Design Two Journals

A custom journal is a personalized hardcover notebook featuring your own photo or design printed wraparound on the cover. Custom Envy journals are 5×7 inches with 128 pages of 90gsm paper (ruled or blank), flexible casewrap binding, and a semi-gloss laminate finish. Printed in Ohio, USA. $45. Ships in 1–4 business days.

What Makes Custom Envy Journals Different?

Most personalized journals have a photo slapped on a cheap cover with thin pages that bleed through. Custom Envy journals are different. The cover print wraps the entire exterior — front, spine, and back — with a semi-gloss laminate that protects the image from daily handling, bag friction, and general life. Inside, 128 pages of smooth 90gsm paper give you a surface that works with pens, markers, and most fountain pens without bleed-through.

The flexible casewrap binding means the journal lays flat when open — a detail that matters more than people realize until they’re trying to write in a journal that keeps snapping shut. At 5×7 inches, it’s the standard notebook size that fits in a purse, backpack, or desk drawer. Choose ruled pages for writing and note-taking, or blank pages for sketching, bullet journaling, and creative freedom.

At $45, a custom journal is a meaningful, practical gift that people actually use. Printed in our Ohio facility, inspected before shipping, and backed by our lifetime guarantee. With our Buy One, Get One Free deal, you can design one for yourself and one as a gift — or get one ruled and one blank for different uses. Each order plants a tree.

Custom Photo Journals as Gifts

Custom journals make thoughtful gifts for writers, students, travelers, and anyone who puts pen to paper. A graduation journal with a milestone photo on the cover. A travel journal with a destination shot. A wedding journal for the bride. Upload the right photo and it becomes something they’ll keep and use — not toss in a drawer. $45 with our BOGO deal (second journal free). Ships in 1–4 days from Ohio.
