Custom Softcover Notebooks and Flexible Journals
A flexible cover bends with the bag it travels in, weighs less than a board cover and usually costs less too. That makes softcover notebooks a practical pick for conference attendees, field staff and students.
The 37 styles here begin at $1.90 with a kraft pocket notebook and include kraft composition books, sugarcane and stone paper journals, the slim Mano meeting journal and Firenze and Revello journals. Moleskine supplies 11 styles, from Cahier and Volant journals to a 2027 weekly planner set, and Leuchtturm1917, Karst and Rite in the Rain round out the brands.
Paper and Cover Options
- Kraft covers: pocket and 5 by 7 inch spiral notebooks with pens, plus a kraft composition notebook.
- Alternative papers: sugarcane paper notebooks and stone paper journals that resist tearing and moisture.
- Leather-look and recycled leather: the Rochester journal and a large 6.75 by 9.5 inch soft cover journal.
- Weatherproof: a Rite in the Rain soft cover notebook for outdoor crews.
- Moleskine and Leuchtturm1917: Cahier, Volant, expanded and vegan notebooks, plus a blank softcover composition book.
Debossing works on 29 of these covers and screen printing on 27. Each style sets its own minimum, anywhere from 8 to 300 notebooks, and most are printed within 10 to 12 working days. Twenty-one are FSC certified and five are water resistant, useful for outdoor events, construction sites and agricultural field days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Softcover notebooks are lighter and more flexible, so they slip into a back pocket, a laptop sleeve or a conference tote without adding bulk. They also cost less to mail in a welcome kit. The trade-off is a less rigid writing surface, which matters little for meeting notes, field visits or classroom use.
The Kraft Pocket Spiral Notebook with Pen starts near $1.90, and the kraft composition notebook is about $1.98. Mid-range journals like the Firenze and Revello run roughly $7 to $9. Moleskine Volant and Cahier journals sit between about $10.88 and $12.88, and the top of the range reaches $51.88 for the Moleskine Precious and Ethical Vegan notebook.
Four recognized brands appear here:
- Moleskine, 11 options including the Volant, Cahier, Expanded notebook and a 2027 weekly planner with a GO pen
- Leuchtturm1917, with a blank softcover composition notebook
- Karst, known for stone paper planners
- Rite in the Rain, with a weatherproof pocket notebook
Stone paper is made mainly from mineral powder instead of wood pulp, giving a smooth page that resists water. This collection includes two Stone Paper Soft Cover Journals, one paired with a bamboo pen, and the Karst Pro Series planner notebook. Five notebooks in the group are listed as water resistant, which suits outdoor and travel use.
Debossing is available on 29 styles and presses the design into leather-look and textured covers for a quiet, upscale look with no ink. Screen printing, offered on 27, is the better route on kraft and paper covers or when you need a specific brand color. One style can also be laser engraved.
Orders can start as low as 8 pieces or as high as 300, so both a small client gift order and a large trade show run are possible. Expect 10 to 12 days in production and a setup charge of $40 to $75. The Moleskine 2027 planner makes a timely year-end gift if ordered in the fall.
