2、 Production process
（1） Pre design and layout
1. Customer demand communication: Fully communicate with customers to understand their needs for customized laptops in terms of usage, style, size, page count, inner page format, cover material, process requirements, quantity, budget, etc., and clarify their brand elements (such as logo, brand color, slogan, etc.) and design preferences.
2. Design proposal formulation: Based on customer needs, a professional design team will carry out the overall design of the notebook, including cover design, interior page design, layout, etc. The design scheme will fully integrate the customer's brand elements, reflect the customer's personalized needs, while ensuring the aesthetics, practicality, and readability of the design.
3. Design draft confirmation: Produce the design proposal into a design draft, including cover renderings, interior page samples, etc., and submit it to the client for confirmation. Customers can provide modification suggestions, and we will make adjustments based on their feedback until they are satisfied with the design draft and sign to confirm.
（2） Paper procurement and pre-processing
1. Paper procurement: According to product parameter requirements, purchase inner and cover paper from reputable and high-quality paper suppliers. Strict quality inspection will be conducted on the paper during procurement, including indicators such as whiteness, thickness, flatness, stiffness, ink absorption, and folding resistance, to ensure that the purchased paper meets production requirements and quality standards.
2. Paper cutting: Cut the purchased large sheets of paper according to the designed size. Use high-precision cutting equipment to ensure accurate paper size and neat edges after cutting, with an error controlled within ± 0.5mm.
3. Paper pretreatment (if necessary): For some special materials of paper or paper with special process requirements, pretreatment is required before printing. For example, for copperplate paper with a smooth surface, corona treatment is required to improve the adhesion of ink; For kraft paper, surface coating treatment can be carried out to improve the printing effect.
3、Printing process
1. Inner page printing: According to the requirements of the design draft, use appropriate printing methods to print the inner page paper. The commonly used printing methods include offset printing, digital printing, etc. Offset printing is suitable for large-scale production, with stable printing quality, bright colors, and high resolution; Digital printing is suitable for small batches, personalized customization, and can achieve variable data printing with a short production cycle. During the printing process, parameters such as printing pressure, ink usage, and drying temperature will be strictly controlled to ensure clear printing, accurate color, no ghosting, and no missed prints on the inner pages.
2. Cover printing: Cover printing is similar to inner page printing, selecting the appropriate printing method based on the cover material and design requirements. For paper covers, offset or digital printing is usually used; For leather covers, silk screen printing, transfer printing, digital printing and other methods can be used; For metal covers, screen printing, laser printing, and other methods can be used. During the cover printing process, attention will be paid to the reproduction of colors and the refinement of patterns to ensure that the cover printing effect meets customer expectations.
4、Quality Inspection and Packaging
1. Quality inspection: Establish a strict quality inspection system to comprehensively inspect the production process and finished products of laptops.
• Process inspection: In various processes such as printing, binding, and post-processing, professional quality inspectors are arranged to conduct sampling inspections, timely discover and solve quality problems that occur in the production process, and ensure that the product quality of each process meets the requirements.
• Finished product inspection: Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the notebook products that have completed all processing steps, including appearance quality (whether the cover is flat, scratch free, stain free, whether the printed pattern is clear, whether the color is accurate, whether the binding is firm, without errors, missing pages, duplicate pages, etc.), dimensional accuracy (whether the length, width, and height dimensions of the notebook meet the design requirements, and whether the error is within the allowable range), functional quality (whether the writing on the inner pages is smooth, whether the binder opens and closes smoothly, whether the inner pages are easy to replace, etc.). For products that pass inspection, affix a qualified
label; For non-conforming products, rework or scrap treatment should be carried out to ensure that every notebook leaving the factory meets quality standards.

• Single packaging: Each notebook can be individually packaged in OPP bags, kraft paper envelopes, paper boxes, etc. to protect the notebook from damage during transportation and storage, while enhancing the product's grade.
Batch packaging: For large quantities of laptops,
cardboard boxes will be used for bulk packaging. High strength corrugated cardboard boxes are selected for the cardboard boxes, and suitable box specifications are designed according to the size and quantity of the notebooks to ensure that they are neatly and stably placed inside the cardboard boxes. Buffer materials such as foam and bubble film will also be placed in the carton to prevent the notebook from being damaged due to collision during transportation. After packaging is completed, label the product name, quantity, specifications, customer information, production date, and other relevant information on the outside of the
cardboard box for easy identification and management.
