Notebooks are brand ambassadors.
* Writing by hand is thinking on paper. Thoughts grow into words, sentences and pictures. Memories become stories. Ideas are transformed into projects. Notes inspire insight. We write and understand, learn, see and think – with the hand.
Dear Partners, Sense and experience. Feel, touch, grip and grasp. “The hand is the window to the mind,” said German philosopher Immanuel Kant. We take things that interest us into our hands to help us understand. Our sense of touch is so sophisticated that we even describe things we have grasped with our hands in the dark in much greater detail than when we only see them. Every contact, each touch sparks a firework in the brain. When we grip, we grasp. Each time we take pen in hand and put it to paper, we spark a firework. Thoughts grow into words, sentences and pictures. Memories become stories. Ideas are transformed into projects. Notes inspire insight. No keyboard is able to replace the valuable thinking and processing mechanisms that occur when we put pen to paper. We write and understand, learn, see and think – with the hand. Writing by hand is thinking on paper. We allow our thoughts to run free. This empowers us to step back. The resulting distance helps us to objectively view plans and projects. By writing our thoughts down, we bring them to life. By putting our plans on paper, we increase the chances of actually putting them into practice. Make lists to hold control in your hand. Write down in order to let go. Draft a plan to analyse it. Take a rough thought and put it into words until an idea appears on the page! Writing things by hand is the method used by people who are intent on putting their ideas into practice. They’re your ideas, plans and projects. It’s in your hand.
We are looking forward to it.

Notebooks as brand ambassadors
Combine the individuality of your brand with the individuality of a LEUCHTTURM1917 notebook and refine it with a logo embossing. Whether a blind embossing or in colour - your brand will be a steady companion for your clients and employees. A notebook is a one of a kind ambassador for your brand. 4

A long lasting impression
A notebook that features your corporate logo on the cover or which contains a customised page layout, leaves a lasting impression. Notebooks accompany their owner to the next meeting, journey or to the cafe around the corner. They create a strong brand loyalty because they are always at hand. If the notebook is also embossed with the name of the intended recipient, this effect is enhanced. We are able to embellish our products starting with a minimum order of 50 pieces. Discover our product world and combine it with a host of embellished details – perfectly tailored to your needs. 6

Colours convey emotions A brand is more than just a name – it stands for values and convictions. There are many ways to design our LEUCHTTURM1917 notebooks to suit your brand. Choose from a wide range of colours and the perfect combination of elastic closure, bookmark and cover. For specific colours, please contact us.
Details make all the difference We have designed our notebook very carefully – down to the last detail. The pages are numbered and there is an empty table of contents that makes it easier for you to organise your notes. There are several perforated pages at the back of every notebook, just in case you want to share a note with someone else. All books come with a set of self‐adhesive labels to help you with archiving.

Personnalisation :
Embossage, Pen Loop et Drehgriffel avec gravure 16
Embossing Our notebooks and calendars can be enhanced by e.g. stamping with a single coloured foil – a way to depict a deeply contrasting logo or lettering. We have many vibrant colours available to enhance your book. Alternatively, a (colourless) blind embossed logo is possible – a process whereby neither ink nor foil is used. A three-dimensional effect is achieved by simply compressing the material.

A natural relationship Writing down your thoughts in a notebook is, in itself, a truly long-term affair – especially if the notebook is made by our company.
Family businesses are sustainable. We have been producing fine stationery for more than one hundred years. As a North German familyowned enterprise, we proceed with Hanseatic calm, determination and foresight. While we continuously improve the quality of our products and processes, we remain dedicated to taking responsibility for our employees, our social environment and increasingly for our partners, whose production processes we help to adapt to the highest international standards.
Our paper is sustainable. The owners of our notebooks, sketchbooks and planners make their entries with fountain pens, ballpoint pens, crayons and pencils of different thicknesses and origins. To suit each individual application, we strive for the perfect paper in the appropriate quality, smoothness and grammage. Paper that is 100% recycled would not meet this requirement. We therefore use paper that also contains long fibres obtained from fresh pulp. Of course, all of our papers are FSC-certified. Because at LEUCHTTURM1917, we have been dealing with this issue for a long time; we even keep track of the development of paper produced in the paper mills that supply us.
Our processing methods are sustainable. We print the pages and covers of our notebooks, planners and sketchbooks with mineral oil-free, waterbased inks and varnishes. Our products also meet the stringent requirements of the EU REACH chemicals regulation, which is based on the rigorous Californian “Proposition 65”, a type of continuously updated list to protect drinking water, the environment and people from substances that are hazardous to health. Here too, we do not wait until the laws become stricter, but see ourselves as part of the solution – with sustainable innovations that we develop together with our partners.
Notebooks, planners and sketchbooks are sustainable at heart. Anyone who writes down their thoughts and ideas with pen and paper is holding on to them and thus deliberately creating a potential personal archive. Our books are not consumer goods; they are consumer durables that become valuable objects when used. Month after month, they are indispensable companions and – once all pages have been filled with writing – are never disposed of. Most of our customers save their notebooks, planners and sketchbooks, because they contain precious memories, ideas and personal history that are treasured most. It doesn’t get more sustainable than that.
