Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ordering this product

The minimum order for the Softcover A5 Notebook is 20 units. At the 50-piece tier, the price is €10.31 per unit — the lowest price point in the SoMerch notebook range — with customization included. Available in 4 colors: Black, Blue, Brown, Grey. Production takes 8 business days. EU shipping is quoted separately. At €10.31@50, the Softcover A5 Notebook is the entry-level certified notebook in the SoMerch catalog. The FSC® certification on both cover and pages covers all paper sourcing. For programs where a clean, functional notebook at minimal cost is the priority, the Softcover is the practical default.

Yes — at €10.31@50 with 8-business-day production, the Softcover is the most cost-efficient notebook in the SoMerch range for high-volume programs. It co-packs flat and easily alongside a pen and other items. SoMerch warehouses stock and fulfills individually on demand after the initial production run across the EU. The flexible softcover is lighter than hardcover alternatives — a useful consideration for programs where shipping weight per kit matters at scale. Four color options (Black, Blue, Brown, Grey) suit most corporate brand palettes. For premium onboarding programs where a hardcover or distinctive material cover is preferred, step up to the Hard Cover Sugarcane (€11.76@50) or Oakridge Canvas.

The Softcover A5 Notebook has 92 pages (46 sheets) of lined cream FSC® paper. For most corporate onboarding and daily meeting note-taking, 92 pages covers several months of regular use. The smooth paper surface is noted as compatible with fountain pens — a quality indicator for recipients who use premium writing instruments. 92 pages is lighter than the 160-page Hard Cover Sugarcane or 200-page GrowNote, which is reflected in the lower price. For programs where a full-year notebook is preferred, the Hard Cover Sugarcane's 160 pages is a better fit. The rounded corners prevent fraying and the flexible cover lays relatively flat when open — both practical features for daily note-taking.

The Softcover A5 Notebook carries FSC® certification on both the cover and inner pages, confirming that all paper used comes from responsibly managed forests. FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) is the leading independent certification for paper and wood products, covering environmental, social, and economic standards in forest management. FSC® certification is the most commonly recognized paper sustainability standard in corporate procurement. For programs requiring documented proof of responsible paper sourcing for ESG supplier questionnaires or sustainability reporting, the Softcover's FSC® certification provides the necessary third-party audit trail.

The Softcover A5 Notebook is customized by silkscreen printing in a single color, with a print area of up to 8×4 cm on the cover. Silkscreen produces a clean, flat ink application on the softcover surface. The 8×4 cm area is compact — suitable for a logo or wordmark rather than a full-cover design. Single-color silkscreen is the only customization option — multi-color logos need to be simplified to a one-color version. The 8×4 cm area is smaller than the Hard Cover Sugarcane (90×160 mm) and the GrowNote (12×12 cm) — programs that need a large or detailed cover print should choose one of those alternatives. A same-day mockup confirms scale and contrast before production.

The Softcover A5 Notebook is the right choice when FSC® certification, a manageable price, and a clean neutral color palette are the primary criteria — standard onboarding kit notebook, event pack inclusion, or high-volume programs where cost control is important. It is the most cost-efficient certified stationery notebook in the SoMerch range. Less suited to programs where a premium cover aesthetic is required (compare with Hard Cover Sugarcane for FSC® + 160 pages + ribbon marker + back pocket at €11.76@50) or where a large print area is needed on the cover. At a €1.45 premium, the Hard Cover Sugarcane delivers significantly more features. Use the Softcover when simplicity and cost efficiency are the priorities.
