Where are your custom notebooks made?

Accepted Answer

All Beech Tree Paper notebooks are proudly made in the USA—handcrafted and manufactured in small batches right from our Michigan workshop.

Question 12

What materials are used to manufacture your notebooks?

Accepted Answer

Our notebooks are constructed using high-quality paper and heavy cardstock covers engineered for daily use. Our paper and cardstock are strictly recycled or FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council) and sustainably sourced right here in the USA.

Question 13

Are your custom notebooks eco-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We utilize 100% recycled covers and FSC-certified or recycled interior paper options. To close the loop entirely, 100% of our production paper scraps are donated to local charities and schools to support community crafting and funding.

Question 14

What interior page layouts can I choose from?

We offer several standard structural formats: Lined Pages (standard horizontal rules for daily journaling and longform notes), Dot Grid (minimalist tracking dots for bullet journal layouts), Graph/Grid Squares (geometric squares for blueprint sketching and technical engineering), Blank Pages (uninterrupted freehand space for sketch artists and brainstorming), and The Hodgepodge Journal (our signature creative blend featuring a mix of varied textures, weights, and colored papers bound into a single unique book).

Question 18

What is your policy regarding missing or lost packages?

Orders affected by incorrect address details will need to be repurchased.

Question 19

What if my order arrives damaged or incorrect?

Accepted Answer

Please contact our team as soon as possible with your order details and clear photos of the damage or printing error. We will work quickly to manufacture and send replacements at no extra charge.
