Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ordering this product

The minimum order for the Hard Cover Sugarcane Paper A5 Notebook is 20 units. At the 50-piece tier, the price is €11.76 per unit with customization included. Available in 4 colors: Green, Blue, Black, White. Production takes 8 business days. EU shipping is quoted separately. At €11.76@50, the Sugarcane Notebook is the second-lowest-priced notebook in the SoMerch range (above the Softcover A5 at €10.31) while offering a hardcover, 160 pages, a ribbon marker, and an expandable back pocket — significantly more features per unit. The FSC® Mix certification and sugarcane-waste paper are documented sustainable credentials.

Yes — the A5 format and hardcover construction make it a standard onboarding kit staple. It co-packs easily alongside a pen and other items. Production takes 8 business days and SoMerch ships individually to any EU address in 2-6 business days. The hardcover protects other items in the kit box and gives the notebook structural rigidity during transit. The ribbon marker, expandable back pocket, and 160 pages make the Sugarcane Notebook a practical daily-use item that recipients will keep on their desk. The light brown, fiber-visible pages are a visible signal of the sugarcane material — a talking point in the kit. Warehoused and fulfilled on demand after the initial production run.

Sugarcane paper is made from bagasse — the fibrous residue left after sugarcane stalks are pressed for juice. Bagasse is a by-product of sugar production that would otherwise be burned or discarded. Using it as a paper feedstock diverts agricultural waste from incineration and reduces reliance on wood pulp. The light brown color and visible natural fibers in the pages are characteristic of bagasse paper — they are visual evidence of the material origin, not a quality defect. Sugarcane plants absorb CO2 during growth and the roots remain in the soil after harvest, avoiding the full deforestation cycle associated with tree-based paper. FSC® Mix certification covers the paper supply chain.

The Hard Cover Sugarcane Paper Notebook carries FSC® Mix certification, confirming that the paper is sourced from a mix of FSC®-certified forests and controlled sources, or recycled materials. FSC® Mix is the standard pathway for paper made from combined sources, and it provides independent third-party verification of responsible sourcing. FSC® Mix certification is a recognized standard in corporate sustainable procurement. For programs requiring documented paper sourcing credentials, the FSC® Mix certificate provides the necessary audit trail. The sugarcane-waste origin of the paper provides an additional sustainability narrative beyond the standard FSC® claim.

The Hard Cover Sugarcane Notebook is customized by silkscreen printing in a single color, with a print area of up to 90×160 mm on the hardcover — the largest print area of any notebook in the SoMerch stationery range. The full A5 cover face is almost entirely available for the print, allowing a large logo, full graphic, or text-heavy design. The 90×160 mm area is effectively a full-cover print zone. Single-color silkscreen means the artwork must be in one ink color, but the scale available means bold, impactful cover designs are possible. The hardcover surface prints cleanly. For multi-color cover designs, discuss alternatives with the SoMerch team. A same-day mockup confirms scale and contrast.

The Sugarcane Notebook is the default notebook recommendation for most SoMerch onboarding programs — it offers FSC® Mix certification, a distinctive material story (sugarcane waste), the largest print area in the notebook range, a hardcover, ribbon marker, back pocket, and 160 pages, all at €11.76@50. It consistently delivers more per unit than the Softcover at a minimal price premium. Step down to the Softcover A5 (€10.31@50, FSC®, 92 pages) only when budget is the sole constraint. Step up to the GrowNote (€21.27@50, plantable cover) when the interactive sustainability story is part of the program brief. The Sugarcane Notebook is the practical mid-tier choice that combines sustainability credentials with everyday functionality for most corporate onboarding programs.
