Frequently Asked Questions

Who can apply to become a Notera trade partner?

Notera trade enquiries suit bookshops, stationery stores, wholesalers, gift shops, museum shops, yoga studios, hotels, online sellers, gifting teams, importers and commercial buyers sourcing handmade paper stationery for resale or gifting.

What products are available for trade?

Notera’s current collection includes hardbound art journals with vintage, ancient and spiritual artwork, soft felt journals, notebooks, planners, pocket diary sets of two, sketchbooks and paper goods, with the A5 journals running to 140 pages of 125 GSM handmade paper.

Do you support custom products?

Yes. Custom journals are made where the standard collection does not meet the buyer’s brief. Send the product type, reference, preferred paper, size, binding, cover and quantity so available options can be reviewed before sampling.

What is your minimum order quantity?

There is no single MOQ. It is set per item by the design, quantity, paper and any customization, since a stock notebook, a foil-stamped art journal and a felt-covered diary have very different production needs. Your quote states each minimum clearly.

Can you handle large orders?

Yes. Large stationery requirements are handled across journals, notebooks, planners, pocket diaries, sketchbooks and paper goods. Product selection should reflect your store, customers, season and delivery date.

Which countries do you supply?

Notera supplies trade buyers worldwide. Include your destination country with the enquiry so current shipping options, commercial terms and delivery responsibilities can be confirmed.

What papers are available?

Notera journals use 125 GSM handmade, acid-free paper. Cotton, recycled and FSC paper can be quoted for custom projects. Paper and binding are confirmed for every design.

Do you provide samples before a larger order?

Yes, samples can be requested for selected designs and qualifying commercial enquiries. Samples are useful for checking size, paper, binding, cover and overall character before you place a larger trade order.

How do you manage quality control?

Quality begins with a clear approved sample that both sides sign off. Paper, form, size, binding, covers, print and condition are reviewed before each dispatch, while the natural variation of handmade paper is accepted as part of each journal. Any content declarations needed for your market are agreed before production begins.

Can Notera ship to buyers abroad?

Yes. International orders are shipped according to destination, quantity and agreed commercial terms. Freight, export documents, duties, customs responsibilities and delivery arrangements are confirmed in the quote before an order proceeds, so nothing is left to guess.

How long does a trade order take?

A confirmed timeline is given in each quote, alongside MOQ, pricing and packing details. The timeline depends on the selected designs, quantity, paper, sample requirement, customization, production schedule, packing and destination. For diary season and gifting stock, plan early and tell us the exact date your order must be in your store.
