Which Size Should You Choose?
Choose A5 if:
- You are ordering for the majority of office employees or field staff
- Recipients travel frequently and need something portable
- Budget is a priority — A5 costs 20–40% less than B5 at the same spec level
- You need faster turnaround — A5 has the widest material availability in Delhi NCR
- It is for New Year gifting, onboarding kits, or event giveaways
Choose B5 if:
- You are ordering for senior managers or executives who write detailed notes
- The diary is for daily planning, not just occasional use
- You want more space for custom inner pages (weekly planner, goals, contacts)
- Recipients work from a fixed desk but also occasionally travel
Choose A4 if:
- The diary stays on a desk at all times (project log, site diary, meeting register)
- Recipients are architects, engineers, or project managers who sketch or diagram
- You need full-page spreads for charts, tables, or planning grids
- It is a register-style product for office or institutional use

Delhi NCR Pricing Guide for Corporate Diaries
Pricing depends on size, paper GSM, cover material, binding, branding method, page count, packing, and quantity. Below are realistic planning ranges from Gravitfy Studio for bulk orders in Delhi NCR.
| Specification Level | A5 (per piece) | B5 (per piece) | A4 (per piece) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy 70 GSM, softcover, logo print, poly pack, 500+ qty | ₹80–₹120 | ₹110–₹160 | ₹140–₹200 | Internal teams, events, large distributions |
| Standard 80 GSM, hardbound, logo print, 500+ qty | ₹120–₹200 | ₹160–₹260 | ₹200–₹320 | Employee gifting, client distribution |
| Premium 90–100 GSM, PU cover, foil/deboss, individual box, 250+ qty | ₹250–₹450 | ₹320–₹550 | ₹400–₹650 | Senior clients, leadership gifting, New Year kits |
| Gift Set Diary + pen + rigid box, 100+ qty | ₹400–₹800 | ₹500–₹950 | ₹600–₹1100 | VIP clients, board-level gifting, luxury kits |
All prices are indicative for orders placed in Delhi NCR. GST extra. Pan-India delivery available. Prices change with quantity — larger orders get lower per-piece rates.
How Quantity Affects Price
Ordering more pieces significantly reduces per-piece cost. Here is a typical A5 standard diary price curve:
- 100 pieces: ₹200–₹280/piece
- 250 pieces: ₹160–₹220/piece
- 500 pieces: ₹120–₹180/piece
- 1,000 pieces: ₹100–₹145/piece
- 2,000+ pieces: ₹85–₹120/piece
Always ask for a quantity slab quote. A jump from 250 to 500 pieces often saves ₹40–₹60 per piece, which more than covers the extra stock for next year.
Paper, Cover & Binding: What to Specify
Paper GSM
- 70 GSM: Economy choice — slight show-through with heavy pens. Fine for pencil and ballpoint.
- 80 GSM: Most popular for corporate diaries. Good opacity, smooth writing, no show-through for most pens.
- 90–100 GSM: Premium feel. Noticeably thicker. Use when the diary is a high-value gift.
Natural/cream shade paper is easier on the eyes for daily writing. White paper looks sharper in photos but can feel harsh for extended use.
Cover Material
- PU cover: Most popular premium look. Flexible, durable, easy to brand with foil or deboss.
- Printed hardboard: Full-colour cover printing possible. Best for brand-heavy artwork.
- Softcover: Lighter and cheaper. Good for internal use or events with high quantities.
- Leatherette / textured: Gives a luxury feel without full PU cost.
Binding
- Hardbound (case bound): Most premium. Pages stay flat. Best for A5 and A4 gift diaries.
- Wire-O / Spiral: Pages fold 360° flat. Good for project use. Less premium as a gift.
- Perfect bound (glued spine): Clean look, slim profile. Common in planners and softcover diaries.
