About Detedu

Since our establishment in 2015, we have been producing notebooks that combine functionality with thoughtful design. Our facility in London handles every stage of production, from paper selection to final binding.

Notebook production facility

Our Foundation

We started with a small workshop and five employees who shared a commitment to quality stationery. The demand for customizable notebooks grew steadily, and we expanded our production capacity while maintaining control over each manufacturing step.

Today, our team of 47 specialists operates modern equipment alongside traditional bookbinding techniques. We produce 15,000 notebooks monthly for corporate clients, educational institutions, and retail partners across the United Kingdom.

Quality control process

Our Approach

We focus on producing notebooks that serve their purpose reliably. Our paper suppliers are certified by FSC, ensuring responsible forestry practices. Each batch undergoes testing for paper weight, binding strength, and cover durability before leaving our facility.

Customization options include cover materials (leather, linen, recycled cardboard), binding types (sewn, spiral, perfect bound), and paper specifications (80-120 gsm, lined, dotted, blank). Minimum order quantities start at 50 units for corporate branding.

Core Principles

Quality Standards

ISO 9001 certified production processes with documented quality checks at six stages of manufacturing.

Material Selection

We source 80% of materials from European suppliers, prioritizing recycled content and sustainable forestry certifications.

Production Transparency

Clients receive detailed specifications for each order, including paper origin, binding method, and estimated delivery timeframes.

Continuous Improvement

Annual equipment upgrades and staff training programs ensure we maintain production efficiency and product consistency.
