Case study

Event merch that became a brand moment for Legl

Legl wanted giveaways that drew people to their stand and had a story behind them. So they swapped high volumes of standard freebies for a smaller range of premium merch: bamboo notebooks, branded artisan chocolate and power banks built to last.

The merch acted as a real conversation starter. People were drawn to the stand and curious to hear the story behind the products. We noticed higher footfall, more meaningful conversations and a greater number of follow-ups post-event compared to previous years.

Every product graded, and we show our working

Most suppliers put an eco label on part of their range without saying what earns it. We check every product against five criteria, and the number it meets sets its grade. This marketplace lists the products that meet at least two.

  • A3 criteria metStrong on materials and on how it was made
  • B2 criteria metClears our bar on two independent counts
  • C1 criterion metOne point in its favour, and no more. We only sell this if no viable alternatives are available.
  • D0 criteria metNothing we can evidence. We don't sell this.

Questions? We've got you covered

An eco-friendly notebook is made from lower-impact materials, most commonly recycled paper or recycled-content covers, and ideally FSC-certified paper from responsibly managed forests. Around half of our range uses recycled materials, and many use FSC-certified paper. Other lower-impact options include kraft card, cork and bamboo covers.

It varies by product. Many have recycled paper inner pages, while covers can be recycled card, kraft, recycled PU or natural materials like cork and bamboo. The specific materials are listed on each product page so you can choose what suits your project.

Yes. Notebooks are one of the easiest items to brand. Depending on the cover, options typically include debossing, foil and hot stamping, full-colour and screen printing, pad printing and laser engraving. The available methods are shown on each product.

Minimum order quantities vary by product and decoration method. The minimum and price breaks for each notebook are shown on the product page and confirmed when you request a quote, so you can order anything from a small run to a company-wide rollout.

Lead times depend on the notebook, the branding method and the order size. The expected timescale is shown on each product and confirmed at quote stage. Tell us your in-hands date when you enquire and we will let you know what is achievable.

A5 is the most popular size and the widest part of our range, with A4 and pocket A6 also available. Most notebooks have lined pages, and many include an elastic closure or a pen loop. Both softcover and hardback styles are stocked.

Paper-only notebooks can usually go into household paper recycling. For wire-bound or hardback designs, remove any metal spiral, elastic or non-paper cover first so the paper can be recycled. Choosing a recycled notebook to begin with keeps the impact lower across its whole life.

Branded notebooks and journals

A notebook is one of the most-used pieces of branded merchandise a company can give. It earns a place on the desk and in the meeting room, so your logo travels far beyond the day it was handed over. Our branded notebooks and journals are chosen for recycled and responsibly sourced materials, then debossed, foiled or printed with your design.

Materials and decoration

Our eco-friendly notebooks span recycled and responsibly sourced materials. Around half the range is made with recycled paper or recycled-content covers, and a good number carry FSC-certified paper from responsibly managed forests. You will also find kraft card, cork and bamboo covers, alongside classic hardbacks. Around half come with an elastic closure, and many include a pen loop. Branding options depend on the notebook, but typically cover debossing, foil and hot stamping, full-colour and screen printing, pad printing and laser engraving. A5 is the most popular size for events and gifting, with A4 and pocket A6 also available, and lined paper is standard across most of the range.

Why buy from Social Supermarket

Every notebook is curated by Social Supermarket, a certified B Corp, and chosen for recycled or renewable materials with supplier credentials we have checked. The range includes notebooks from certified B Corp brands such as Karst and Bambook, so you can pair our own B Corp curation with brands certified to the same standard. Minimum order quantities and lead times are shown on each product and confirmed when you request a quote.
