The Challenge
At Econoprint, our solutions-driven approach helps solve problems for our clients. Nan Mellem Publishing came to us with a challenge to solve for one of her clients:

I have an interesting client request and I’m wondering if the printing and binding would be in Econoprint’s wheelhouse. She wants an 8.5 x 11 inch, landscape, tabletop flipchart kind of thing. She does want it to stand up to be seen, but it will also be a notebook/journal,” Nan Mellem.


The Solution
Our Senior Project Coordinator, Glen Barth, has over 30 years of knowledge and experience in the printing industry and came up with multiple solutions right away.

The winning solution was to coil bind the pages so that they can easily be flipped when in the standing position and also lay flat while being used for journaling.

A thick, stiff back page was added for support and stability and an easel backing was adhered to this back page. The easel backing allows the notebook/journal to stand up and function as a calendar, and when the easel back is folded flat, transforms it into a journal for users to make notes in.


The Outcome
Our client was very happy, her client was thrilled, and we had the satisfaction of providing another solution!
