Personalized Hard Cover Wire-O Notebooks: Our team will perform a basic artwork check (size, margins, page order, binding area, personalization setup and color). If there are minor issues, small adjustments may be made before
proceeding to production.
✅ Quick Upload Checklist

📘 1) Artwork Layout (Hard Cover)
- Prepare artwork according to the final notebook size and orientation.
- If applicable, prepare separate files for cover and inner pages.
- Cover artwork should follow the specified hard cover layout and trimming allowance.

🧷 2) Wire-O Binding Direction

🔢 3) Personalization / Variable Data

- Each row in the Excel file represents one personalized notebook.
- Ensure column names clearly match the variable fields used in your artwork.

⚠️ Important:
Variable data positioning must be clearly indicated in the artwork. Any mismatch between artwork and Excel data may affect personalization accuracy.
🧾 4) File Upload

- Upload the Excel file together with the artwork or include it in Additional Notes.
📦 Multiple Files? Please Upload as ZIP

This helps us ensure that no files are missing and allows us to process your order more quickly and accurately.
