Notebooks for the media sector (Cyprus)
Branded notebooks for Cyprus broadcasters, festivals, conferences and press kits. PU covers with reporter-friendly paper, MOQ 50 units, 12–18 day lead time from Limassol.
Why a Cyprus broadcaster or festival orders branded notebooks
Three distinct uses drive the media notebook brief. The first is the press-kit notebook — a soft-matte PU A5 notebook paired with a metal rollerball pen, given to every journalist covering a season launch (Sigma TV, CyBC, Antenna) or a festival (Cyprus Film Days at the Rialto, Reflect Festival at Limassol Old Port). The second is the staff-tier at the broadcaster HQ — a heavier notebook used by Sigma TV and CyBC producers and gallery PAs for daily notes. The third is the festival gift — an Italian PU A5 notebook with a foil-stamped festival wordmark, given to the visiting directors and actors at the Cyprus Film Days talent room.
Models and materials that fit
Three SKUs carry the bulk of our Cyprus media briefs. The ME-300 soft-matte PU A5 press notebook (140×210 mm, 80 gsm cream paper, 96 lined pages, ivory ribbon marker, lay-flat binding) is the press-kit and broadcaster HQ tier. The ME-220 hardbound A5 reporter notebook (140×210 mm, 80 gsm cream paper, 96 lined pages, ribbon marker, sewn binding) is the producer and gallery tier. The ME-440 Italian PU A5 festival notebook (140×210 mm, 80 gsm cream paper, 192 lined pages, gilt page edges) is the talent-room and festival gift tier.
Prints and branding approaches
Press-kit tier: blind deboss on the PU cover (no ink, just the impression of the broadcaster wordmark), paired with a flat-embroidered wordmark on the inside front cover. Reporter tier: blind deboss with a small flat-embroidered date or season marker on the spine. Festival tier: gold or silver foil stamp on the Italian PU, paired with the festival's visual identity. Pantone matching follows each broadcaster's brand book and we provide a colour-match report for the procurement file on orders above 200 units.
Bundling and packaging
Press-kit tier ships in a polybag with a printed asset label (broadcaster, season, issue date). Reporter tier ships in a polybag with a printed asset label. Festival tier ships in a rigid 2-piece gift box with a foil-stamped lid and a tissue liner.

Cyprus context
The Cyprus media cluster sits between Nicosia (CyBC headquarters, CytaVision newsroom, AlfaNews), Limassol (Sigma TV studios, Cyprus Film Days at the Rialto, Reflect Festival at the Old Port), and Larnaca (the radio cluster and Antenna's regional bureau). The two annual press-kit spikes are the September season launch (Sigma, CyBC, Antenna) and the March Cyprus Film Days festival. We hold stock of ME-300 in black and navy at our Limassol hub so a 100-unit press-kit order ships in 10 working days.
Frequently asked questions
Which notebook suits a Cyprus Film Days press-kit tier?
The ME-300 soft-matte PU A5 press notebook — 140×210 mm, 80 gsm cream paper, 96 lined pages, ivory ribbon marker, lay-flat binding. Blind deboss on the cover with the festival wordmark, paired with a flat-embroidered wordmark on the inside front cover. A 200-piece press-kit order ships in 14 working days from artwork approval.
Are the materials EU REACH-compliant?
Yes — all PU covers, paper, ribbons and threads used on the ME-300, ME-220 and ME-440 are EU REACH-compliant. We supply a per-batch Declaration of Conformity on request for orders above 200 units, including the SVHC screening list current at the time of production.
Can the notebook survive the field-crew daily grind?
Yes — the ME-300 soft-matte PU cover and the ME-440 Italian PU cover both pass a 30-cycle daily-use test (carried in a backpack, dropped twice, written in with a rollerball). No visible cover wear. We supply the test report on request for orders above 100 units.
How fast can a 200-piece press-kit notebook order turn around?
14 business days for ME-300 soft-matte PU with blind deboss after artwork approval. The September season launch and the March Cyprus Film Days festival are the two annual spikes — book 4 weeks ahead and we hold the slot. Repeat designs from the previous season can ship in 7 working days.
Can the notebook be paired with a pen for a press kit?
Yes — we co-source a metal rollerball pen with the broadcaster wordmark on the cap (laser engraving, max 40×8 mm). Pack the pen in a pen loop on the inside back cover. Add €4.80 per pen. Lead time matches the notebook.
Can the inside front cover carry a removable silicone badge for embargo-sensitive assignments?
Yes — for the ME-220 hardbound reporter notebook we can add a small silicone badge slot on the inside front cover (max 60×40 mm), suitable for a removable broadcaster credential. Add €0.80 per unit for the badge slot.
