JournalBooks has put their design caps on once again to offer three new, very well designed 100% recycled material jotters under $4 per unit. All of which will make great notepads for the upcoming summer season of green events and conferences. Ecopreneurist take note.

The new EcoPad comes in at EQP $1.99 and is made from 100% recycled paper and cover materials. The pad allows you to show your “green” side at a very affordable price and also have a rather contemporary design. Also the unit is refillable, which is something you don’t see a lot of in an under $2 item. Colors are natural, black, forest green, royal and red and each unit holds 80 sheets of blank paper.

Next we have the EarthJournal. Totally truth in advertising here, as you can see it is shaped like a globe and filled with 50 sheets of blank paper. This sturdy little jotter is also made of 100% recycled paper and cover materials. Blue and Natural are the two colors on offer. Cover imprinting can be done in a wide selection of color foils if you want, or printed to match a PMS color.

Tucking in under the line at EQP $3.99 is the EcoWrap Journal. Although the design is similar some others on the market the EcoWrap Journal offers two bonuses. First JournalBooks will add a matching imprinted Featherlite recycled barrel pen to your order for just $0.49 EQP. Second the filler is refillable “for maxium earth friendliness”. Again, seeing a refillable eco unit at this price point is rare. Colors run Green, Blue, Red, Natural and Black, and again the jotter is made of 100% recycled paper and cover materials.

Another quick update. JournalBooks - a great vendor for 100% eco-friendly, totally customizable journals and notebooks - has just re-launched their website.

From www.journalbooks.com “You’ll feel like a kid in a candy store. Most of our pre-designed products can still be easily customized to perfectly fit your style, budget, project or event. Find a product you like and then take a look at our Boost A Book options and accessories to find dozens of ways to turn up the volume on value and your message.”

Any Ecopreneurist that is using notebooks or journals or even theme journals - breast cancer education, eco-travel, wine tasting, exercise/nutrition - is encouraged to look around the new JournalBooks website.

JournalBooks is a manufacturer to the promotional items industry only, so you will need to order these items via a distributor like Proforma Simonetta Freelance or your local promo vendor, however the website is certainly open to all.

If you have any questions please contact us at info@proformagreen.com.

JournalBooks is doing stunning custom work with nearly 100% total recycled materials in their notebook and spiral journal products.

Really some of their stuff is just flat amazing and a great way to take green printing and marketing to a whole new level.

For printing JournalBooks uses plant based inks which they claim are better than soy based inks for reproduction quality and are harmless to the environment.

JournalBooks compares the impact of their plant based inks to that of vegetable oil.

The JournalBook Classic journals have 100% recycled covers. Even the poly covers - recycled milk cartons - in the classic line are completely recycled.
