Notebooks & registers
Ruling drawn as artwork, held to ±0.3 mm.
Ruling looks like the simplest thing in print and is the easiest to get wrong. We draw it as artwork at final size and hold it to ±0.3 mm, because a rule that drifts across a signature is visible on every page and cannot be fixed after binding.
What is included
What the work actually covers.
Ruling as artwork
Drawn at final size and held to ±0.3 mm, not scaled up from a template and hoped for.
School notebooks
Single-line, four-line, square and blank interiors, with the margins your school specifies.
Institutional registers
Attendance, stock, issue and record registers ruled to your existing columns.
Covers
Printed covers carrying the school or institution's identity, laminated to the binding you choose.
Binding
Stitched, perfect-bound or hard-case, specified to the use the book will actually get.
Press-ready output
Files prepared for imposition, with bleed and trim marks correct for the finished size.
How it runs
Six steps from brief to press.
Brief and estimate
We read the manuscript before we price it. Extent and scope decide the figure — never a rate card.
Grid and specimen
Trim, margins, type sizes and leading — approved as a real sample page, not as a description.
Cover directions
Two or three routes, each carried to a finished jacket — spine and back cover included, so the choice is real.
Typesetting
Full pagination with front and back matter in place — imprint, contents, appendices, index, colophon.
Proofs and revise
Marked proofs, corrections entered one by one, and the log closed by a second reader.
Press handover
PDF/X with 3 mm bleed, 300 dpi images, CMYK throughout — imposition-ready, not merely finished-looking.
Questions
The things clients ask first.
Why does ±0.3 mm matter on a notebook?
Because ruling repeats. A rule that sits a millimetre out drifts visibly down the page and across a signature, and once the book is bound there is no correcting it.
Can you match an existing register we already use?
Yes. Send a sample copy and the columns, widths and margins are drawn to match it.
Do you print school-branded covers?
Yes — covers carrying the school's identity, in the binding and lamination you specify.
Is there a minimum quantity?
It depends on the binding and the ruling. Tell us the specification and quantity in your enquiry and we will confirm.
