Notebooks may seem simple, but as promotional merchandise they speak volumes about your brand, your values, and the story you want to tell. Whether it’s a handy passport-sized companion or a classic A5 staple, the choice between small and medium holds more significance than you might think.
Think about it – around the conference table, at a bustling café, or during a quick lunch meeting, a notebook with your logo is an ambassador for your brand. Is it sleek and professional, radiating innovation? Or maybe it’s bold and creative, signalling a daring, forward-thinking company. Whatever the vibe, the right notebook doesn’t just carry notes – it carries your identity.
That’s why the ‘mishmash × prodir’ notebook collection is designed not just as a creative tool for the person you gift it to, but to communicate your brand with every thoughtful detail. Here’s a guide to choosing the perfect notebook for your business, keeping both form and function in mind.
Size matters: The case for a passport-sized notebook
Got ideas on-the-go? The MM01 is the ultimate companion. At a compact 90 x 140 mm, it slips neatly into handbags, suitcases, or even jacket pockets, making it ideal for on-the-move professionals. It’s the notebook for brands that value agility, creativity, and the spontaneity of capturing ideas wherever inspiration strikes.
Hand out your branded passport-sized MM01 notebook at events or as part of welcome kits, and you’re telling your clients, prospects and partners that you value quick thinking and fresh ideas.
Size matters: When to opt for an A5 notebook
For businesses that thrive on detailed planning and structured thinking, the MM02 Medium A5 notebook is your match. Its 148.5 x 210 mm size is perfect for desk work – whether you’re jotting notes in a client presentation or brainstorming the next big idea. With 160 dotted pages, it encourages precision while leaving room for creativity.
The MM02 communicates intentionality and methodicalness, but also the ability to think big. It’s an ideal choice for brands that want to inspire careful thought and professional refinement.
Blank or dotted paper?
Blank pages on the MM01 invite free-flowing ideas – perfect for brainstorming and sketching. Meanwhile, the MM02’s dotted pages offer subtle guidance for structured notetaking without the rigidity of ruled lines. Whether your brand ethos leans creative or analytical, the choice speaks for itself.
Sustainability that speaks
With the ‘mishmash × prodir’ collection, there is no choice when it comes to sustainability. Literally: both the MM01 and MM02 are made in Portugal with FSC®-certified, acid-free, and chlorine-free paper. Not only does this help showcase your brand’s commitment to responsible sourcing, but it also aligns you with values that resonate globally.
Your notebook, your brand ambassador
When paired with a Prodir writing instrument, these notebooks become more than gifts – they’re tools for storytelling. Enhanced with Cloud Services, they can integrate QR codes that link the physical and digital world, making your notebook even more shareable and impactful.
Ultimately, choosing between A5 and passport boils down to your brand’s personality. Bold and spontaneous? Go small with the MM01. Detailed and strategic? Opt for the MM02. Either way, you’re gifting more than a notebook – you’re giving a piece of your brand’s story.
