Create a Notebook with sugar cane paper and PP

Choose a 2mm (0.08 inches) sheet; for this example, we use sheets sized 520mm x 520mm (20.47 inches x 20.47 inches).

Mark the sheet with the desired dimensions for the notebook covers using a marker or cutter. For repeated production, consider creating a template.

Use a jigsaw with a metal-cutting blade to cut along the marked lines. Wear protective glasses and gloves for safety. Secure the sheet on the cutting table to prevent movement.

To clean the edges of the covers, use a small knife for a smooth finish.

To prepare the notebook cover, drill holes for the elastic band using a 5/35" (3.57 mm) bit in the back cover and a 2" (50.8 mm) hole saw in the front. You may stack multiple covers for drilling, but use the hole saw individually to easily remove the cut-out. Always secure the covers and wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.

Instructions for Attaching Elastic with Rivets

Use rivets to secure the elastic to the back cover. A rivet consists of two parts; position the elastic between these parts before fastening.

If a riveting machine is unavailable, a hammer can be used to close the rivet.

If creating a specific size notebook, cut the paper to the desired dimensions; here, we use letter-size (8.5" x 11") paper to make half-letter (5.5" x 8.5").

Prepare the covers and sheets for assembly. If a printed sheet is desired, do it now.

As we lack equipment to bind the notebooks, we use an external service for this process.

Stamp your products to identify their materials.

Enjoy your new notebook.
