Service

brandbook doesn’t have hotlines, no “… then please press 1”. Each client has their personal contact person – from the first idea to the complete personalised notebook.

Producing books is our passion – it connects us with each other and makes us a good functioning team. Challenge us with your ideas and concepts: the wilder, the more exciting. And if we are at our wit’s end with our book printing ideas, you can be assured that we will continue searching until we have found the right solution. If one of us isn’t available at the office in Frankfurt for the moment, then it is because we’re visiting a trade fair to find new materials or new print-, finishing-, or binding methods to constantly extend our product portfolio.
 
Our advisory team consists of colleagues of all subject areas and all directions: graphic designers, book binders, printing engineers, book scientists and art historians. We are all united by our love for the book as an object.

If you want to get an overview on the wide range of different papers, cover materials, print processing, types of binding and accessories, you can now get comprehensive information in our showroom in Frankfurt. 

Test the surface-feel of Japanese design papers or learn about the printability of different recycling papers. Discover innovative materials and the whole range of processing and printing methods, from silk-screen printing, offset printing, digital printing to letterpress. There will certainly be one or two new ideas for your own personalised notebook production. Since we research permanently to trace the latest trends, materials and techniques, you will always find something new at our showroom.

Our nuuna flagship store is located in Brueckenstrasse 66, Frankfurt am Main, Germany – right next to the brandbook office. Shop hours are Thursdays to Saturdays, 11 – 19 o’clock, as well as on request.

Yearly, a few hundred sample packages leave our office in Frankfurt. Because books, cover materials and paper have to be experienced in a haptic way.

According to your ideas and customised to your request, we compile an individual selection of cover materials, books and processing examples. If you wish, these samples already exactly match your company colours.

A parcel with samples – just in time for your business meeting​

If you don’t have clear ideas yet, tell us a little bit about your project. We will put together a package that will surely inspire you. And of course it will arrive just on time for your client presentation or team meeting. 

Scouting new trends of book design and production is a challenge, which we face daily and which makes us happy. 

Our task is to make the perfect notebook or image book for your company, to research the most appropriate material for it and to give you a recommendation. To choose the most suitable cover material for your individual paper journal production, you either need to check our database of materials, or select one in the book configurator, or speak to one of the brandbook consultants. We’re happy to help. 

After thousands of book productions, we still feel enthusiastic when hot-off-the-press copies come in from production on a daily basis. Then the bookbinding gets stroked, debossings are held against the light, then the pages are turned and bent. Hands stretch the elastic strips to their limits, eyes disappear behind linen testers to check the printing results. Noses sense this wonderful scent mixture of paper, print colour and adhesive, and fingers test the soft haptic of the paper.
 

brandbook service not only includes a calculation of your individual book production at lightning speed, but also drafting a visualisation or layout.

This facilitates the coordination process and assures you that the book will look just the way you imagined it. Before we start the production of your individual notebook, you’ll receive a visualisation and a dimensioning of your book for verification and approval, so nothing will go wrong. This is featured in brandbook’s free services.

 

Design Templates are helpful for you and enable a simple production of the printing data. Matching your individual request, we compile the necessary InDesign template and dimensions and support you with all the relevant information about the production of printing data.

For all your questions about printing data, final artwork, positioning of the logo or PDF X4 export, you can contact us by phone, e-mail or chat. At brandbook, qualified graphic designers and media designers to clarify and resolve any problems, so that you can look forward to quickly receiving your book. 
 

Your own Stationery Collection on the Market​

We all have our favourite brands, brands that we trust, brands that represent certain values or lifestyles. We have gotten used to the fact that these brands distribute articles that they don’t produce themselves, yet still have to meet the quality requirements and values of the brands. As a manufacturer of stationery products, we offer companies a comprehensive service for the development of their own notebook, calendar and stationery collection. We offer support for the concept, material and selection of accessories, we produce dummies and take over the complete production all the way to packaging. All the products will be produced by us in Germany according to the highest quality standards. Furthermore, you profit from our experience in the stationery product trade.
 
Among our references are newspaper and magazine publishers, museums, diverse luxury brands, stationery manufacturers and fashion and design businesses. Current on-going stationery productions: Monocle, Swatch, MoMa.

 

Stationery and Book Production
for Top Quality Department and Stationery Stores

Private Label is the English term for the well-known German word for trademarks – specifically produced products for retailers that are labelled with their own brand names. Trademarks are on the rise internationally. No wonder, after all the retail trade is close to the customer and can react directly to the demands of the market. As a premium private-label producer for stationery products, we support retailers with the development and production of their own collection: from the sampling of cover materials and papers, to format and design suggestions, all the way to production – always 100% made in Germany.

Merchandising for Museums
Notebooks in Museum Shops  

For us, merchandising for museums means connecting emotions, experiences and memories with individualised stationery products. The MoMA museum in New York was the first to market their own products, mostly with motifs relating to the collection, in order to subsidise the museum’s activities with the revenue. We consider ourselves as partners for the development, production and even the marketing of your own stationery collection. 

Previous projects: MoMA SF, Fondation Beyerle, VanGogh Museum Edition, MAK Frankfurt am Main ‟Stefan Sagmeister – The Happy Show”
