Custom Notebook Pricing Guide Malaysia 2026
The custom notebook is the evergreen corporate gift — useful in every meeting, branded on the cover, and kept for months. From soft PU journals for conferences to premium hardcover sets for VIPs and eco kraft notebooks for green-minded brands, it suits almost any audience and budget. But cover material, binding and extras swing the price. Here’s what drives the cost of custom notebooks in Malaysia, with indicative ringgit bands by type and quantity.
Quick orientation. All figures below are typical, indicative per-piece ranges in Malaysian ringgit for logo-branded A5 notebooks delivered in the Klang Valley — not a quotation. Notebooks are most economical from around 100 pieces upward.
What sets the price
1. Cover. Spiral and kraft are cheapest; soft PU is the mid-range standard; hardcover and leather are premium.
2. Size & pages. A6 is small and cheap; A5 is the standard; B5 and thicker page counts cost more.
3. Extras & branding. An elastic band, pen loop, ribbon and foil or deboss branding all add cost.

How quantity bends the price

| 300 | ~RM6 – RM14 |
| 500 | ~RM5 – RM11 |

Deboss and foil have a one-off block setup; bulk orders spread it thin and lower the unit cost.
