You can print your own custom deskpads and desk planners at Valenna: A3 or A4 landscape paper pads with your own design on every sheet, mounted on a rigid backing board. Use them for weekly planners, monthly calendars, project trackers, reception pads, corporate gifts, school planners or stationery to sell. Wire-bound deskpads can be ordered from one unit, and prices start from R23.63, falling automatically as your quantity grows.
This guide covers sizes, paper, backing, binding, the hanging option, pricing, file preparation and turnaround in one place.

Every sheet carries your own layout, so you are not limited to a fixed template. See weekly, monthly and undated layouts.
Design at the final size. Shrinking an A3 layout into A4 also shrinks date boxes and text. A bespoke size above A5 and below A4 can be trimmed from A4 at the A4 rate. See A3 vs A4 deskpad sizes and dimensions and binding position.
| Option | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Regular 80gsm paper | Up to 100 sheets | Everyday office pads and high sheet counts |
| Thicker 120gsm paper | Up to 50 sheets, less show-through | Gifts and premium stationery |

The backing keeps the pad stable while people write away from the edge of a desk. Test the pen you intend to use if paper feel matters. See paper and backing board options.
