What this one is
Milestone record book
The book is printed with a structured record layout — dates, weights and measurements, firsts and notes — with photographic space alongside. Because pages are printed from your artwork, the fields follow the record your organisation keeps rather than a stock template, which is why a maternity unit can use the same construction as a retail keepsake. The binding lets the book lie flat while it is written in. Page count, cover material and the photo capacity are specified to order.
- Structured record pages — Fields follow your own record sheet rather than a stock template.
- Photographic space — Prints or scan inserts alongside the written record.
- Lies flat when written in — Binding chosen for use at an appointment or at home.
- Cover to spec — PU, board or flexible cover in the colour you specify.
Where it gets used
Who orders milestone record books
Maternity units and health authorities use them as a patient-held record that accompanies appointments. Baby and maternity brands commission them as a retail keepsake. Gift retailers stock them for new parents. Hospitals use them where a printed record is part of the care pathway.
What we can change for you
Made to be written in for years
This item is not picked off a shelf. Every part of it is specified before it is made, and these are the parts buyers change most often on a baby record books programme. Send whatever you have — a drawing, a photo of a sample you like, or a rough sketch — and we quote against it.
- Format — Case-bound record book, ring binder with refills, spiral, or a boxed book with milestone cards.
- Cover — Paperboard, cloth, faux leather or PP, with foiled title and a die-cut photo window.
- Inner pages — Printed prompted spreads to your layout, photo pockets, envelope pockets or sticker sheets.
- Extras — Sticker sheet, milestone cards, height chart, keepsake envelope or a photo-frame insert.
- Branding — Foil, debossing, screen print, printed belly band or a printed gift box.
- Safety and compliance — Age-appropriate materials, rounded corners and market-specific wording where required.
Anything not on this list is a question rather than a no. We work from your artwork or a rough sketch, and cutting dies and covers are engineered in-house — so a change costs you a conversation, not a new supplier.
How your order is made
Tooling, printing and binding on our own line
Prompts, pockets and sticker sheets are proofed as one sequence. Rounded corners and material choice are set with the age group in mind, because this is a book that is written in by hand and handled by a child.
- Tooling and dies — cutting dies and covers are engineered in-house, so a change to the shape is a conversation rather than a new supplier.
- Printing and finishing — offset and screen printing, foil stamping, blind debossing, spot UV and edge painting all run on site.
- In-line QC — checks at cutting, stitching and packing, not only at the end. You get the inspection photos before the cartons close.
- Export and documentation — cartons, pallets, labelling and shipping documents prepared to your forwarder specification. 94.8% of what we make is exported.

How to order
From spec to shipment in four steps
Most buyers have a sketch, a sample, or a brief. We turn it into a confirmed sample and then into a repeatable production run.
Product type, dimensions, quantity, logo, and deadline — even a photo is enough.
Unit price, tooling, sample cost, and lead time — usually within one working day.
We make a physical sample for your review before anything goes to bulk.
In-line QC, pre-shipment photos, then packed and shipped to your forwarder.

Working with us
Files, tooling and terms
The same terms apply to this item and to the rest of your order, so the budget and the schedule can be planned before anything is committed.
- Artwork — Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF or CDR) are what embossing, foil and screen print need. A photo, a sketch or a physical sample is enough to start — we tell you before anything is charged if a file has to be rebuilt.
- Tooling — Charged only when the item needs a new mould, die or deboss plate. It is quoted separately and stated upfront — never added later.
- Samples — A stock Sample is free (you cover the courier). A customised is chargeable and the cost is credited against the production order once it is confirmed.
- Payment — Invoiced in US dollars from our company account. Standard terms are T/T — 30% deposit, 70% before shipment — or an L/C at sight for container orders.
- Shipping — FOB Ningbo or Shanghai, CIF, and DDP to Europe and North America. DDP includes duties and final-mile delivery.
- Mixed containers — Several categories can ship in one container, which is how buyers keep the quantity per item down while still filling a shipment.
- Confidentiality — We sign an NDA before you send drawings.
- Documents — One inspection report and one set of documents cover the whole order, whatever the mix of items.
Buyer questions
Can we use our own record layout?
Yes. Pages are printed from your artwork, so your form fields are used as supplied.
How many photos does it hold?
Photo capacity is specified to order. Tell us how many prints a parent is expected to add.
Does it lie flat?
Yes. The binding is chosen so the book lies flat while it is written in.
Can the prompts be written to our own content?
Yes. Send the prompt list, section order and any illustrations and we set the pages to your layout, then proof the full sequence before the run.
Can pages be added later?
Yes, in a ring or spiral format. A case-bound book is fixed at binding, so if the range may grow, choose refillable from the start.
Are the materials suitable for young children?
We specify rounded corners and appropriate materials for the age group, and we will confirm which declarations apply for your destination market before you order.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Minimums are set per item and depend on material, binding and finishing. The figure above is the starting point; the exact minimum is confirmed with your quote.
Can the book be sold with a gift box?
Yes. Matched rigid boxes, printed sleeves and gift sets are routine for this line.
