customizations.
4. If the transaction is completed, the stage of producing manuscripts or schematic diagrams will be carried out, and the information on the order will be used through text and images to reach a consensus with the customer as much as possible. At the same time, Leitai can also provide vector file layouts for customers to apply and assist. The client checks whether the manuscript settings are correct.
5. If the schematic diagram is correct and the proofing is confirmed, the production of bulk goods will begin. Only then will the delivery date be calculated. The communication time between the two parties in the early stage is not specific, depending on the details.
Since custom planners need to go through a customization process, and each process has basic procedures and thresholds, the production time is generally longer. The production time of 40 to 60 days is within the normal range, especially since the end of the year is the peak season. It is recommended if there is demand. , arrange and consult in advance to complete the ideal finished product within the expected time.
The customization process is often more complicated than imagined. Please join Leatai’s official WhatsApp; a dedicated person will provide a free consultation.
