Compendiums — Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1

What's the minimum order?

Accepted Answer

25 units for full-grain Italian leather compendiums with foil stamping or blind emboss. 50 units for PU leather and recycled leather formats. 100 units is the threshold at which custom interior configurations (specific tablet model, bespoke card-slot layout) become cost-effective compared to using a stock configuration.

Question 2

Can you source fully recycled leather?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Recycled-leather compendiums use leather scraps from tannery waste bonded with natural latex — the material takes laser engraving and foil stamping as well as full-grain leather and carries ESG certification from the source tannery. Pricing sits between PU ($18–38) and full-grain ($80+) at $28–48 per compendium.

Question 3

What's the best decoration for leather?

Accepted Answer

Blind emboss (logo pressed without ink or foil) is the most understated executive finish and favoured by private-wealth and top-tier law. Foil stamping (gold, silver, rose gold, copper) is the contemporary default. Laser engraving works but produces variable tone on full-grain — test a sample before committing to large quantities.

Question 4

Do the compendiums fit an iPad Pro?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tablet compendiums are available with cut-outs for iPad 11-inch and 13-inch Pro, iPad Air, and Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 / S10 models. Specify the exact tablet at order stage — the pocket is sewn to ±2mm of the target device, and retrofit is not possible once assembled. Apple Pencil loops are standard on tablet models.

Question 5

What's the lead time?

Accepted Answer

4–5 weeks for stocked PU and recycled leather compendiums decorated locally in Australia. 8–10 weeks for full-grain Italian leather supplied with bespoke foil or emboss. 12–14 weeks for fully custom-cut formats (bespoke dimensions, unique internal layout, custom tablet fits, non-standard insert pads).

Question 6

Can we include a branded notepad insert?

Accepted Answer

Yes — interior notepads with your logo on each page, custom ruled/dotted/grid formats, or recycled-paper inserts with FSC certification are all available. 50-sheet and 100-sheet pads are standard; 200-sheet pads for long-form note takers. Replacement pads can be made in matching runs for reorder efficiency.
