- Suitable Scenarios: Ideal for business settings, it presents a high-quality and professional look that is more formal in business environments, making it an excellent choice for corporate gifts or company events. It superbly enhances the corporate image.
- Examples: National Cheng Kung University Research and Development Foundation / Elsevier
PU Soft Leather Cover
- Features: The soft leather cover is more flexible and comfortable. The main difference from the PU hardshell cover is the thickness of the Cardboard used in the core.
- Durability: While it may be slightly less durable than hardcovers, it still offers a reasonable level of durability.
- Suitable Scenarios: PU soft leather is lighter than other materials, which helps create lightweight, portable notebooks. This makes them convenient for users and ideal for general daily note-taking and planner enthusiasts.
- Example: COLORR
Printed Hardshell and Soft Leather Covers
- Features: Capable of printing complex patterns and high-quality images.
- Durability: Hardshell covers offer relatively better durability. Soft leather is slightly more delicate but still maintains adequate durability.
- High Design Quality: This provides superior print quality that can accommodate more complex designs, patterns, and colors. Printed items can be laminated for primary stain and water resistance. Additional design effects, such as gold stamping, can be applied after lamination, enhancing the visual appeal of these notebooks.
- High Customizability: This can be customized in various ways, including company logos, slogans, and special printing effects.
- Suitable Scenarios: For general daily note-taking, student use, or designers seeking stylistic diversity.
- Example: BankPro
Fine Art Paper Hardshell and Soft Leather
- Features: Fine art paper that retains the tactile sensation of the paper’s fibers is utilized. The unique texture of this art paper enhances the presentation of brush strokes, textures, etc., elevating the artistic value and adding depth and dimension to the product.
- Durability: Fine art paper covers focus on tactile feel and do not undergo lamination to preserve the fiber feel. Consequently, these products are prone to soiling and damage. Even with hardshell support, fine art paper is relatively fragile, and without a cardboard backing, it becomes even more vulnerable.
- Examples:
Hardshell: Fonterra
Soft Leather: Warner Music
