Sublimation PU Notebook — A5 Tan Custom Personalised Journal

This sublimation PU notebook is an A5 tan-covered journal designed for custom personalisation using a standard flat heat press. Simply press your sublimation design directly onto the tan PU cover at 200°C for 40 seconds to transfer your artwork onto the surface. Because the base colour is tan, the sublimation result produces a rich, warm-tinted finish — the tan tone blends with your design to create a deep, leather-look aesthetic that suits earthy, vintage, executive, and artisan design styles particularly well. Furthermore, the A5 format is the most widely used notebook size for professional note-taking, planning, and journalling — ensuring this personalised product sees consistent daily use at the desk and on the go. Browse our full product catalogue to explore our complete personalised stationery range.

• A5 tan PU cover — sublimation produces rich warm-tinted result
• Full-cover sublimation personalisation — no insert required
• Press settings: 200°C / 40 seconds on flat heat press
• Best suited to earthy, vintage, executive, and leather-look design styles
• Sold individually

Note: The tan base colour blends with sublimation ink to produce a warm-tinted result rather than pure colour vibrancy — designs with earthy, dark, or warm tones perform best on this surface.

Why Tan Makes the A5 Notebook the Premium Corporate Stationery Choice

Tan PU notebooks occupy the premium tier of the personalised corporate stationery market because the leather-look finish projects professionalism, craftsmanship, and executive taste — qualities that plain white or brightly coloured notebooks simply cannot convey in a boardroom or client-facing context. Furthermore, tan is the dominant accent colour in high-end corporate gift catalogues and luxury stationery ranges globally, meaning buyers in this segment actively seek it out as a signal of quality rather than settling for neutral alternatives. Because tan works equally well for gender-neutral corporate gifting, artisan boutique retail, and masculine personalised stationery, it attracts a broader combined professional demographic than either the salmon or white notebook variants. Therefore, this notebook is the strongest choice for businesses targeting corporate clients, executive gift buyers, and premium branded stationery markets.

• Leather-look tan PU projects professionalism in corporate and client contexts
