What are the benefits of Paper on the Rocks notebook?
Don’t get us started! There’re many reasons to switch to stone paper and leaf paper for beautiful notebooks, we are listing only a few here:
- Many trees are saved, as we only work with 100% tree-free paper types
- A lot of water is saved, because Rockbooks require no water to produce
- Rockbooks are waterproof, which makes them ideal for outside use
- Almost no bleach is used for our books: Rockbooks are naturally white and Leafbooks’ pages are unbleached
- We are a certified B-Corporation, which means that we are “using business as a force for good”
- Waste materials are used to create high-quality notebooks: discarded limestone for Rockbooks and agricultural waste that would be burned for Leafbooks
- The CO2-footprint of Rockbooks and Leafbooks is much smaller than traditional substitutes
For example: for Paper On The Rocks B Corp certification we were required to calculate the CO2 footprint of our Rockbooks. We are very happy with the initial figure – and will continue to reduce this footprint as much as possible.
Hardcover Rockbook: 0,36 kg
Softcover Rockbook: 0,28 kg
What are the Rockbooks and Leafbooks made of?
Rockbooks are made from stone paper. Literally: paper made from stone. This sustainable tree-free paper-alternative consists of 80% limestone, which is discarded from quarries thus a waste material. It is combined with 20% HDPE (high-density polyethylene), a recycled type-2 plastic. This process results in a 67% lower CO2-footprint in production.
Leafbooks are made from what we call leaf paper. This is exactly similar to traditional paper, but made from 100% agricultural waste. This means that no trees are cut down for the production of this paper. Using a waste material as a source product for high-quality paper makes for a 47% lower total eco-footprint. No bleach is used for the Leafpaper natural pages.
All our notebooks are made in the Netherlands, adhering to the highest environmental and ethical standards. This includes printing with inks based on vegetable oils only, and roofs filled with solar panels.
Design
What kind of customization options are available for corporate Rockbooks and Leafbooks?
We have created an Explainer document, which is available here. It shows exactly what you need to know.
In summary, you can customize the following when ordering custom Rockbooks or leafbooks:
- Outside cover in any full-colour design
- Inside cover in any black-white design
- For hardcover Rockbooks and Leafbooks: the flyleaf (in front & back of the book) 2 sided in any black-white design
1000+ pieces?

- Inside pages to feature dotted, completely blank or any other style pages
Can I get a sneak peek of my custom design?
Yes! To give you an impression of what your custom notebook could look like, we’re happy to create a mock-up for your brand. Just drop Ramon a line and we will create a mock-up for you as soon as possible. See down below for an example.
Order process
What is the minim order of quantity of custom Rockbooks or Leafbooks?
The minimum order quantity for custom Rockbooks or Leafbooks is 100 pieces.
You can create any full-colour cover design, or ask us to help you. The inside cover (and flyleaf for hardcovers only) can be designed in black and white. Full colour inside printing attracts a once-off additional fee. An elastic closing band and reading ribbon can be added to hardcovers in many colours.
From 1000 pieces upwards, it’s possible to also design the Name/Contact page as you please, and include a recurring logo or message on every page of the book. We are happy to discuss alternative sizes to A5, number of pages and anything else from this quantity as well.
What is the expected time of the order process?
When we receive your approval on the design(s), our production time for softcover Rockbooks or Leafbooks is between 2 and 3 weeks. Hardcover Rockbooks or Leafbooks take a little more work, they are shipped within 3 to 4 weeks. Shipping time depends on your location relative to the Netherlands, where our books are made.
Impact
How much valuable resources do I save precisely with Rockbooks or Leafbooks?
We’re glad you’re asking. Down below you can find the impact per volume of Rockbooks.
| Water savings | CO2 savings | Energy savings | Tree savings | |
| 500 books | 5,33 m3 | 86,13 kg | 1,56 GJ | 1,62 trees |
| 1000 books | 10,66 m3 | 172,26 kg | 3,11 GJ | 3,24 trees |
| 2500 books | 26,64 m3 | 430,65 kg | 7,79 GJ | 8,1 trees |
| 5000 books | 53,28 m3 | 861,3 kg | 15,57 GJ | 16,2 trees |
We know you’re probably wondering what these numbers exactly mean. Well, in the case of 2500 books for example… 26,64 m3 water equals 666 showers. 430,65 kg CO2 equals a car ride of 3.845 kilometers. 7,79 GJ equals 279 days of power for an average household. And 8,1 mature trees equals… It couldn’t be that surprising, but that equals exactly 8,1 mature trees. 🙂
